Lyrics

[Verse 1: George Pettit] All blossoms die in the light of our new culture Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered Countless lessons lie in every fever dream A million voices asking, what does it all mean? [Pre-Chorus: Dallas Green and Wade MacNeil] I've lost all direction, I've lost all my direction And now I wish that I would have believed, could have believed Escape, escape nature's indifferent hand Retreat, retreat to the bliss of our creation [Chorus: Green and MacNeil] Born and raised, we're raised to live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird, we search From the north for warmth Our hearts will roam in search of warmth [Verse 2: Pettit] Two hands come together to pray for greater yields Two poles of a compass guided by a field In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance Was this place made, or was it here by chance? [Pre-Chorus: Green and MacNeil] I've lost all direction, I've lost all my direction And now I wish that I would have believed, could have believed Escape, escape nature's indifferent hand Retreat, retreat to the bliss of our creation [Chorus: Green and MacNeil] Born and raised, we're raised to live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird, we search From the north for warmth Our hearts will roam in search of warmth [Bridge: Pettit] Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god's face Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith From birth to death, we search for what's yet to be known We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown [Chorus: Green and MacNeil] Born and raised, we're raised to live beyond The heft and weight of a world undone Like a bird, we search From the north for warmth Our hearts will roam in search of warmth [Outro: Green and MacNeil] 'Cause we were born and raised (We're raised) Born and raised (We're raised) Born and raised (We're raised) Born and raised
