about

What can we do in the midst of all this rubble, if not dust ourselves off?

lyrics

As long as I get out of this town

It’s a miracle that we made it out alive
With the chaos and mayhem, no one could survive
Though we drank all the water, the taste lingers inside
Can’t wash out the ashes
Can’t unsee the flashes

Do you remember when we talked about the night before?
That seems like a lifetime ago, didn’t know what was in store
Now we sit here in fire and dust, the sight of open war
We have past the collision
We must make a decision

I chose to race ahead
But the weight holds me down
So I will crawl instead
As long as I get out of this town

These shackles aren’t real
The weight that I feel
Is all in the mind
But still, it’s entwined
Let me out!

I can’t force you to join me when I go
If this burden’s too heavy, you can let me know
Now the moon shines brightly, and the stars are all a glow
I will leave before morning
There’ll be no second warning

I chose to race ahead
But the weight holds me down
So I will crawl instead
As long as I get out of this town
