about

This song is a culmination of determination to to trade idleness and control for faith and hope in what is yet to come. It is a prayer of plea to God for Him to help me surrender my pre-conceptions, and hold out for Him to move me closer to the Truth.

lyrics

Breathing, staying
Here in this corner
Keeping these borders

Sleep, sleep, sleep it off

Sheeting, scaping
Everything over
Make it look older
Sweeping, raking
Under the rug
And keeping it tucked

Hold up
You gotta move
You gotta choose
You gotta shake the mold
You gotta hope
You gotta lose
You gotta let it go

Well every now and then I see things clearer
But now and then I forget what's clear
So

Take me, take mine
I need another chance
I need another try
Take me, take mine
I'll give it all I have, leave everything behind
Give me the thunder, I'll make the time
Don't want to give it up, I'm going to make it right
Take me, take mine
Give me the promised land
Give me the other side
Come on

Tweaking, shaping
Every infection
Into “perfection”

Undertaking
Every regret
And letting them win

No no
You gotta move
You gotta choose
You gotta shake the mold
You gotta hope
You gotta lose
You gotta let it go

Well every now and then I see things clearer
But now and then I forget what's clear
So

Take me, take mine
I need another chance
I need another try
Take me, take mine
I'll give it all I have, leave everything behind
Give me the thunder, I'll make the time
Don't want to give it up, I'm going to make it right
Take me, take mine
Give me the promised land
Give me the other side
Come on

I want to hear that thunder
I want to feel that grace
But when I'm going under
All I want to do is hide away

But no

Take me, take mine
I need another chance
I need another try
Take me, take mine
I'll give it all I have, leave everything behind
Give me the thunder, I'll make the time
Don't want give it up, I'm going to make it right
Take me, take mine
Give me the promised land
Give me the other side
Come on

Oh, Come on

Take me, take me, come on
