Lyrics
We set the baseline and then held our breath The model half-finished, the structure not yet The record is clean and the order is right But the thing we are building does not answer at night Mid-transition, neither in nor through The old world is leaving, the new has no proof The gate holds a shape but the upstream runs wild We are not failing, we are not yet arrived Some questions are answered, some questions still wait Some people are bought in, some people irate We built the container but the water has will And the thing that was promised is mostly still still Mid-transition, neither in nor through The old world is leaving, the new has no proof The weight of the halfway is heavy to hold The path is not broken, the path is not old The map is complete The walk is not done The roles have been written But not everyone We know what we built We know what we need Mid-transition is just another word for proceed Mid-transition Steady True Not there yet Not where we were Moving
