The sound and the fury
No ghost left to give
No flesh left to bury
The span between the soil and the sea
Wrestled from the clutches of our sleep
I'm opening paths to adoration
And in the beast that is your heart
I stare and wait as the sky falls
An escape in the dark...
Now that you're sinking hold on to dust
A fatal lifeline connects you to us
I'm a receiver plugged into the stars
I beg to know the truth of your plastic scars
And in the beast that is your heart
I stare and wait as the sky falls
An escape in the dark...
This house is empty and on fire
A beam of light
We raise our eyes toward a radiant shine
In the beast that is your heart
We stare and wait as the sky falls
An escape in the dark...

I follow the same street that abandons
I bet you're at it again
Destroy the guilt, suppress the notion
that I'll never have it again
But don't stay away and give in to the sound
Forget the day and change the poison in me..
All back and forth become the undone
The final holding on
She sees the light and she has a purpose
Am I the only one alive
But don't stay awake and give in to the sound
Forget the day and change the poison in me
The poison in me
It's never enough for you
Even when you've had enough
It's always about you
You'll never listen to me
But don't stay awake and give in to the sound
Forget the day and change the poison in me
The poison in me

Decisions Are Death Here

You take me in while you break the vow
Split apart everything, everything that we have
You move just like the sea, break the shore
Apathy, oh apathy
You fade, become dim with the cracks
Forming on skin
You made yourself into this
You made yourself into this
Fall out of sight
Decisions are death here
Try and make it right
There's a part of you unknown to all
Inside this hollow cave wreathed in flame
Feed me your wrath so I may grow
The gentle hiss of twisted tongues
Carrion, all that's left
Fighting over scraps of me
Fall out of sight
Decisions are death here
Try and make it right
There's a part of you unknown to all
There's no hope here
Hope, there's no hope for our souls here
There's no hope for our souls
There's no hope for our souls here
There's no hope.
Fall out of sight
Decisions are death here
Try and make it right
There's a part of you I know too well
I know too well

I am alive here, I'm awake
A silhouette cold, white as sheets fit in me
Reverse I know, you can hold me down forever
I'm used to it
Sand as my skin, head in the clouds
Above an empty earth
A black drape across my soul
I'm floating out to something new
Reverse I know, you can hold me down forever
I'm used to it, I'm used to it
Even with the ink
No one knows you're gone
Hold now, hold now, I'll forget
Hold now, hold now, I'll forget everything
A faint mark on the wall
I kneel down and leave them all to you
Reverse, I know, you can hold me down forever
Reverse, I know, you can hold me down forever
I'm used to it, I'm used to it

This fading light we hold
It takes me
To brighten up your path
Awake me
And sift smiles through your hands
You can see for miles
And watch the stars over you
Some nights you don't sleep
You wait to lead me
To distant dreams tonight
You don't sleep at all
This dream machine is fact and never fiction
A constellation of my heartbeat
something to believe in
I can feel your blood in my veins
When forever comes calling
I'll be waiting just the same as I've always been
There's no reason to be scared here
I've left the lights on, see there's no fear here
I'm here with you and you're right here with me
And forever's not as far as you might think
So sift smiles through your hands
You can see for miles
Some nights you don't sleep
You wait to lead me
To distant dreams tonight
You don't sleep at all
These are just shadows in your room
And I wouldn't let anything happen to you
You belong to me and I belong to you
And these are just shadows in your room
It's because of the light
Sift smiles through your hands
And you can see for...
Some nights you don't sleep
You don't even close your eyes
You wait to lead me
The distant dreams tonight
You don't sleep at all

I wish I could show you
these beautiful things that I've found
Pictures of sunsets, the smell of spring
The fountains that spew gold colored rings
A far away light it waves goodbye
The current and curve, the shedding of leaves
The ambient noise to lull us to sleep
We move to somewhere safe
For when we visit you
We will sleep on the Earth
Sleep on the Earth
Your voice is just like your absent thoughts
And I'll be your exit, your escape of sorts
The sorrow in me, the wound that refuses to heal
It folds into flesh, it reddens our blood
Turn breath into air, your body releasing
We move to somewhere safe
For when we visit you
We will sleep on the Earth
Sleep on the Earth
We move to somewhere safe
For when we visit you
We will sleep on the Earth
Sleep on the Earth

She was the wind, took me by force
I felt myself screaming out
Never to let her go
Never to let her know
And suddenly all this makes a sad sad song
A wasted breath from broken lungs
When they all they say is all they mean
But there is nothing left for me
It's not me no it's not me
These hands keep on moving
All the time I can't stop them from thinking
I watch the world contend with the world we escape
Now it's luck you wish for me
And suddenly all this makes a sad sad song
A wasted breath from broken lungs
When they all they say is all they mean
But there is nothing left for me
It's not me no it's not me
Lost in forever
Lost in forever
I spin in open seas
Words swallow me
And suddenly all this makes a sad sad song
A wasted breath from broken lungs
When they all they say is all they mean
But there is nothing left for me
It's not me no it's not me anymore

Quiet battles that rage behind our beautiful facades
Great performances we give,
only in the end to feel like frauds
Suffering under a well worn disguise
Defeated by all the frail worn out smiles
Tremble in the passion of our farewell
The selfish need, like a blanket we clutch
Staring into black like some old hanging spell
Tremble in the passion of our farewell
Instead of me it's you hanging by a thread
Pulling together the pieces
I've held on for too long, if only for tonight
We remember every word
Bury us far from this earth
A thousand miles from the shore
Transform death and birth
The first light is hard to ignore
Take me to the dark somewhere I can glow
Tremble in the passion of our farewell
Instead of me it's you hanging by a thread
Pulling together the pieces
I've held on for too long, if only for tonight
We remember every word
Every word you say
Instead of me it's you
Pulling together the pieces
Instead of me it's you hanging by a thread
Pulling together the pieces
I've held on for too long, if only for tonight
We remember every word

This is the end, where do I start
You're wandering in death, am I alive?
One final path I'll seek to light
They pull apart my chest, they sew up my insides
Holograms form inside of my eyes
For the first time
So still, so still
I was so wrong to think we were safe
Engaging your disguise, no compromise
We keep setting fires and spill water in vain
I'm falling through the blank space of memory
Try to hold to the life we leave
Holograms form inside of my eyes
For the first time
So still, so still
Keep my face from the turning light
And turn away from the pitying eyes of grey
We can hold off the sun
Because I'm only here for the memories
Holograms form inside of my eyes
For the first time
So still, so still
