The Ascent

You know
It is your right to go
And build a home
And I believe
That you deserve to leave
On your own
It's a slow trek to the top of this mountain
The only thing I've lost are the blessings I'm counting
Along with everything I once knew
We're helpless and see it through
And sometimes you break down
To cover it up
And I'm safe
And I'm sound
It's never enough
We keep living this way
And it consumes me with hate
Holy fuck, I think we're too late
As my future dissolves before my very own two eyes,
Surprise, surprise
I'd be better off sleeping with wolves
Tonight
On the dark of the cold forest floor
Tonight
The dread stacks when your comfort is under attack
Never really letting yourself get back to
The place inside that inspired truth
So you push and you pull
But we are only losing youth
Harkening back to shit that wasn't that great
We could still save ourselves
If it isn't too late
Yeah, maybe we could try
An honest push before we die
To write the wrongs of who we are
These are great lengths to travel far
Yeah, maybe we could try
An honest push before we die
To write the wrongs of who we are
To sing the songs of battle scars
I'd be better off sleeping with wolves
Tonight
On the dark of the cold forest floor
Tonight
I'm fucked up right down to my bare core tonight
And it's the memory that haunts me
And it's the inaction that taunts me
Take your pills with food as needed per day
This is something that is never going away
And this recourse kills remorse
But it feels like a chore
I see the golden light
It keeps me up at night, but
Not worth saving it
So I'm erasing it
We'll never stop chasing it
We'll die in eternal bliss
I'd be better off sleeping with wolves
Tonight
On the dark of the cold forest floor
Tonight
We could die any second
But now is our time
Not promised tomorrow
And so we climb
