about

One of the most personal songs I've ever written, to the point of occasionally being difficult to perform. (It's also at the tippy top edge of my vocal range, so it's difficult in that way too. :p )

lyrics

It's over.
Over now.
Body Remembers.
Mind's just not sure how.
She got here, or where here is?
In the moment, embraced by silence.
'Cause all she knows is what she feels, and she feels like she's been blinded.
When everything becomes this real, a little silence isn't minded.

Well, maybe I was right; maybe we're designed to live through change.
And if I make it through tonight, maybe we can find some way to change

Everything is not all right - but it will be.
I will hold on to this light if it kills me
Because if monsters exist, then heroes can too
The chances you missed, I can make for you
The moment is now, awake and alive
Even if all we do
Is survive

It's over
All of us
In the memories - kids who used to trust
These broken fragments of a reflection
Kids who used to love
And I don't want for them to take
Any more than they've already thieved
If you can make a hell on earth
I can climb aboard my rocketship and leave

Well nothing's that simple. I suppose that nothing ever is
But I am not shackled; I can teach my damn self how to live

Everything is not all right - but it will be.
I will hold on to this light if it kills me
Because if monsters exist, then heroes can too
The chances you missed, I can make for you
The moment is now, awake and alive
Even if all we do
Is survive

Maybe I was right? Maybe we're designed to live through pain.
But we gon' make it through tonight
Tell me: does that sound all so strange?

Everything is not all right - but it will be.
I will hold on to this light if it kills me
Because if monsters exist, then heroes can too
The chances they stole, I'll remake for you
The moment is now, awake and alive
Even if all we do
I know what we do
Tell me what you do:

We Thrive
