Strive

I strive to give you thoughts that bring you home
Bring your eyes to setting sun
Bring truth to a woman's tongue
I strive but we destroy what we have won
Believe the ties our world has run
Bring fault to all we've done

I can't be forgiving with your arms around me
Hollow hills will slowly turn (I strive)
And I can't be forgiving with your around me
Wooden cities always burn

I strive
I look sick but I belong
I feel grime beneath my tongue
From dreams I never won
I strive to know your body better now
Without the sign your family found
What proof of where we're bound?

I can't be forgiving with your arms around me
Hollow hills will slowly turn (I strive)
And I can't be forgiving with your arms around me
Wooden cities always burn

I strive
I strive
I strive
I strive
