lyrics

Hey there young man, where’s your ambition gone?
The shine has left your eyes just like your friends from back home
So much you dreamt up and dealt with has died or been left behind
So take heart from this and eradicate past from conscience
We’ll drown your sorrow in the light of our hearts
Sketches on notebooks drawn in present and future tense
The pages may yellow and fold and burn
But memories stay with us anyway
You’re just like your old friends once full of hope and control
But the easy things for you were hard for them, can’t drive, no life
Are you who you are, or are you who you were?
Have we really changed that much? Aren’t we really just mimicking real life?
Sketches on notebooks drawn in present and future tense
The pages may yellow and fold and burn
But memories stay with us anyway
Frozen like life beneath the ice, some sit in hibernation
Only to wake in better times, and make for curious conversation
I’ll ride like Isaac through the sea to your ship that’s sinking, being torn apart over the reef
I’ll save every single one of you I swear and bring you safely back to feel the sand beneath your feet
I’ll light a fire on the coast big enough to keep you all warm, and watch over you while you sleep
You are my family, just please don’t leave
I’ll build a tower with my own bones, high above the storms and the cold white snow
I’ll catch your food with my own teeth, warm your soul and relieve your grief
You are my whole life, without you I can’t breathe
You are my family, just please don’t leave
