The Path Lyrics

Look in the basement of your heart
There is a light that just went dark
Look through the wreckage to find reverie
There is a truth that we all must see

You waited for someone to come and save you
But you are afraid to see the truth
The insecurities
That you cling to
Will steal the beauty of your youth
Take comfort to know, take comfort to know
That we are reborn together
Reborn to follow
So hold high young hopes
Find what you love and let the rest all go

Hearts burn on

[Chorus]
And it takes
More strength
To move on

Hearts burn on

[Chorus]
Hearts

Dig up the nails
Pull up the floorboards
Come to face with your subconscious mind
The devil, the sinner, the saint
They're all in our blood
But we must choose the path that we walk on
We get to choose the path that we walk on

Light the flame in your soul and burn on

Hearts burn on

[Chorus]

Hearts burn on

[Chorus]

Don't be afraid
To stumble and weep
Enjoy the journey
Even when it's steep
The mountains teach us
To rise up and reach
Enjoy the journey
Even when you're weak
Passion pushes the urge
Your love of life determines what you're worth
Go now and unlearn
And burn, and burn, and burn, and burn

Look in the basement of your heart
There is a light that just went dark
Look through the wreckage to find reverie
There is a truth that we all must see

Hearts burn on

About

Genius Annotation

Lyrically it’s about someone who is too hung up on their own shit. Someone who’s just too afraid to make a change or movement. Too afraid to really try to start comprehending the real things in life which are not material based and more spirituality love, and relationships.

This song’s fucking great… One of the best songs we’ve ever written.
- Buddy Nielsen
