"My Resolve" lyrics
Bruce Hornsby & James Mercer Lyrics
Ash plumes rise
In electrified skies
Incandescent light
Oh, with flash bolt eyes
And no one knows why
I've been drawn to this lie
I'm down when they're high
On a survival line
Oh, in my resolve I moved the rock
Maybe fall down trying
My ineptitude stares me down
In this space, I cower
And I try to stand above the fray
Stand apart, not by it
And I move on up above the hill
To maybe fully flower
I flower
Reach for the heights
And then throw on to the depths
I look for someone wise
With a soft caress
Will I find myself alone
Repeating numbing ties
You could help roll it up
'Cause I got no backup plan
Oh, in my resolve I moved the rock
Maybe fall down trying
My ineptitude stares me down
In this space, I cower
And I try to stand above the fray
Stand apart, not by it
And I move on up above the hill
To maybe fully flower
Ooh, I flower
Move on up and I roll back down
Crampons broke, no one hears my sound
Upward, downward for so long
In my resolve, I climb and climb, and I fall
In my resolve I moved the rock
Maybe fall down trying
My ineptitude stares me down
In this space, I cower
And I try to stand above the fray
Stand apart, not by it
And I move on up above the hill
To maybe fully flower
Ash plumes rise
In an electrified sky
An incandescent light
With flash bolt eyes
On a survival line
In electrified skies
Incandescent light
Oh, with flash bolt eyes
And no one knows why
I've been drawn to this lie
I'm down when they're high
On a survival line
Oh, in my resolve I moved the rock
Maybe fall down trying
My ineptitude stares me down
In this space, I cower
And I try to stand above the fray
Stand apart, not by it
And I move on up above the hill
To maybe fully flower
I flower
Reach for the heights
And then throw on to the depths
I look for someone wise
With a soft caress
Will I find myself alone
Repeating numbing ties
You could help roll it up
'Cause I got no backup plan
Oh, in my resolve I moved the rock
Maybe fall down trying
My ineptitude stares me down
In this space, I cower
And I try to stand above the fray
Stand apart, not by it
And I move on up above the hill
To maybe fully flower
Ooh, I flower
Move on up and I roll back down
Crampons broke, no one hears my sound
Upward, downward for so long
In my resolve, I climb and climb, and I fall
In my resolve I moved the rock
Maybe fall down trying
My ineptitude stares me down
In this space, I cower
And I try to stand above the fray
Stand apart, not by it
And I move on up above the hill
To maybe fully flower
Ash plumes rise
In an electrified sky
An incandescent light
With flash bolt eyes
On a survival line
