Till We Make Our Ascent Lyrics

Stay here, stay in the moment
Where the blooming of spring never ends
Let's go down by the willow tree
Roll with the hills till we make our ascentAll I imagined is all that I see
Gardens of flowers and warm summer breeze
There's a place where no trouble is seen
Everything's perfect but it's all just a dream
That I have when I sleep through winter that never endsOpen, open your eyes to
A world of all that can sadden your heart
Color absent from all I see
Skies are gray and the streetlights are darkLost in a sea of sad faces and hearts who claim
Eye for eye, tooth for tooth with words far beyond reproof
Still I remain unconvincedAll these years, hoped and we've dreamed
For a final escape but to no avail
All I hear the infinite buzzing of vanity's lips
Forming words for the eager in earThere's a man reciting the words of his God
In a room full of pliable hearts
And each word, teaming with fire

Consumes any reason that's lingering nearEvery word will precede a great cheer
To affirm that the problem could never lie here
And on goes the shifting of blameAll these years we've hoped and we've dreamed
For a final escape but to no avail
All I hear the infinite buzzing of vanity's lips
Forming words for the eager in earWhat I wouldn't give to go back to that place
Just to feel the warmth of the sun shining down on my face
The smell of young roses in bloom
I'd gladly spend the rest of my days in that afternoonI can't bear to look at another sad face
In this town riddled with fear
Close your eyes, we'll make our escape
Shake the dust off your feet, dry the last of your bitter tears
