Victory Road

Every green blade stood tall in a field
Staring down in my soul. I forgot my shield.
And all the bitterness left such a stench in my blood.
I will never forget how it felt when they turned my light off.
Sinking sorrow down my throat with the fire burning out.
I left my keys at a place that I shouldn't return.
And I prepared myself a plate to dine with the absence.

Eluded
03:31
|

Since I'm feeling the lies, I'm finding myself digging deeper holes.
Since I'm living in ties, I'm finding myself eating all alone.
And I'll push, push, push, until I give.
And I'll push, push, push, until I strain.
All my shirts are ripped in half and my jeans are torn to shreds.
All my money is spent and there's not a penny to my name.
And I'll push, push, push, until I give.
And I'll push, push, push, until I strain.
And I'll push, push, push, until I give,
And I'll push, push, push, until I strain.
Since I'm feeling the weight, I'm finding myself pulling everything.
Since I'm eluded in this state, I'm finding myself eating all alone.
But I'll push, push, push, until I give.
And I'll push, push, push, until I strain.
And I'll push, push, push, until I give,
And I'll push, push, push, until I strain.
And I'll push, push, push, until I give,
And I'll push, push, push, until I strain.
And I'll push, push, push, until I give,
And I'll push, push, push, until I strain.

Collecting

I've got bad habits seeping out my inner ears that cause me to hate myself.
I've got piles of secrets stacked upon my lips to make them chapped.
So I'll call the doctor to analyze my breaths.
"Unstable and prone to every accident."
You stood above me, head in your hands.
Poured my head out and filled it with sand.
Oh, just speak. Push my lungs to breathe.
I am the earth that warms beneath the sun.
I would sleep to rest my eyes and dream for years and years.
Wake me up.
And I couldn't find a peace in my bones and the truth wouldn't fit in my head.
In collecting my thoughts, I found a reason to let motivation flow through my blood.
Oh, just speak. Push my lungs to breathe.
I am the earth that warms beneath the sun.
I would sleep to rest my eyes and dream for years and years.
Wake me up.
What could flying do?
(What could flying do?)
What could flying do?
(What could flying do?)
To make this all evaporate my sense of longing for a chance to be heard.

Lay My Head
03:08
|

I saw you boiled in a sweatshirt you wore five years ago
Where you freckles poured out your cheeks.
"I'm not scared to leave, but I'm tempted to go.
It's not the same, it's not the youth I used to know."
So I'd say...
That I found a place to lay my head for the weekend
Where all of my friends would hold on for me.
And it reached my heart, and it pulled it on my words.
Thanks for growing these years with me.
I spent two days with a bunch of animals spreading colors along the floors
Where no one will remember the art that was completely heartless,
Completely prideful.
But I found a place to lay my head for the weekend
Where all of my friends would hold on for me.
And it reached my heart, and it pulled it on my words.
Thanks for growing these years with me.
It's curious how everyone around us always seem to love.

And I found a place to lay my head for the weekend
Where all of my friends would hold on for me.
And it reached my heart, and it pulled it on my words.
Thanks for growing these years with me.

Hummingbird
04:32

I took my pens and paper and packed them in my bag.
I spent the weekend in the woods without a thought
Of whether or not you really meant everything you said.
I eventually ditched the paper and just wrote in my head.
And I'd let my head fill with every single thing you've said to me
Every little thing you'd ever mean.
And I'd let my lungs fill with the scent of losing angst.
You drew a picture of a beautiful morning song.
Every stroke was pressed with all of your love.
And I felt my stomach turn in the most delightful way.
My hummingbird sang with passion through my veins.
And I'd let my head fill with every single thing you've said to me
Every little thing you'd ever mean.
In all of these years we were searching for answers,
But we found a home steady above the sea
Within each other's speech.
Adoration paints with motivation in every seem.
You've spilled the colors in my mind so I can finally see.
I've let you grow as the apple of my eyes.
I grow weak just speaking your name, just preaching your name.
You've left paintings in my clothes with love in every seam.
You've spilled the colors in my mind so I can finally see.
I'd let you grow with every word that I would every speak.
You're the adoration that flows beneath my feet.
And I'd let my head fill with every single thing you've said to me
Every little thing you'd ever mean.
In all of these years we were searching for answers,
But we found a home steady above the sea,
Yeah we found a home steady above the sea,
Yeah we found a home steady above the sea,
Within each other's speech.

Lion's Roar
05:26
|

We never found a comfort space, but within the sound we felt safe.
And we would listen to a lion's roar to guide us across the sea.
And we marched toward everything we've heard from everyone's stories.
And with that beauty there was nothing to be ridiculed.
We never found a comfort space, but within the sound we felt safe.
And we would listen to a lion's roar to guide us across the sea.
And we marched toward everything we've heard from everyone's stories.
And with that beauty there was nothing to be ridiculed.
(He is the sun and I am the earth)
I can sing a melody to pass my years,
but when will the angels come?
Oh, when will the angels come?
I can sing a melody to pass my years,
but when will the angels come?
Oh, when will the angels come?
He is the sun and I am the earth.

For a Friend
03:49

You've lived through all sorts of different climates
Frozen to the idea of hell being your home.
And I wish you wouldn't be so stubborn.
(And I wish you wouldn't be so stubborn)
And I wish you wouldn't be...
(And I wish you wouldn't be...)
I've been speaking in so many different languages
Hoping that you will find your way.
(You will find your way...)
Back to where this all began and say hello to your neighbors.
They have been worried, why won't you worry?
Pluck the feather from the bird to dip into ink
With all your notes filled with simple memories.
And I wish you would just be honest.
(And I wish you would just be honest)
And I wish you would just...
(And I wish you would just...)
If there's a cure I pray you bathe in it
To change what you're used to breathing.
I've been speaking in so many different languages
Hoping that you will find your way.
(You will find your way...)
Back to where this all began and say hello to your neighbors.
They have been worried, why won't you worry?
I pray that one day you will realize
That this is not where you are meant to be.
Kick down the walls that have held you in,
Tear up the pages that you've held onto
Your whole life.
I pray that one day you will realize
That this is not where you are meant to be.
Kick down the walls that have held you in,
Tear up the pages that you've held onto
Your whole life.
