lyrics

I couldn't wait for an accident
Built my own and held on tight
Every time you lower me down
I drift away, chase that high

My lonely nights, are all I know

Taking all I can find
Filling space, killing time
I'm home again

Bending shapes, x-ray light
Poring in, I feel like
I'm whole again

My lonely nights, all i know
This tired life's all my own

Taking all I can find
(Swallowed a lot of blood)
Filling space, killing time
(I don't feel so thick)
I'm home again

Bending shapes, x-ray light
(Swallowed a lot of blood)
Poring in makes me feel like
(I don't feel so thick)
I'm whole again

Growing In
by ace enders

supported by 15 fans who also own “From the Ground Up”

I remember when Growing In was released as a surprise, I was incredibly excited. And the way Ace passed it off as something he just whipped up really quick made me excited to just have a little something extra. But this album quickly became my favorite album of the year, and may even be my favorite album out of all of Ace's projects. christovix

Nightfalls
by The Sun and The Sea

supported by 14 fans who also own “From the Ground Up”

I can always find myself in every single aspect of The Sun and The Sea's work. Beautiful and dreamy instrumentals combined with comforting and profound lyrics are there for me on my highest and lowest days. Being able to relate to everything personally, these fellows will remain to be my favorite band as I continue to travel into the unknown hikaruonline
