With a pebble in his shoe
and a limp in his step
he walked like it was swagger
and made the best of struggle
he ain't ask for
move forward regardless
cause what's a plan for
now, he al-ways thought that,
we had arms and feet
so we can scrap on top
of what we stand for
cause what's a stance worth
with no power to hold it down
like a king with a crown
on some unstable ground
it's bound to crack to beneath you
and leave you unfound
swallowed an empire over night
and left without a sound
downtown now
i'm lake shore bound
state your devoutness
I am all about this
words of the spoken
hurts of the broken
bonds of the hopeless
problems we cope with
somehow we lose focus
but I see you down there
soon I'll find where the rope is
then we grown in
the comfort of our own bliss

whispers in the wind rumors
in the hurricane
when what you said then
hurt her again the same
(count 8)
(x2)

With an off brand wardrobe
and a shape that was her own
she walked like it was beauty
and made light of names people
threw around loosely
i'm drawing pencil stabs
across the loose leaf
I wrote it so hard, that
the desk spoke it to me
when I surpassed time allotted
by like 6 songs the floor
boards broke it to me
all I aimed to do
was inform her
that no matter what the world
think, I adore her
I had seen her in class
where I slept in the back
I could plainy see
no tailor tore her jeans
road weathered cloths
I wanted to hold her close
and go where they won't
frightened by their fear
but I heightened and saw clear
I can fix a lot things
no hearts beyond repair
careful or you'll miss
what's beyond a blank stare
i'll only whisper love
cause it could be a hurricane
if spoken loud enough

whispers in the wind rumors
in the hurricane
when what you said then
hurt her again the same
(count 8)
(x2)

i've pained a lot people
with the words that I use
if I hurt you i'm sorry
that's the honest truth just
i've been flipping words since
I was like 10 so
i've been walking circles
since I was like 10 though
growth is debatable cause
I can't see back
down the road that I chose
and up different path
but i'm holding up my hand for
all that I believe in
and you don't know my name yet
so I am not leavin!
I love you, for that
I don't even need a reason
but if I did it's all the lovely
things that you do
even when no one sees them
kindness is rare since
respect ain't in style
but you invest thought
in each one of your decisions
and that's a trait I have
not seen, in a, while
i'm down to work hard
...and do whatever's asked
but I won't stepped on
while kissing someones ass
it's the viking blood
and things family taught
it's his Marine tags
not a damn chain you bought
