Do you remember when we learned how to
fly? We'd play make-believe
We were young and had time
on our side
You're stuck on the
ground
Got lost, can't be
found.
Just remember that you're still
alive.
So they picked up their armor, and they went to
do battle,
with all of their demons and all their monsters of past
lives,
And they don't run from this, like they did when they were
kids,
Because
to not have some battle scars is to never have
lived.
Holy Bejebuz. How did I not know this was coming out? Listening
to it for the first time right now, fighting back tears. Just
listen to these lyrics from the intro:
"This is a call to arms for the poets that are inside of us.
This is shedding our skin, and breaking the chains that are
binding us."
"This is the war raging inside of me when I told you all
that I was fine. You taught me never underestimate the power of
ten thousand hearts that are beating in time."
"Cause there’s mercy in the verse,
a story in the chorus,
a bridge to get over the sea of doubt before us."
"It’s all not perfect. We need music to save us;
spinning the soundtrack to our beautiful chaos. Imperfect
existence: just grab it and own it and I swear to God
you’ll have it all in that moment."
"So take every picture of your perfect life…
You can splatter it with color and the paint will dry...
You can throw it in the air and you can watch it fly...
Just for one last time squeeze it very, very tight…
And let it go."
Go buy it, Best 5 doallars
you will ever spend. :)
