Centuries Of Guns

from Places You've Been by Chris Ho

/

lyrics

they say the time is here to focus on the things that brought you hope, brought you fear, brought you to this point, you're standing in the clear, sky's reflection painted on your window

and if we share a light, speak your mind and help me see the good outside, tell me how we came to this and I will try to see it was the only way for our trials to run, centuries of guns, I thought it was all done but it's just begun, and I've run my run, but there's miles and miles to go

until the past comes back and it's on our minds, weighing down our shoulders 'til we can't be blind, and we see what's right but we can't make up our minds

and I thought I held the world inside of my head,
thought I held the world inside my head,
but at the break of morning it was you there,
lifted from the shadows of these dark years.

and I'm not who I was, but if I find the strength I'll see it's just because there's sides of us we'd rather see but they are lost in the moments we continue to grow

so if you find the time, would you write to me with a pen in paper like in the movies and help me believe there is still something in me you see?

and I will write you back with a new breakthrough, speak as though I am not still in love with you, although you'll know that's true, and you know it's true

that I thought I held the world inside of my head,
thought I held the world inside of my head,
but at the break of morning it was you there,
lifted from the shadows of these dark years

lifted from the shadows
