about

Written and produced by Sy Smith

lyrics

I don't wanna leave you behind
But there's so much of me left out there to find
I know that if I stay around
You'd pick up that axe you love to grind

Oh
Such is the conundrum
In my soul
Beating me like a drum
To a pulp
Cannot solve the riddle
Impossible
Climbing high, still can't get over
You


I don't wanna take it from here
Picking up pieces that you hold so dear
Can't plant my feet in sandy ground
Feelings wash ashore but nothing is clear

Oh
Such is the conundrum
In my soul
Beating me like a drum
To a pulp
Cannot solve the riddle
Impossible
I get so high, but can't get over
You
