middle-earth - I Dakota - II Janci - III Yeoltree Lyrics

I trudge on through this mountain range
To find my heart along the way
Screaming up toward the cloudless skies

Searching for a part of me that I could teach to look inside
And find an explanation behind my existence
Am I running from myself or am I running from the finish line
I'm just chasing what I know
The only thing that brings meaning to my life

Oh my companion
You've always stood right by my side
In your loyal strength, I can rely
And it feels like insects inside my mind, but I can rely
I can rely

If you've grown tired of the weight of the world always bringing you down
Loosen your grip
Turn the tables
Bring it back around
Let's kick it

And it seems that the whole world wasn't so heavy, after all
And as I look down from this ledge
I'm counting years that I have spent
Lost, wandering in the abyss
Day in, day out, the stress, the toil
Pouring myself into the soil
Planting seeds in hopes that they could grow
How can I show you this comes from my heart, my sun and stars
We've made it so far
And I found myself
Give me the means hold the torch
The doors are closing, just ignore it
They were never there to begin with
So go find yourself

I found the exit door
I left my heart out on the dance-floor
To all the grooving shoes keeping time
I'll introduce you to what was never mine
To all the wandering eyes keeping score
She represents a world that was never yours
You never knew a thing about love
Because you f*cked it up when push came to shove
And now you'll lie awake and curse on your mistakes
You lost your heart when you couldn't raise the stakes

Don't hold the anchor down
When the ship craves
The punch of the waves
Against the bow
The sea it calls me out
I tried to walk away, try to walk away, I tried to
In faith we trust that this will give us what we need
But it's so hard to leave and it's so hard to stay here
I tried to walk away, try to walk away
When we give all that we have, there's not much that we can say
But it's so hard to leave and it's so hard to stay here

We've been at it for years
But we haven't strayed far from the coast
It's because we haven't set aside our fears
Or shaken off the ghost
Of our past, Of our future
They pull like chains to the stern
In their control, we drift
A doomed voyage

I've set sail, I'm on my way
After years of feeling lost I am no longer afraid
The only difference between where you are now, and where you'll be
Is the distance between these knots, they will tighten if I don't break free

And if I don't tell them to leave how will they know that I'd rather be alone
And if I don't plant the seed, it will never grow
But I'd rather be alone
Watch you profanity

I tried to walk away, try to walk away
I tried to walk away, try to walk away, I tried to
In faith we trust that this will give us what we need
But it's so hard to leave and it's so hard to stay here
I tried to walk away, try to walk away
And when I give all that I have, don't take me as a joke
But the current is pulling me and I'm losing hope

Take guard of the fort, we are going off to war
Taking to the seas to find an island that we'll never get to leave
Until we sink, we mark our way and may we never lose track
And we sing
A universal boom to keep in time
Row
