lyrics

I can feel my discontent
Like a lion in my chest
As it threatens to devour
Every dream that I have left
I can see the chains of fear
As I’m staring in the mirror
And I’m tired of pretending
They’re the reason that I’m here

I’ve tried to place the blame
On a life I’ve chosen not to change

Break down all of my pride
I thought that I could hide
In the arms of safety
Love take hold of my heart
And lead me toward true north
Cause I was made for more
Than a separated heart

I could shake my fist at God
Or the people that I love
Until all my jurisdiction
Has been swept under the rug
The framework that I’ve made
Starts to crack under the weight
Of the borrowed expectations
That I know I can’t sustain

Am I finally awake, fever starting to break
Only chasing my dreams when I’m falling asleep
I’ve been living my life sleepwalking
I wanna dream with my eyes wide open

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
