Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The cold comes with a sting
A sting across my head
Cracking and Breaking
Like the weight upon my chest
It took me years to figure out
It's what I needed
Needed to survive
[Verse 2]
What I need to survive
My resolve will be revived
[Verse 3]
I discovered a cure for my misery
By spending time with the unforgiving
Something more
So much more
Graceful than anything
Anything living
[Chorus]
Alone with the wind is where I ride
As I find my place among the stars
This moment makes me feel alive
It's what I need to survive
[Verse 4]
Time stands still
As my thoughts are swimming
Time stands still
Time stands still
As my thoughts are swimming
Time stands still
[Bridge]
My muscles may ache
My tendons may break
But tearing myself down to nothing has allowed
Me to become something more than this
Something greater
This is where I may seem lost
But I promise you are more
Awake than ever, awake than ever
Facing out towards the never ending expanse
As I take my place among the stars
[Chorus]
Alone with the wind is where I ride
As I find my place among the stars
This moment makes me feel alive
It's what I need to survive
[Outro]
Open soul, open mind
I'm finally focused on what's inside
Life gains a new perspective
Life gains a new perspective
Open soul, open mind
I'm finally focused on what's inside
Life gains a new perspective
