lyrics

FERTILE GROUND

When we were young we jumped in head first
Never knew the depths, never feared the worst
As the years went by you learned about pain
Dulled the senses life down the drain

Instead of standing up, you doubled down
Can't dig your way out from the underground
I had to walk away to take some time
But I never meant to leave you behind

CH: Stand out from the crowd
Fists up and singing loud
We built this world just to tear it down
Rock bottom is fertile ground

Now the nights are long and the skies are grey
We sit and dwell on mistakes we've made
But the seasons change and the clouds will break
If there's a future it's ours to take

I'm scared you're drowning but I can't jump in
Whenever I do you drag me under again
So embrace the light, embrace the dark
And put some hope back in this rebel's heart

BR: I had to walk away
Face my demons and win the day
I knew one day it would call me home
Now I know I'll never walk alone
