I crawled out of my grave today
To learn a new battle cry
You can’t be six feet under
And be eight miles high
What’s a soul to do
What’s a fool to say
So for the loving departed
I crawled out of my grave today
I jumped off the ride today
So I could learn to slow down
You can only go so fast
Before you trip and drown
You can keep on running
Or just learn how to stay
So for the love of speed
I jumped off the ride today
I leaned into the sun today
Too long in the dark
Playing with the lights out
Is no way to make a mark
If you play in the shadows
There’s a price to pay
So for the sake of the night
I leaned into the sun today
I crawled out of my grave today
Just to find a new theme
For the saints in the sun
And sinners riding in dreams
That’s all I can do
This is all I can say
So for what it’s worth
I crawled out of my grave today








There’s a tenderness in the way you name the climb back into the light.
Powerfully penned, Brandon. Excellent write with many layers my friend. It’s all about following the light, I can relate. Appreciate you.
