Chase the Sun
Chasing Shadows: Confronting Inner Demons
Lyrics
See the river's down
Observation of low water levels in the river
Birds fly from this ground
Birds are leaving this place
That we've run dry
Acknowledging that resources have been exhausted
I combed the land
Traveling across the land
I shaped the dirt
Working the soil
I build my house on broken earth
Building a home on damaged ground
No rock under my feet
Lack of stability or foundation
I keep watch as I breathe
Remaining vigilant while facing difficulties
The weight of the heat
Feeling the burden of intense heat
Can't shake this evil from me
Struggling to rid oneself of negativity or darkness
We never rest
Continuous movement, no time for rest
We chase the sun
Always pursuing something beyond reach
I think I see what we're trying to outrun
Realizing what is being attempted to escape from
A shapeless fear
Undefined but looming fear
We live inside
Living within this undefined fear
We move, we love without lifting our eyes
Continuing life and relationships without facing reality
No rock under my feet
Reiteration of lacking solid ground
I keep watch as I breathe
Remaining vigilant in the midst of uncertainty
The weight of the heat
Struggling under the weight of oppressive conditions
Can't shake this evil from me
Difficulty in escaping darkness or negativity
All these chimes
Repetition emphasizing the call to action
All these chimes
-All these chimes
-Call me to rise
Summoned to rise or respond to the call
