Orchid

(album: Drift - 2016)

As our world oscillates to shake the weak remains, show your strength. Resist all temptation to follow illusions expressed with safety. Open up your wings, and fly to sanctuary. Trying to dislocate from talk and scoff that shows them what they are. Murderous words might as well been sent by a bullet. Keep your eyes closed and your fingers crossed. 'Til our paths meet, I'll try to lead the way.

As our world oscillates to shake the weak remains, show your strength.
Resist all temptation to follow illusions expressed with safety.
Open up your wings, and fly to sanctuary.
Trying to dislocate from talk and scoff that shows them what they are.
Murderous words might as well been sent by a bullet
Keep your eyes closed, and your fingers crossed.
Till our paths meet, I'll try to lead the way.

Take me back to who I was back then
I'll show you what life means to me again
I'll lift the weight, so you don't have to fall.

Brother, when every muscle strains
I will lift the weight for you
Sister, if you just call my name, I will lift the weight for you
You can't find the strength, your eyes loose resistance, I will lift the weight for you.

I wasn't there for the darkest of hallways, the longest of paths.
A crazy train going off the tracks.
Catch my fall when the earth shakes..catch my fall when the earth shakes..

Take me back to who I was back then
An honest man and a faithful friend.
I'll show you what life means to me again.
Maybe in due time, you'll let me in.

Take me back to who I was back then
An honest man and a faithful friend
I'll show you what life means to me again.
Maybe in due time, you'll let me in.

'Cause there is so much left to amend

Brother, when every muscle strains, I will lift the weight for you.
Sister, if you just call my name, I will lift the weight for you.
You can't find the strength, your eyes lose resistance, I will lift the weight for you.
I know that we've changed, but this remains consistent, I will lift the weight for you.

We pick at the scab. It bleeds and it bleeds. Extending the healing to keep us contained.
A week doppelganger, the bastard one. I'll leave you behind and continue on.
