Resolve: Noble Aim Goes On and On

The final installation of the Yearbook EP has been released! Lyrics below:

Noble Aim
Chances are we are the same
Against the odds, against the grain
We lean like gardends toward light
But we wait like evening for night
Don't we?

Chances are we are alike
Against what better judgement writes
We ache like children for love
For a purpose worthy of
Such a noble aim
Such a noble aim
Such a noble aim as love

Chances are we bruise the same
A family tree desperate for rain
A thirst only deserts know best
A hurt so at home in our chests
Call it stubbornness or bravery
To let our branches continue to reach
With such a noble aim
With such a noble aim
With such a noble aim as love

Every broken branch and loosened leaf
That we've grown to ignore
Is now part of something greater than before
Every nest that rests upon our limbs
Seeking shelter from the storms
Is a purpose worth being broken for

Chances are we are the same
Against all odds against the grain
We lean like gardes toward light
We reach with all of our might
For such a noble aim as love


Goes On and On
Every day you wake
Evermore aware
Than you ever were before
The smallest sound
Is ringing in your ears
Like a grand piano
Slowly falling down a million stairs
But the sound it makes
Are the growing pains of repair

And it goes on and on
It goes on and on

'Til the day you wake up
Miles from here
Where all of a sudden
Dissonance disappears

And like a wrecking ball in reverse
Every wrong will be made right
What was adamant, even permanent
Will have a change of heart and mind
In your disbelief you'll clear your eyes
As if you're seeing light
For the very first time

It goes on and on
It goes on and on


Resolve
Generations wait
Like the river sways
For a father's blood
For a mother's love

Though not the promised land
Nor any perfect plan
Along our neutral path
There was a single lowered branch

What was flawless canvass-white
What was kindness in our eyes
Is now a blemished masterpiece
An astigmatism life
But let's cut right to the chase
To when the best of us was on display

Before we tipped the scale from confidence to doubt
I would hold you now if only I knew how

Concentration breaks
Under frivolous weight
If the right words exist
May they find our lips

Let's stay the course
And let the tension make us new
I don't know if it's virtue
I don't know if it's just dumb luck
Would it matter if it was?
What if we welcomed change in
Or opened up just enough
To let it begin

The doors will open wide for you
It was said just like it was the truth
If we walk right through

Poison and Wine

Haven't posted in a while. Current favorite song is "Poison and Wine" by The Civil Wars.

Apartment life is good. I pretty much love it actually. My heart still resides in St. Louis.

To end this very short blog entry, I pose a question: If Christ is the greatest thing we have in common, why is it He rarely comes up in conversation?

Me off.
