lyrics

The chamber’s packed, we all will drown
A constant cycle in a spiral to the ground
Now I hate myself for the state you’re in
Under the mess I found you in shackles as
The vultures circle round

There must be something more

You were the one thing I wanted to save
A drop in the ocean causing tidal waves
Done with the parasites
Now I cling to life in the flames
You remain as I fade
As heavens call, you’ll bury us all

All shallow thoughts pave way for hollow charades
You’re making tightropes from razor blades
My fickle friend the light is draining away
Swan dive as you fall upon black days
There’s no way back this time
Your soul fades, an angel in decline
For God sake it never crossed your mind
The high stakes have robbed you blind

You were the one thing I wanted to save
A drop in the ocean causing tidal waves
Done with the parasites
Now I cling to life in the flames
You remain as I fade
As heavens call, you’ll bury us all

I sat in silence out in the cold
In black tides I sank like a stone
Bury the ashes and scatter the bones
I let her go

There’s no words to describe
The bloodstains on you and I
For God’s sake the piercing lie
That scarred face will heal in time

You were the one thing I wanted to save
A drop in the ocean causing tidal waves
(I’m) Done with the parasites and the flames
I remain as you fade
As heavens call, you’ll bury us all
