Crossing The Valley


You seem like somebody that I knew long ago
But something's different when I look in your eyes
We've watched it taking over everyone in this town
From a past mostly built upon lies

I remember your voice and it still sounds the same
Except the words you've tried to choke down your throat
Never truly buried like the way you might want them
Every fairy tale gone up in smoke

So can you help me in my darkest days?
We've fallen silent and don't know what to say
Crossing the valley through the strangest of ways

Now blink if you understand
Blink if you understand...

Looking like a puzzle with the pieces intact
But every image isn't quite what it seems
My recall might be hazy with the roles that we played
In a history mostly built on deceit

It creeps like a shadow where each nightmare still roams
Plainly waiting in a place you can find
Invoked so insecurely from the myths we hold dear
No one ever stops to question why

So can you help me in my darkest days?
We've fallen silent and don't know what to say
Crossing the valley through the strangest of ways

Now blink if you understand
Our stars are fading in the promised land

Follow my lead, take a walk through the weeds
Baby tell me what it is you see
Our past can't hold the answers if our memory shifts
But still we're always clinging on to it

So can you help me in my darkest days?
We've fallen silent and don't know what to say
Crossing the valley through the strangest of ways

Now blink if you understand
Nothing's sacred in the promised land
