lyrics

Verse 1:
I hear an ancient call
Something I buried long ago
A primal urge is bubbling up
From the bloody depths of yesterday's heart

Pre:
I eavesdrop for a spell
On someone I used to know well

Chorus:
Am I hung up on another time?
Am I pining for a louder life?
Am I chasing after an echo?
Maybe I will never let go.

Verse 2:
I’ve been mellowing
Pouring water on the fire within
Kick down the dam, unleash the flood
Whatever you send won’t be enough

Pre:
A flame the burns through a flood
An iridescent burst

Verse 3:
I can't deny the simple truth
I don't recall the taste of the morning dew
But I won't let my tongue slide down my throat before I've sung.

Pre:
Step back into the din
Where a part of me has always been
