is this danger
is this true love
is this something i can hope to know
is this laughter
is this anger
is this a reason to lose control
i have stood on the mountain apex
waiting for the truth
i have walked a million miles
just to see what i already knew
is this a basket
is this my own life
is this container to never use
is this sadness
is this past us
is this a moment we did not choose
i have walked through the darkest forest
waiting for inspiration
i have prayed a million hail marys
just to wait at that godless station
i’ve been holding back on loving you
i've been holding back, i've been holding back
I’ve been holding back on holding you
i've been holding back, i've been holding back
is this wisdom
is this garbage
is this something i can throw away
is this caution
is this springtime
is this a season that will not stay
i’ve been holding back on loving you
i've been holding back, i've been holding back
I’ve been holding back on holding you
i've been holding back, i've been holding back
is this over
is this my wish
is this a speech that i have never heard
is this a lion
is this a lamb
is this a nature where we can’t be sure
From dark, somber melodies to brighter, nostalgic tones, Ephemera really does a great job of relaying the emotion of the memories that inspired these songs. Mason Galliver
