Ancient Gods

(album: If There Is Light, It Will Find You - 2018)

I used to be afraid to sleep out underneath the stars
But now I embrace the loneliness of ancient Gods
Lord knows I know what it's like to lack a purpose
I've waited everyday hoping for a moment

Everyone I love is always far away from me
(Can't you see)
Everyone I love is always far away from me

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive
Goddamn the oceans that spread between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I better runaway if I want to survive

I used to be afraid to walk alone out in the dark
Now I embrace the emptiness that's in my heart
Heaven knows I'm waiting for death to come and take me
I'd rather be with you than alone with those who made me

Everyone I love is always far away from me
(Can't you see)
Everyone I love is always far away from me

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive
Goddamn the oceans that spread between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I better runaway if I want to survive

I don't need anyone to tell me
You're the only thing I have left
Everyone in my life has faded
Please tell me this isn't it
Everyone in my life has left me
Everyday is another test
To see if I can take this stress
Without it driving me to drink

Because I'd rather find another way

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive
Goddamn the oceans that spread between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I better runaway if I want to survive

I fell into your arms and I fell into your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never going to make it out of here alive
