Born and Raised
[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]
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: Dallas Green and (Wade MacNiel)]
We were born and raised (we're raised)
To live beyond (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: George 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: Dallas Green and (Wade MacNiel)]
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: Dallas Green and (Wade MacNiel)]
We were born and raised (we're raised)
To live beyond (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: George 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: Dallas Green and (Wade MacNiel)]
Born and raised (we're raised)
To live beyond (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: Dallas Green and (Wade MacNiel)]
We were born and raised (raised)
Born and raised (and raised)
Born and raised (and raised)
Born and raised (and raised)
