lyrics

This heart I’m running to breaks through this stone
I’ve let go of it all except my bones
So let it sail away it’s breaking waves I’d say, I’m home
If it only made some sense I’d write it down
And less a fool I’d be to make no sound
But I’ll keep the orbit straight as long as you orchestrate aloud

I feel for once it’s not something longed
Not something haunting and pulling me along
You’ll break out that heart and I’ll sing a song
It’s lifting me up to where I belong

Floating ‘round eternity it’s always been
Etched dark in stone yet washed away with the wind
I clutch to all I see yet let it drift through my dreams and it won’t end

I feel for once it’s not something longed
Not something haunting and pulling me along
You’ll break out that heart and I’ll sing a song
It’s lifting me up to where I belong
Now I feel it all, it all at once
Build up inside, in line for so long
I’ll set me free, I’ll say I tried
Spin out again, I swear to god I never lied, but that’s a lie I’ve let survive

Reflecting through stained glass, a shattered scale
I’ve been worse off since fighting tooth and nail
Roll out my fated plans, I’ll hand them to the wind but I’ll fail
This heart i’m running to breaks through this stone
I’ve let go of it all except my bones
But that was all a dream run by my clock it seems, and I’m alone

I feel for once it’s not something longed
Not something haunting and pulling me along
You’ll break out that heart and I’ll sing a song
It’s lifting me up to where I belong
Now I feel it all, it all at once
Build up inside, in line for so long
I’ll set me free, I’ll say I tried
Spin out again, I swear to god I never lied, but that’s a lie I’ve let survive
