about

This song was written in the highest point of Grandview Cemetary in Johnstown Pa. On a stone that said "Glock" on it. Beautiful sight from there.

lyrics

Sitting on top of Grandview
watching the wind blow flags
all of my troubles
are asleep at last
thousands of people
all sleeping up here
sounds of the city
so loud and near

how can there be peace
when theres so much pain
how can there be silence
when the world won't go away

steal my peace in time
when i'm home again
then someone takes mine
and i go again
walking heals my soul
so i'm free now
darkness in my veins
now i can't come down

how many days gone
still i'm bound
i could be released
if i could just stay down

i feel helpless
yet safe
i feel helpless
yet safe
