MY OWN HORIZON

Lyrics

Intro — 12 Seconds
[Shimmering Clean Electric Guitar + Acoustic Arpeggios]
Warm Rolling Bass Enters
Verse 1 — Deep Baritone / Reflective
I spent years
Following footsteps
Pressed into
Someone else's road
Chasing signs
They left behind them
Toward a place
I'd never known
They said someday
I'd understand it
When I'd climbed
As far as them
But every time
I reached the distance...
The distance...
Moved again
Clean Guitar Answers Vocal
Pre-Chorus — Building
Maybe I was never
Falling behind
Maybe I was measuring
This life...
Drums Enter
Against a finish line...
Voice Opens
THAT WAS NEVER MINE
Full Band Explodes
Chorus — Huge / Soaring
I don't need
Your road beneath me
I don't need
Your stars to guide
Let the distance
Keep on moving
I'll decide
Which way is mine
If tomorrow
Keeps on calling
From somewhere
Beyond tonight...
I'll keep walking toward...
Drawn-Out Vocal
My own horiiiiiiizoooooon...
Huge Ringing Open-D Chord
Short Guitar Turnaround
Verse 2 — Stronger / Driving
Funny how
We draw the future
Like a line
Across the sky
Put an age
Beside achievement
Then call ourselves
Behind
But I've seen men
Reach every marker
Still keep asking
What's ahead
Maybe getting
Where you're going...
Isn't where...
The meaning lives
Drums Push
Maybe all these years
Of reaching
Weren't supposed
To have an end
Maybe somewhere
Past the question...
Voice Roughens
I LEARNED TO WALK AGAIN
Chorus — Altered / Bigger
I don't need
Your road beneath me
I can leave
Your signs behind
Let the distance
Keep on moving
I finally know
Which way is mine
I don't need
To own tomorrow
Don't need everything
In sight
I just need something
Worth facing...
When I open...
MY EYES
Guitar Solo — 20 Seconds
Blues-Rooted / Emotional
[Lead Guitar Sings Over Ringing Open-D Chords]
Slow Climbing Phrase
Huge Sustained Bend
Band Drops to Acoustic Guitar
Bridge — Bare Baritone
Maybe the horizon...
Was never there...
For me to reach
Pause
Maybe that's why
Every step I take...
Moves it farther...
Out from me
Clean Electric Guitar Enters
Maybe it isn't
A destination
Maybe there is
No other side
Maybe it was only there...
Warm Bass Enters
To give these feet...
Drums Begin Building
A direction...
Distortion Swells
And give these eyes...
Voice Rising
A PLACE TO RISE
Full Band DETONATES
Final Chorus — Massive / Arena-Wide
I don't need
Your road beneath me!
I don't need
Your stars to guide!
Let the whole damn world
Keep moving!
I KNOW WHICH WAY IS MINE!
Let tomorrow
Stay out there!
Let forever
Take its time!
I don't have to
Reach the ending...
To know I'm living...
MY LIFE!
Band Pulls Back / Vocal Sustains
And wherever
This road takes me...
Whatever waits...
Beyond tonight...
I'll keep walking...
I'll keep looking...
Toward...
My own horiiiiiiiiizooooooon...
Full Band Holds Massive Chord
Lead Guitar Answers Vocal Melody
Short Outro — 8 Seconds

Final Vocal — Low / Warm
It doesn't have to...
Get any closer.
Pause
I just have to know...
Which way...
I wanna go.
Final Open-D Chord — END
