Empty Atlas - Valleys Lyrics

On the edge of this porch, at a house where you have lived since 10 years old
There's a map beside the door, marking where you've been and where you want to go
Leave these lackluster suburbs you've started to think less and less of
What's more, it won't be enough
Ambition squares your shoulders. Determination straightens up your neck
You snap with every setback. It's so much worse if you don't course-correct
Live and love your letdowns. Learn to take the joy whenever it comes
The little battles won
At the end of every valley, there's a fell for you to climb
Doesn't ask all that much of you, just your peace of mind and time
And we could all stand more victories, but you can still be happy in the valleys
At the base of this cliff, stricken with the constant vertigo of failing
You can find a better path, draw you back to center, stop your wailing
Work for everything you want, but don't wear every loss along the way
Be more than your achievements or tarnish over all your golden days
And when I cannot see, my strength is failing me
I know You're here with me in the valleys
