Lyrics Five Points - Half Hearted Hero

Five Points

A year alone: mistook the forest for the trees and a house for a home
A wandering mind swept out the romance from under my feet
Don’t leave behind comfort and knowledge for clouded minds
My soul’s an olive tree and I’ll be gnarled and twisted for centuries
Is this my nature?
Have I a greater cause outside these senses and laws?
Barbed wire fences and all, you’ve staked me to five points
My choice to break still remains
We humbled ourselves in scenic sanctuaries and took our place in the cliff-rock
face
To let god lay waste to whatever he may
But we failed to see he’s you and me, that corner of our brain we’ve yet to name
Don’t make it a big deal, these things will reveal themselves
Don’t fall to your knees, nobody’s watching you in your sleep
