Groundwork 03:09
If the sun burned down your pathetic little card house would you just build it back up without a second thought of the skies above? Start somewhere new Give yourself something to build on Give yourself a chance If the rivers rose To flood your home Would you just dry it right out and never consider moving to higher ground? If a land slide buried you And everything you owned Would you already have arranged For your family To mark your home as your grave? Your life is a house you build with what you've learned To protect you. To keep you safe from the world. But you're picking up the pieces from every failed design And forgetting them deep in The back of your mind. Your mistakes lay the groundwork It's up to you to build and improve.

Anchors 04:04
We've moved through These past few years With anchors on our feet And the sidewalks have been worn down by the soles of our shoes. Like tires do to the downtown streets When it rains those ruts fill to the brim and these anchors drag us under, They drag us up to our necks and still we move. I shouldn't have to feel fixed here like the trees I climbed in years I've left so far behind. With my roots dug deep against my will My limbs sway in the wind Reaching For a shovel to dig myself out of the ground. To fall and be free, or decompose Both are a means of escape Like wolf in a trap I think I'd rather bite off my leg then die in this place It's like my life is a glass house I can see the way out but I'm locked inside and there not a single stone to be found. Beating my oars against this current, well I might as well be beating a dead horse. Cause I'm getting I'm getting no where I haven't been before. I can't be the only one. I guess I'm the only one So many parts of me are dead now. That what growing up Must be about. So many parts of me died long ago.

We all are rafts and I guess we can't change that part. But maybe we can find some ropes to connect ourselves so we don't all drift apart. And I like to hope that maybe well see enough ropes and rafts that wanna stick around. We can all be connected out on the sea and start up our own little raft town. And let's not worry about wind and waves they're both something we can bear, because there's strength in numbers and waves would be lucky to come in pairs. As for the wind, well it can blow us wherever As long as we keep a keen on these ropes we're together. WE ALL ARE RAFTS and our words can make ropes So let's tie off to our hearts and keep this town afloat and float off. Lets seek refuge in more rafts and the people they are We can grow stronger and Find new places to go We can get smarter and think up ways to make sails and nets Not just ropes, because drifting is fine it keeps us alive but i think we'd all rather EXPERIENCE Life not just float. And There safety in nets Like there's safety in numbers As we grow we can spread out And we can all be each others we all are something And that's nothing new. But I hold in my heart that I and all of you can be more than just billions of wooden islands drifting alone in infinite blue. WE ALL ARE SINKING AND WE HAVE BEEN FOR YEARS BUT IT'S NOT TO LATE TO CHANGE THAT IF WE CAN MOVE PAST OUR FEAR OF EACHOTHER WE ALL ARE DROWNING RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER WHEN OUR SURFACE AREA TOGETHER COULD OVERCOME THE WEIGHT ON OUR SHOULDERS. If you carry mine then I'll carry yours We can move any direction we want as long as it's forward. Because humanity has hope If we are all just rafts and rope Humanity has oceans of hope If all we are is just rafts and rope.
