ACRES LYRICS

1. Overburden

I am your son
Silent for too long
Scared of what I've become
And knowing I'm not involved
It's all been too much
Now it's getting so hard to breathe
I let you take everything
But I will rebuild
Atop your shattered bones

I must be strong
Endeavor to carry on
Find purpose to right your wrongs
Get back to where I belong
But it's all come undone

And you want me to hurt like you
Your attempts have failed
I will see this through
And everything has come to be
The choices you make
Are for eternity

2. The Etesian Wind

Here I stand empty handed
With a view up high of everything
Never knowing where I came from
Or where I've been
A flash of light you're lost to me

Leave me in pieces with nothing for thought
But the hearts of better men
Leave me here and I'll just try to start again

I am not the one you want
What you been searching for lies in your heart
I am not the one you want
All your promises will fall apart

Because your faith is just a front
Your faith is just a front
I wish that you'd see the truth
But the truth is that you can't
That your faith is just a front

Don't you try and turn away
Don't you dare forget my name

Here we stand empty handed
With a view up high of everything
Never knowing where we came from
Or where we've been
A flash of light and your lost to me

3. Peninsula

We don't see things the same way anymore
Anymore
We don't see things the same way anymore
Anymore

Now I had faith in you
And faith is everything
I had no need for angels
I need no choir to sing

So wrap me up in secrets
And keep them like a curse
I know you tried so hard
But you only made it worse

We don't see things the same way anymore
Anymore
We don't see things the same way anymore
Anymore

4. Distant Hills

If this is what it feels like under my skin
Then I will take your heart again
My dreams have died so very often
But not this time, not this time
I swear I will never ask you again
If you'd only take my hand
When you're a child and you're looking for someone
To fall in love, and fall apart

Don't

Don't go..
Don't go..
Please don't go..
Don't go..
Don't go..
