lyrics

I fall through all my words
There there now, please
don't be so hard on yourself
I'm stuck in these shoes
Laced so tight my toes are black
Toe-less I crawl my way
through alone I lay

Wondering and waiting for
everything to happen like I dream
Waiting and wondering
why my feet have been so heavy for the passed 4 years.
...for years...

I fear...and I fear.
You gather up, you gather up your strength
You push it out, you push it out in shades
All I got, all I got is what's in me
All I want, all I want is what's in you.
The stronger and the leading
I feel diseased. Unmoving is my heart to want it.
I face the black. Not knowing what's beneath me, I tread this sea. I'm kicking waves and my head is fighting for the sun. My arms and legs break down, the bitterness takes me whole. I'm kicking up waves of my own my heart is fighting for the light to take me home. Oh yeah I see the light.

And my envy knows not why you choose to walk the path you choose to walk, the strength you wield inside, I've fallen subject to what we all hate the most, what we all fear we'll see within ourselves so take me home.

Fighting for light I'm breaking waves of my own, I'm losing my sight the salt is taking my eyes. Writhing my arms in ways no ocean has seen, I'm ripping apart the current that owns me, yeah. I'm fighting, Yeah I'm fighting for the sun. I'm fighting, yeah for the sun. I'm fighting, yeah I'm fighting for the sun, I'm fighting.
