Album: Life Lessons (2016)

Alchemist

Even when the leaves began to fall
Still it was too warm to sleep at night
She was finding treasure in the streets
Pockets full of gemstones throwing light
And I just can't help but clench my fists
As she running around the corner out of sight
And how can I deny her this
When her life is an immaculate delight

I battle myself
But it's a fight worth having lose or win
I battle myself
But she turns her face into the wind

Wandering in the palace on the shore
It's easy to imagine we were kings
I know you felt the hunger in the deep
But she showed little feared for senseless things
And I just can't help but clench my fists
As the day surrenders to the night
And how can I deny her this
When her life is a miraculous delight

I battle myself
But it's a fight worth having lose or win
I battle myself
She turns her face into the wind

Let's try and make different mistakes from the ones our fathers made
We should try and make different mistakes from the ones our mothers made
So we can look her in the eye
In a distant future time

I battle myself
But it's a fight worth having lose or win
I battle myself
But she turns her face into the wind
I battle myself
But it's a fight worth having lose or win
I battle myself
But she turns her face into the wind

Let's try and make different mistakes from the ones our fathers made
We should try and make different mistakes from the ones our mothers made
So we can look her in the eye
In a distant future time
In a distant future time
