The Birdist - Tempered Lyrics

There's a secret you can never know
Something is wrong and it's hollowed out your bones
There's this thing in your eyes
There's this thing in your soul
You gotta choke the weeds out if you wanna grow
This won't let go
The truth is the loneliest of roads
Swallow hard, that lump in your throat
That change never came so we continued to sow
I'd like to take you with me
But, I've got no power to bring you along
So I waited, you out
Pack up your things it's time to go
It's turning a corner or maybe its not
The motor won't turn over and I'll make it out
This may seem selfish, I've got no other way
To carry any more burden
This is the day when everything had to change
But, don't surrender the levies giving out, oh it's gone
Yeah
It rained
A torrential storm
But you
You weathered it
And you're ready for
More
The waters rose
And the tempest
Stayed
You stood your ground
And still remained
Ah, there must be hope for me.
I'm not dead, just tempered.
