Lyrics for Hints

Do you remember when we would forget When we were, I guess, an empty continent? We stretched our necks to hear below the decks But our fears were never real enough, so we would just project There is no middle when the other side Would rather kill than compromise There is no middle when the other side Would rather kill than compromise Adjust your eyes to the light Let them roll with pride Focus your mind on the fight And keep your hand in mine In the hills, a holiness already happening Rivers rounding ridges in our fingerprints A love too big to see us overpowering And ever since Heaven sends us sacraments with subtle hints There is no middle when the other side Would rather kill than compromise There is no middle when the other side Would rather kill than compromise Adjust your eyes to the light Let them roll with pride Focus your mind on the fight Keep your hand in mine Do you remember when we would forget When we were, I guess, an empty continent? We stretched our necks to hear below the decks But our fears were never real enough, so we would just project Adjust your eyes to the light Let them roll with pride Focus your mind on the fight And keep your hand in mine
