SOTD 1/10/10: Walls

Last night in Florida, To Write Love On Her Arms held their third annual Heavy and Light. It is a concert, this year featuring several musicians like Stephen Christian of Anberlin, Aaron Gillespie of Underoath/The Almost and Mat Kearney. Bryce Avary (The Rocket Summer) also performed last night and he debuted a new song called Walls. From the sounds of it, the regular version that will be on his new album will have electric guitars and all that good stuff, but this time he just played piano. It is a beautiful song full of hope and I am very much looking forward to hearing the full version.



The story of my life I can't quite comprehend
So tell me if you know how it ends
When everywhere you go feels like a mirror maze
And you're not sure how you're stuck in this place
And you've got nowhere else to go
And you're lost within your own home
You're trying so hard to win
You keep trying, it's embarrassing
And how you don't even know
But you know you're off the tracks
And how did you get in here
Thinking, how did I get in here
I'll help you break the walls down
I'll help you break the walls down
And bust you out
And take you home
Believe you me
You are not alone
I'll help you break the walls down
Does anybody know where February went
I was hoping that by now it'd be the end of this
But when you open up a book and read a thousand lines
But you don't really read, you just move your eyes
And you've got nowhere else to go
And you're lost within your own home
You're trying so hard to win
You keep trying, it's embarrassing
And how you don't even know
But you know you're off the tracks
And how did you get in here
Thinking, how did I get in here
I'll help you break the walls down
I'll help you break the walls down
And bust you out
And take you home
Believe you me
You are not alone
I'll help you break the walls down
And I know this is random
But just this morning I saw the sun reflecting off the lawn and window
Oh, I dont know why but I thought you should know
When you've got nowhere else to go
And you're lost within your own home
You're trying so hard to win
You keep trying, its embarrassing
And how you dont even know
But you know youre off the tracks
And how did you get in here
Thinking, how did I get in here
I'll help you break the walls down
I'll help you break the walls down
And bust you out
And take you home
Believe you me
You are not alone
I'll help you break the walls down
And all the weight that you carry will disappear
And I will willingly embrace your soul you lay ahead
So come on home
Come on home
Come on home
Home
Yeah
