It's harder to see when we first met,
When time was so easy to forget.
When we made all the right mistakes,
Sleeping in spite of how the earth would shake.
Now how do you sleep amid such deceit,
Naked and unaffected?
Cut every stitch, burn every bridge,
Standing tall and corrected.
This is why things can't be what they used to be.
You'd do anything to make a prime example of me.
Where did the passion go?
We let the violence in us overflow.
We're burning alive for lack of love,
And bound for the sea
'Cause you picture you in place of the lives you covet.
Slow descending waves, wash away my sadness.
Down on your knees as the water rises.
Down on your knees so they'll recognize us.
Fuck waiting for the end.
We'll blow it all to hell before it turns on us again.

The crown of leaves I gave to you is drying out fast.
The worst of me is dead inside your shifting organs.
Ripe wit, magazine glare.
Somehow I knew you'd reappear,
Where smiling giants carry men like me through silver moonlight.
You're sober and unannounced,
Like the flutter of the camera lens.
I can't just be indifferent to this cordial invitation.
As your gold wings open up,
Your highness, open up.
Your gaze is incorrigible.
Translucent lies like lullabies.
She'll dance in the eye of a needle,
Adorning the moon with golden string.
Her tales of sobriety and freedom,
Are a testament to my suffering.
Throughout the fight of a lifetime,
It was your love that subdued me,
Though I thought you were different,
Still your eyes saw right through mine.
You're sober and unannounced,
Like the flutter of the camera lens,
And always one step ahead.
You are to me just like a waking dream,
A treasure buried deep beneath the sea.
I'll carry you, keep you inside my sleeve,
To always keep, my small glass figurine.

Lullaby

Stumbling into the white,
Vacant abyss and out of sight.
Clinging to any comfort now.
Hoping to never make it out.
The bridges we build and burn before we even cross them.
We're always starting over before we've seen the end.
With the sweetest pill, a lullaby,
To quiet restless minds.
Who'll wake to find they've been left behind,
And in search of a softer song.
But I know what it's like to stare into the night,
In fear that they're all wrong.
Of plagues and hymns and empty eyes,
So simply set in stone.
Of hours awake trying to fill the space,
And feeling no less alone.
And still I put my faith in the human race,
And not in the unknown.

Where is my love?
Does she run through the night?
Do her eyes cross at thoughts of higher heights and whiter light?
Does it raise the small hairs on the back of her neck,
When she scoffs at her god,
And she dreams of her death?
And does she remember my face?
Was this supposed to be,
A risk you never meant to take?
And how long must I wait in silence?
All rise! Cover the children's eyes!
This war's at home so pick your side.
Chastise the ones who can't decide.
Know we will never compromise.
Where is my love?
Does the sun pierce her eyes?
Do lovers and madmen sit so side by side?
Does it raise the small hairs on the back of her neck,
When she smiles at the birds,
And they just smile right back?
A thousand shards of broken glass,
They decorate this overpass,
As we search the ground for your blood.
And I lie awake all night.
You were right.
I've got one hand on my heart,
And one hand on my knife.
Sometimes I think you're forever lost.

Where the glowing unfolds with a brilliant sway,
And we're so underwhelmed and so ready to go.
You do what you do in spite of the world,
And we're so dependent on love.
But you put it aside,
To make room for unjustified pride.
It'll eat you alive.
You're bound to the creed you fled.
It won't let you out from inside your head.
You threw out your demons along with your dreams.
The nightmares that mean more to you than they seem.
Remember embers bind and break each tether.
Forever severed but always together.
But this story's old,
You sold your soul for twice it's weight in gold.
You're bound to the greed you bred.
A life as empty as the chair by your deathbed.
You threw out your demons along with your dreams.
The nightmares that mean more to you than they seem.
What you're failing to understand,
As you're washing the blood off your hands,
Is you're sealing your fate with each dark step that you take.
You've run your feelings down,
Right into the ground,
Cause blood spills blood as quiet as a mouse.
You prey on innocence and pray to your god that no one notices, 'cause what's an empire to a louse?

Flying Machines

I dared you to see through your selfishness,
Dust off the cobwebs and make amends.
But you never listen to me.
Linger on all this ancient history,
Until we don't know what we fought for.
We're wasting our time.
Well you say that you pray for your life to just stay the same,
To not ever change again.
But the silence creeps into your life like a quiet carbon monoxide.
We all know what we become,
'Cause it's all been done.
We're awaiting oblivion.
Dreams are toy flying machines,
So always just out of reach.
We've got the heart for the ride,
'Til we're too big to fit inside.
Dreams of toy flying machines,
So always just out of reach.
We're all just hearts on the run.
Give your song to the good sun.
