lyrics

Crowds are marching toward the sky
On 16th street they sing their plights
“The mountains are looking fine tonight”
You say to yourself as you miss your flight
Do you remember the last time
You looked to the west and knew you were home
Now you look from the outside
Sentiment rendering you blind

Did you ever think about the
Constant beauty that surrounds you
Did you ever take for granted
All of these things that were right outside your door

The moment comes, the good times end
You stand among your unknown friends
You shout to power demanding change
Knowing they’ll never change their ways
You don’t know how to use your voice
But know that you have to make a choice
When you were young you never knew
All of the damage you could do

Did you ever think about the
Crimes committed all around you
You can’t stand to live here now
But maybe you’re stuck here despite this awful town

You couldn’t look behind the damage that was done
A trail of hate you left for all of us to run
And now you’re old enough to resent this bitter town
You grit your teeth at work, you never thought we’d ever let you

Drown in the sea of I.D.
Get lost in the new memories
This growth takes a year out of me
(Don’t forget)
Nobody knows who they are

You’re one year older now, you’re smarter than before
There’s a path you can take will you open up the door?
But on your way from home you hear the sirens ring
The indecisiveness is never ending never ending

Drown in the sea of I.D.
Get drunk on the new memories
This growth takes a year out of me
(Don’t forget)
Nobody knows who they are

Close your eyes, miss a year
Hide behind all your fears
Turn your head, break your neck
Miss the present you’ll forget

They woke you up from your childhood fantasies
You tried to crawl back in and set yourself free

You can still choose to look away
And ignore the change
The world is spinning faster now
The old can no longer stay

Scraping at that old road again
Trying to leave this town
Maybe this time won’t be the same
Look up now you’re almost home
-
Took a trip to Eden last november
Wasn’t sure what I would find
But even though I travelled west of Denver
I couldn’t help but feel the same

Suddenly I felt a little stronger
Felt that I could face my fears
It’s not the city that creates the power
It’s your choices through the years

Wind still blows
Snow still falls
Through it all
We still grow

I wish there was a way
To go back
Relive my dreams
Change the things I regret

I heard you couldn’t stay
You had to move on
Chase some scene
“Follow the sound”

But I just couldn’t leave
This place is my home
Unpacked my bags
Settled in for the night

I guess we’ll say goodbye
We’ll go our separate ways
Mind at home
Body across the sea

You woke up this morning and couldn’t tell why
You felt so empty inside
The world that you long ago thought you knew
Tore itself up from the outside

And now it’s all but a shell of itself
And you never could get past it
And you try to deny it but that doesn’t change
The death of a life fantastic

And yet we still have miles to go
But I am never leaving my home
Through the mounds
Through the snow
Feel you everywhere I go
You’ll never believe how much we’ve grown

And yet we still have miles to go
But I am never leaving my home
Feel your soul
Feel your dreams
Through this faith I finally see
And yet we still have miles to go

Spring 2013 - Winter 2020. Denver, Colorado
