lyrics

Live unafraid, stop keeping lists
They're all the same
A hole remains
Confused, it's true
Don't know to go, don't know to stay

The world started change
How much was enough
More, what everyone wants
Fill it up, not fat enough

We all want more in every way
When that fills up it's all the same
It's never enough to keep us satisfied

This place feels strange
It looks the same
But every turn there's more to pay
Let them laugh, it's alright

Yeah I thought you learned, I thought you changed

Break before you fall, ashamed of it all
The color fades, your face so pale
You can't save it all, but what did you make?
What did you give away?
I'm blown away by the choices you've made
It's money walk away
Can't take it to your grave
Expectations, I feel so underdone
Like a tidal wave on a deserted plain

Try and walk away
You want to live
Another day
This void, it stays
There's no room to push away
When darkness falls
It's easy to see
A glimmer of hope
A hint of light
But it fades
So far away
The townies they go out at night
They spew their booze
They get into fights
In god's country it's their life

You need to choose what you love
Little by little you'll know
The puzzle turns to a whole
Then it's cold, yeah it's cold

It's cold when the rain falls above me
The air I breathe feels so clean
What do you see?

Sure I played a fair game
But I'm laying low, my chances down
Blurred on my heels
Said it was fine
Money and life will not hide
Feel ill doing this work
Don't say I don't try, but sometimes
Truth, the pursuit of the new thing to do
Is all that satisfies
Push in
Don't care about your love
Don't care about your faith
Don't care about your god
Just try and push all on me
I've got a hole inside, nobody knows

So much has happened to me come over
Come over
The sound that washes me all over
All over
So this was meant to be
One lover, no other
The void, temporary
It's over, it's over

Please remain in peace
Don't move, stay still
Please believe me when I say
You've got a hold on me
Please blaze the path without ease
The struggle takes a toll on me
Please take a chance on things
They won't last, regret never dies

Four words come to me when I wake
They've got a hold on me
Four words set me free
Come wash over me

Eat breath dream leave
Sleep dream breath leave
Eat sleep dream repeat
Eat sleep work repeat

Please take a chance on me
Come wash over me
Come wash over me
Take a chance on me
Four words come to me when sleep
They've got a hold on me
They've got a hold on me
Take a chance on me
