On the Shoulders of Giants Lyrics by With Abandon

Keepsakes

0

I'm digging up my old things
As I replay each memory
They skip on scratched CDs
I hum along and repeat the lines that helped me to believe
I deserve more than this
This tired, nowhere town insists on haunting me
So I escape into each melody
I needed someone to see in me every piece that I
Couldn't see inside myself
So I crafted a history
Revised and glorified the pain that I had felt
When I finally focused in on where I began
I hardly recognized the man that I had built
So I buried him in guilt to suffocate
I'm digging up the old me brought to life each time I sing
I lost myself in chasing idols I'd kill myself to be
Remembered for anything
I'd sacrifice it all
For just a moment
On the shoulders of the giants I longed to be
So, this is me risking everything
I can't explain all the ways
You move me with your words
And I've been restless since you got me up, got me out again
I can't find a thing to say
I'm tongue tied, lost for words
Yeah, I've been speechless since you got me up, got me out again
There is still so much I've left unsaid
Lose my voice inside the crowd afraid if I don't stand out
Then I'll just fade away
Cast a shadow across the stage and yet I still remain
In the dark to this day
Trade it all to hear you now screaming out from the crowd
Yeah, they're calling your name
