Lyrics Victory - The Avett Brothers

I don′t write 'cause I don′t think
I don't have a need to speak
I don't see the bright side, quite as clear
Accolades and happy days
They don′t ever last
Stories of courage clouded up with fear
In the broom grass, I would l lie
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
From victory, I tried
To match eternal light with how I live my life
Of course, I was forced to retreat
From victory,I accept defeat
Waxy green and yellow walls
Outside my windows fall
Covering the light I thought I′d see
Am I sad or am I sick?
What's at the root of it?
Do I throw my hands and quit?
Something tells me, no
In the broom grass, I would l lie
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
From victory, I tried
To match eternal light with how I live my life
Of course, I was forced to retreat
From victory, I accept defeat
Worries on all sides of my mind
In silence, my darkness is denied
In the broom grass, I would l lie
Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me
From victory, I tried
To match eternal light with how I live my life
Of course, I was forced to retreat
And from victory, I accept defeat
From victory I accept defeat
