LYRICS:
Deeper into the fold, I’ve lost myself again
As I start to let go, something pulls me back in

It’s funny how we change
Those promises to stay the same
Were made so carelessly
Mistakes that we should not repeat

Everything you love’s in atrophy
Withering away so tragically
Is this what you want?
Tracing back your thoughts
To find out that spark is gone

Deeper into the fold, I’ve lost myself again
As I start to let go, something pulls me back in
Staring into the sky, longing for what I lost
Time spent wondering why leads to nothing at all

Searching for ourselves, there is a fog
That will block out everyone, the sun, and the stars
A vision so impaired, it never clears
We’ve forgotten who we are
So far away from the water
So tell me why I’m still drowning

Somewhere in our hearts,
There’s a fire, light the dark
Will it last forever, or burn out?
In the summer, we depart
Wage our wars of the arts
It feels like forever, til it ends
But it will start again
Swore that I would never
Lose myself just to play the part

Remember all the reasons
That brought you to this place
The shifting of the seasons
Could never change my ways
We carry all our burdens
High up above our heads
We have become a part of all that we have ever met
If you erase the struggle
And take away the pain
There would be nothing left

Deeper into the fold, I’ve found myself again
As I start to take hold, now I see what lies ahead
Staring into the sky, cherishing what I’ve found
Time spent dreaming has made me everything that I am
