lyrics

Belonged and Unending
The path that leads to sea
It requires you to leave your life
Deaths Humanity

For the kind that glistens
Unthinkable to me
When blessings surround you
and Ashes to Breathe
When blessings surround you
and Ashes to Breathe

Breathe

Content and Velvet
Pushed you to the crowd
To the kind that listens
Ancient Trees and Flowers

What once was a curse
Now is paradise

And scorched earth remains
That's what we found

That's what we found
That's what we found
