lyrics

I found a mole on my arm yesterday, this looks like The End.
According to my morbid daydream, my most exclusive livestream,
I won’t even try to pretend…
It doesn’t help I’m depressive my nature, and often deceived-
By the worst-case-scenario, the baggage that I carry still,
Stories that I used to believe

Once I went to find the man on the mountain with the keys to it all.
With the shadow riding next to me, I ran the horse into a tree
We tripped and took a mighty fall.
But my horse would not abandon me, she brought me through the night.
And I woke up lying in the sand, the beach where I would understand
The miracle morning light.

Sometimes it’s just too hard for me to smile on a sunny day.
If you listen through the lies, you can hear their lonely cries
But I just want to turn away.
In my prayers you know I hear only silence, but I want to believe.
I’ll remain 10% hopeful, despite all I see.

Wake up my old friend you know you’re sleeping your life away.
What you gonna do, with your precious life today?

The dog wakes up and barks as we’re making the right turn onto County Road “D”.
Cuz he knows where we’re going, where the North Wind’s been blowing
And the loons return in the spring.
And it is here that he will bolt like the lightning, and run between the trees.
That were planted here before us by the birds of the forest
And it is here that he will forever be.

Sometimes it’s just too hard for me to smile on a sunny day.
If you listen through the lies, you can hear their lonely cries
But I just want to turn away.
In my prayers you know I hear only silence, but I want to believe.
I’ll remain 10% hopeful, despite all I see.

Their debut album 10% Hopeful is a genre-defying, modern-day song cycle depicting a journey emerging from a dream, into darkness then back into the light. ... more
