Out Loud Lyrics

Lonely soldier

I can't hold ya

Safe and sound 'cause that'll make you colder

Not your fault, but

Battle calls ya

Up that mountain

Here we go again

How many metaphors will I abuse over the same flow again

Push and pull and break myself

To try and find a way to be different and save myself

'Cause I got

Rushing days and numbered years

They try to put an expiration date on dreams I fear

I won't listen

But sooner or later need to realize vision

Or it's all going to nothing

That's what I tell myself on all these long drives alone

Need to dig deep, break that heart of stone

Find words with meaning

Repeat them

'Til I'm not the only one who believes them

Maybe if I'm lucky at the end of the road

There will be a pot of gold waiting for me, I don't know

It's worth a shot, or maybe it's not

The only way to find out is to open my mouth out

Loud

Open my mouth out

Loud

I'm the lonely soldier

I can't hold myself back I need closure

Need to see it through, this mission

I think I belong

But there's no footprints up ahead on this path I'm on

Open my mouth, say words that mean

Something to me, hoping they stick effortlessly

Trying to make something that's great from nothing

I won't stop 'til I see the dust jumping

There might come a day

When all the work I've put in goes to waste

And I just can't catch that dream I've been chasing

Escapes me, eludes me, lost in translation

But at least I can say

I gave it all, went to war everyday

As the lonely soldier

Leave my heart on the battlefield, grows cold

If I'm going down

I might as well take my peace and say it out

Loud

Open my mouth out

Loud
