about

This was one of the first songs I ever wrote back in September of 2014, originally titled; "Song for Ellie." I stumbled across it one day while recording and played it. I realized that this was going to be the song to bring the album to its close. It's where all the songs come together.

lyrics

well maybe someday this light could be sunny
but where i stand has got me alive
people fade into a life in the pages
and sometimes your eyes are just my fire
when a seldom sorrow holds you high up
and you make sure your mind's in the right state
then let the world come down while you're thinkin'
and send someone to see in your place
they said; "hey buddy boy, you have to love her"
but there's something that's keeping me from feeling like before
that something is a lie, it's a feeling
and all my weight can now be lifted
when you can't find the tolerable aspects
of your fear of the life in the moor
then let the sun come up while you're breathin'
so i could find someone to speak in your place
well maybe i gotta light up this cancer
and speak away all my holes and my faults
to be torn, to be worn, to be sworn in
into the calm depth of your forsaken ocean
when you believe in your last strain of thought
but you still go along with your first
you should let the people come down while you're leavin'
so i could find someone to love in your place
