Gavin Mikhail - Territory

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 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
