about

"...the sense of longing to be in a better place in your life or having that sense of hope, but also acknowledging that there are things that are keeping you from moving to that stage of your life and that you're not doing anything to better yourself essentially."

Alexander Sterling Massenkoff of To Bloom on the song "We Can Never Go Back to Arizona", in an interview with Talkin bout Rock.

lyrics

I find myself in my mind, paying no mind to this life.
Everything breathes, yet all is still.
Choice rears its head

Cut down the trees,
Stop the smoke they bring.
So I can see, so I can breathe.
Slit the throat, taste and let it flow

I am dissonance,
I flow through all
I swim in the sky and through the earth I crawl.
But tonight, I see the shapes in stars.
And I'm longing for something better than this.

I don't wanna leave, from underneath this tree.
My own, it's grown and it's always shading me.

There's something coursings through these veins,
taking me away.
Still I breathe,
watching and waiting,
Baiting any chance of hope.

The patterns I see on the horizon,
It's the reason why I bleed.
The damage is done
But you still breathe my air.

I've watched the sky,
shed it's gradients.
With every passing season.
And I try everyday to find a life with meaning.

I am dissonance,
I flow through all
I swim in the sky and through the earth I crawl.
But tonight, I see the shapes in stars.
And I'm longing for something better than this.
