lyrics

I flew to The Well, which was not there before
Full of dread, I revert to a wrecking ball,
But my wishes never made it down
It spat ‘em up
Maybe it just takes time?
It’s killing me to recognize the value
Makes me wonder,
Would I stay at home if I always got my way?

One day, I’ll look beyond that selflessness buried in me,
And Ima’ taste the manipulation
O’ Ima’ bring the end!
All the cars in my head just can’t drive the road I’ve seen
The disappointment in you’s the disappointment in me

I’ll cut ties
Though, I know we’ve all heard that before
Full of dread, I revert to a wrecking ball
My first thought is, “Should I tear it down?”
-The Big Well, hidden deep within the mind
It’s killing me to recognize the value of that structure
When I cast a wish, and it spits it in my face

One day, I’ll look beyond that selflessness buried in me,
And Ima’ taste the manipulation
O’ Ima’ bring the end!
All the cars in my head just can’t drive the road I’ve seen
The disappointment in you’s the disappointment in me

Take it from me
(‘Cause I regret when I wanted your help—never needed it)
Take everything
(And put it all in a cold, dark place, never let it see sunshine)
Take it all
(‘Cause I regret when I wanted your help—never needed it)
Away
(I’ll put this all in a cold dark place, never let it see sunshine)

One day, I’ll look beyond that selflessness buried in me,
And Ima’ taste the manipulation
O’ Ima’ bring the end!
All the cars in my head just can’t drive the road I’ve seen
The disappointment in you’s the disappointment in me

The Awry Ascent
by Hungry Lights

supported by 46 fans who also own “Lift”

The first album I've listened to from this guy, on his youtube channel. At first I wasn't sure about how I liked it, but Umber Tower sold it to me, and I eventually came to love all of his music. I FINALLY got around to buying all of the albums! Yay! My other favorite has to go to Umber Tower Donald Wilson
