Cannonball
6'10 Lyrics

Everyday the song we sung, everyone now a tattered son
We used to be hopeful and unified, but now we're all broken and lost

Eyes black I'm short on breath, lost hope and I'm warn to death
I'm exhausted and hopeless, with nothing left to give

carry on the dear old message, walk away from love invested
Keep moving forward with what you know, even if it means leaving love behind

get help we all screamed, as we run from this broken dream
We knew we needed help, but we were too scared to face our failures and ran away instead

Ramparts have all been busted, shrapnel of the love we trusted
The defenses of our love have been destroyed, leaving us with painful fragments

Let fear dictate your truth, a poison of a hundred proof
When you let fear rule your life, it poisons everything you believe in

Gulp it down how sweet the sound, a solum oat has hit the ground
We were promised something sweet, but in reality, it's a heavy burden to bear

Shinny eyes are growing pale, thought this love too big to fail
Our hope in our love is fading, despite thinking it was unbreakable

We don't write we don't call, unless delivered with a cannonball
We avoid confrontation and communication, except when forced to by a significant event

though the storms be in our lives, we set sail today to catch this lie
Even though there's a lot of hardship, we're determined to expose the deceit we've been living with

Talk this way cause its how i'm feeling, climbing out of this shattered celling
I'm speaking my mind because I need to, even if it's uncomfortable, in order to move past my brokenness

We can love but when its tested, give up all hope invested
We can love someone, but when that love is challenged, it's easy to lose all faith in it

Bitterness how weak your fruit, to make wine with the lies of youth
Holding onto bitterness is unproductive, especially when it's rooted in lies from the past

We can live without counting the cost, until we suffer loss
We can take our life for granted, until something important is taken away, prompting us to reassess our priorities

Every lie we dream, too our friends we scream, taring down the love we hoped in
We put our trust in falsehoods, and when they're exposed, we lash out and damage the love that once sustained us

Plant the joyful seed, pull up the bitter weed, a dab of faith can move a mountain
We can plant positivity in our lives and eliminate toxic thoughts and behaviors, and even a small amount of faith can have a big impact

What's been lost won't be forgotten
Even though we've experienced pain and loss, we won't forget what we've learned from those experiences
