Fortitude

from Demo by Cedar Kites

lyrics

The same thing always makes you think you're empty
The places that we come from always make us feel alone
The clock up on my dresser makes me think about my father
He has time time, but doesn't keep it well
Now I think it's in our blood.

I don't believe in anything, just a place to lay my head.
I don't believe in anything, just that next stop to rest my weary legs.

Patience is a virtue to live by
But these cloudy days have me questioning
Is it fortitude or are we waiting for nothing?
I've got to keep moving
I've got to keep moving

I don't believe in anything, just a place to lay my head.
I don't believe in anything, just that next stop to rest my weary legs.

Head first all the down
I lost my footing on this wet ground
And lately it's been too safe to say
That all I wanted was a safe place to lay
Head first all the down
I lost my footing on this wet ground
And lately it's been too safe to say
That all I wanted was a safe place to lay
That all I wanted was a safe place to lay

Nothing is listening
I believe in me
But I can only write Exhaustion for so long before I lose my belief

Head first all the down
I lost my footing on this wet ground
And lately it's been too safe to say
That all I wanted was a safe place to lay
