From These Heights

So lost
My dear
I’ll always find some way to drown
And weigh you down
There’s no one
Out here
I’m searching for
The furthest flight
Away from here
And I’m a stranger
In this country
Where the
City sounds have died
There was a time
When you were a child
And could smile acres wide

But it’s a battle inside
I’ve never felt so far
From something in my life
To fall from these heights

I need somewhere
To settle down
And find my feet
You go from being
So intact
To broken in a blink

I’ll die trying
To pry my way
Inside that
Private mind
But violence
Is all you’ll find
In here
Land mines and
Lightning strikes
Countless riots
Wildfires
This heart wants
To retire
And in their eyes
You seem alright
But that’s a lie

‘Cause it’s a battle inside
I’ve never felt so far
From something in my life
To fall from these heights

I need somewhere
To settle down
And find my feet
You go from being
So intact
To broken in a blink

But it’s a battle inside
I’ve never felt so far
From something in my life
To fall from these heights
But it’s a battle inside
I’ve never felt so far
From something in my life
To fall from these heights

I need somewhere
To settle down
And find my feet
You go from being
So intact
To broken in a blink
