lyrics

A glass of lovely lies
A serenading chorus
Slips between my lips
And floats like autumn leaves, not Viking ships
A Trojan-esque disguise
Should I open up my eyes and lock the door?
Or burrow in my hole so I can drink again
In peace tonight?

You're the radiance of dawn
The moon, the light, the sun
When all my will is gone
And there's just gravity
You're the water in my hand
Till the rain comes
And all dying things
Come alive

But I still cower and cry
Can't keep my whiskey glass dry
I stumble and fall
Can't keep my head high

I'd take it all back if I could
I'd be leaving all the shame in the woods
Down the idiot well
I blame the stress and I blame myself
For cheating you of time
We could've taken for a life
But I can't stop now
I've burned it all down
And I'd pull it all back
And I know you gotta go
But hold on
Hold on
Hold on

Say you love life
Push the big fear down
Holding back the tide
To get to higher ground

Say you love this life
Push the big fear down
Holding back the tide
To get to higher ground

God only knows I've tried
I've justified the self-abuse
A chance at peace of mind
I've tried to stop the tide
