Hi Brandon - Love this track! Top stuff! I have been following you a while on Instagram etc., due to our mutual love of Rush, but did not know you were working on a full-on production like this. It's fab! 👍🏻😎

lyrics
Sift by Brandon Dyke
copyright 2013
So you've been through some hard times.
And you feel so all alone.
With no compass to guide you.
You've even given up on your own.
There is hope for the answers.
But you might not know them all.
Being a slave to the questions, keeps your mind and your faith too small.
Chorus:
Sift through the darkest night.
Make peace with this endless flight.
Sift through the thoughts that bind you.
Maybe the truth isn't hard to find when you sift.
Many more of the people that you thought would be by your side.
Disappear in the distance.
Another chapter in the sands of time.
Step away from the city square.
Only then you will see who cares.
The few left remaining, bring you back to those moments shared.
(Chorus)
Circumstances will spread their wings.
Then do their best to bring you down.
Bringing out the worst of you.
Leaving you tied up and nowhere to be found.
You must sift through the wreckage.
Only then you will find the gold.
You are the treasure waiting for the rest to unfold.
Bridge:
Make a careful examination.
Sift through your situation.
(Chorus)
