lyrics

Inhale hope
Swim for the sky
Against that under tow
Don’t pass this by
Or let the feeling fly
When it’s time you’ll know

Stop to think and you’ll start to sink
We could turn the tide today
Paddle through the Cypress Trees
As evening slips away

Stop putting out that spark
Let it lead you through the dark
Breathe it in like you did before
And you won’t fear the bottom anymore

Exhale smoke
Grin at the wind
Though it’s biting bitter cold
The lines I trace
Across your face
Tell the stories
You withhold

You’ve been torn
Patched and worn
Searching all your life
There’s light ahead
Like the old man said
Let the shadows have the night

Stop putting out that spark
Let it lead you through the dark
Breathe it in like you did before
And you won’t fear the bottom anymore

You won’t fear the bottom
When you rise above the past that pulled you in
And you’ll only see beauty looking back
Not the ways it might have been
