lyrics

I pledge allegiance to my hands
Raising castles from the sand
Build it up, fight the tide
Just to watch it fall

So I try and try again
Just to show myself I can
But the waves aren’t phased
By my resolve

The foundations caving in
These walls are wearing thin
And I can’t stand to watch it fall apart

In the fight of sea and shore
It seems that I have lost the war
And a sigh of hallelujah leaves my lungs

As I thank God
That I’m not

So I’m back where I began
An even shore and empty hands
When will I take a hint
From my failed attempts

I see that I’m the foolish man
Forgot the rock and chose the sand
I realize that my pride
Was my last defense

And I can hear the siren song
Calling me to sing along
But then I hear your voice inside the wind

In the fight of sea and shore
I'm finally laying down my sword
And a sigh of hallelujah leaves my lungs

As I thank God
That I’m not

The Timbre of Cedar Detroit, Michigan

Though its name evokes images of a land with towering trees, winding rivers, and vast lakes, The Timbre of Cedar is rooted in the urban forest of Metro Detroit. Cutting through the peripheral noise of sonic and existential monotony, the five-piece musical collective crafts a refreshing brand of anthemic indie-rock, inspired and instilled with a transparency of the soul and a yearning for grace. ... more
