I was born far away, in this
Sleepless town, your
Breaths dim and dying seep out
In dreams a steady grey
Our shit is buried deep there
‘Neath a tsunami wave, and
I was never meant to stay
Choke back the feelings as we have to say goodbye
In this life, you will never hear me cry
Daylight recedes and I am sorry to
Disrupt your dreams, though you will
Surely suffer for this sin, I pray, be still
And when you’re coaxed out to the edge, just let it
Fall away!
Encased in dread, please let it
Fall away!
Chained up, imprisoned, and you, can’t ever seem to seem to break free
Hold out long enough death’s shroud will fall away
And in this new dawn hope is never ending
Deep in your love
Seep in my love
These hopeful whispers are all we can be
All we can see
Face these notes I hear lights, inside
Chase these memories, they’re falling in time
Slow down your thoughts or they’ll eat you alive
Slow down these nights as we’re falling in time

Pressure’s on and you’ve got no time
What’s left now of your feeble life?
You’re an actor, an imposter
Faceless ego, honest lies
Invent a man in the sky
If it gives you solace when you die
Solace when you die (x3)
Will you realize?
Woah!
With my broken hands
I climb the heavens
Why did these angels decide
To leave me behind?
Fortunes barren, a desert sun
This violation
Validates the toll
Trade your soul
For a vision
Suffering needs no witness
Sick Lord
Weave your web
Leave the dead rotting in place
Sick world
Fallen grace
Erode, erase, we’re falling away
This place never felt so cold
This place, this place
Day by day
It slips away
Almost the end I can feel it
This weight, remains, afraid
My soul
I’m ready to see it
Serving toxic truths
Hollow grooves
Plastic moods
Plastic moods
Hollow grooves
Toxic truths
Rain down above you

Death is a scream underwater
Trapped in this scene for a lover
Save yourself, from yourself
Death is a scream underwater
Lies intervene through the sorrow
Blame yourself
Justify grips on each other
Trapped in this scene for a lover
Name yourself, tame yourself
Death is a scream underwater
Death is a scream underwater
Blame yourself
He said the line between life and death is blurred
He said, you’d better run
For danger lies beneath the soil
And it is coming for you
Try to float above water but you’re drowning instead
Try to save yourself but you are wasting away
Hold your delusions close before they unfold
In time, you will see this through
I wanted you (x4)
I wanted you to wait by my bedside
Wanted to shred any dignity I had left
But your face says I am worth it
And I never should have doubted this truth
Tell me how to help you, I will
Tell me how to save you, I’ll try my best
Tell me how to be there, I will
Tell me how to help you, I’ll try my best
And when you’re gone, this sea of wasted faces
Look to yourself, your dreams have faded
Look to this song, fears impermanence lie
Speak to yourself but you are far, far away

I believe, fully, if you leave
Fade out over the sea
We’ll be wasting down
The special way
How you play the key
Unlocking, patiently
Strayed, we are lost now
See the punk club
Out on Gilman street
Drinking anything casually
The bay lights, shimmering
I could swear they’re haunting me
On Halloween, between the trees
I saw it again, happening
The moonlight, glistening
In sleepless nights and hollow dreams
Hollow dreams (x2)
Hear a haunting melody fill the wind, to bring you back to me
And as the city sleeps
I’m climbing discreetly
To sights unveiled
Bathe in lights
Prophetic, blissful scenes
Oracle, stay with me
Oil filled sea
But you’re slipping away, take me away with you
Take me away with you
Take me away with you...
