The Return ft. Risk1 Lyrics

So although we sunk and nearly let ourselves drown

We didn't let ourselves down our horizons shrunk

Never jumped ship or slumped slipped we just fell down

And couldn't rise above tides that tumbled when the bell sounds

Hell's mouth gaped wide mumbled platitudes

Made a backing tune that played our heart strings black and blue

Times I struggled through the rubble and the sands and dunes

Til I stumbled to the jungle where I collapsed and drew

New maps with new paths so sad they don't lead back to you

I truly hope you find your patch of land on any track you choose

They say nothing lasts forever I know that is true

That doesn't mean your past endeavours are all bad for you

I guess I'm slowly understanding that

Life is not a race to find a place to plant your standard at

The only destination waiting for us when we finally collapse is static

So best to keep on moving for the time we have

I will never forget this journey never regret this journey

And when I see the sea I will return with all I've learnt and I will

Never be sweating this journey or the way that it turned out

The nearly drowning and the drought up in the desert cause I found

Myself in stepping this journey I'm not the same as before

Changed sailing the storm new flesh the desert had burnt me

So now I gaze at the shore and whatever the waves I'm sure

That I can face it all and fall and claw my way back for eternity

I open up my eyes and see the sky to the horizon and with certainty know life is

Waiting there for us to find it on a million little islands

Just so long as I keep moving I am living not surviving yeah

I am living not surviving I've seen the world turn grey

And now the colours back it seems so vivid and so vibrant

Funny how things work that way

I may not have found land but I've the spirit of the island with me everyday
