lyrics

Enter the hive of the system, the sting operation way
My wish is loosely folded
This is the mind of a small man who’s tired of day-to-day
My wish is loosely folded

Undermined and undecided and voiceless
‘Cause I don’t really care for crowds
But here I am, standing with the sun in my eyes,
Pondering why I played this out

With visitation hours so slim,
Here you are, hoping to catch a glimpse of some talent
Maybe your boy isn’t obsolete after all…
At any second Ima’ skyscrape them’ clouds!
Can you imagine making contact?
I’ve never felt so close…
So, I reach

I missed it—eagle eyes, out
Full swing—came and went down
I missed it—eagle eyes, out

For a sec, had the whole world in my pocket
Then, I dropped it
There goes the win
Who woulda’ thought this?
Oh, my god...
The bliss in my once ignorant mind subsides
Do I change, or can trash be divine?
Like a trojan horse in my own fortress,
I’m worthless
There goes the win and your support, man
Oh, my god…
The bliss in my once ignorant mind, it subsides

With visitation hours so slim,
Here you are, hoping to catch a glimpse of some talent
Maybe your boy isn’t obsolete after all…

But what do you say when crushed dreams are your fault?
Do you tell them, “That’s just the way it is”?

I missed it—eagle eyes, out
Full swing—came and went down
I missed it—eagle eyes, out

These crushed dreams are my fault,
But what do you say?
These crushed dreams are my fault,
And I will never live it down

There’s no room for the ghosts inside me,
But I just can’t make them leave
And I’m afraid of the mess they create,
Cause’ it’s evolving in spite of my efforts to quench its thirst
I should jump off the roof, head first
My wish is loosely folded
I’m pondering why I would play this one out

I missed it—eagle eyes, out
Full swing—came and went down
I missed it—eagle eyes, out
People will always remember I could not fly

But what do you say when crushed dreams are your fault?
No, I could not fly

The Awry Ascent
by Hungry Lights

supported by 46 fans who also own “Reach”

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
