Lyrics
Many years since I left
Choices do I regret?
What did I know?
Hostage to a poor decision
A syzygetic crown
Crawling out from dust and shadows
Will I make it out?
I’m standing up (repeated)
Up against the crashing of our waves
Will it be enough?
Hey there family, and so-called friends
Smiles, was it all pretend?
Should I die?
Not before I board this train
For the life that I lost
Check my baggage lift them bridges
Face the pain that it cost
I’m standing up (repeated)
Up against the crashing of our waves
Will it be enough?
Close my eyes tonight
Lean back into my dreams
Will I see?
Across the fires of our desires
In the beating of the sun
Past the tower of all this power and the shame of what we’ve done
I’m standing up (repeated)
Up against the crashing of our waves
Will it be enough? (repeated)
I’m standing up (repeated)
