Territory - Gavin Mikhail

While you give your life away

I will never stop, take stock, and believe in

All the ones who pine away

For the very state you hope to achieve in…

That place you hide

Where the damage gets you by

And if you can

You’ll think that…

I am listening to you repeating everything they believe… And why I bring the

weight of the world crashing down on me… And it may be that you have found

that everything you need… But I’ll never be territory…

And you wander every day

Through the lines and pages, text of the season

And you hope to find a way

But I will not listen up or believe in…

That place you hide

Where the damage gets you by

And if you can

You’ll think that…

I am listening to you repeating everything they believe… And why I bring the

weight of the world crashing down on me… And it may be that you have found

that everything you need… But I’ll never be territory…

But all my life I’ve lived at the price of taking flight away from the man,

true faith, end times, and promised land «If you would only take my hand…»

I am listening to you tell me everything I believe… And why I’m free from the

weight of your conscience, ideology…

I’m listening to you repeating everything they believe… And why I bring the

weight of the world crashing down on me… And it may be that you have found

that everything you need… But I’ll never be territory…
