Testo Grounded

Testo Grounded

(feat. Johnny Cash)

Once I got off the ground
I had the head to look arounda
And find out where you are
Stumbled by a hurricane
The rescue teams in town
Ain't nuthin' but bad surprises
Ain't nuthin' but blank horizons
Ain't nuthin' but rippin' at holes inside my skin
Ain't searchin' for fixes that leak me out
Ain't hopin' to keep me copin' out
Ain't looking to leave you hangin' out in the past

All around I see wreckage and watch them scavenge
All around I hold my ground and let waves scatter

Hold out for all you might've lost
Hold out for all you might've been
Hold out for hope and I swear it'll pull you in

Here I stand with my heart raw
By will I shoved through that closed door
To find out where you are.
Wish I had a world or wonder to show you what's in store
Ain't nuthin' but shards of promise
Ain't nuthin' but truth to harm us
Ain't nuthin' but backs still turned from hands we kicked
Ain't nuthin' but our hearts still beating
Ain't it funny how dreams are fleeting
but in the shallows I can see remains.

All around I see wreckage and watch them scavenge
All around I hold my ground and let waves scatter

Hold out for all you might've lost
Hold out for all you might've been
Hold out for hope and I swear it'll pull you in.
