Veins

I know there are stories we could have chose to write
They became just fiction as we slept overnight
Don't tell me that it's all come to pass
These are the moments that we can't make last
We'll try to hold on to characters we made
When chapters were written, the epilogue in place
Don't tell me that it's all come to pass
These are the moments that we can't make last
Pull these plans off the page and make them something more
Than placeholders and codes left to point the way
Can we live in danger and fail while we're young?
Is it too late now have we closed all the doors?
So we wait
Plot lines spread like veins
We begin to chase them all to their end
Before they can begin
The distance in between
Where we are and where we've been
We'll have to reconnect
Before we all forget
And take the current for the truth
Another way we never knew
Try as we can to bend the scripts
They slip through our fingertips

Escape Plans

Just a captive now but they key is in your hands
Locks within your reach
You've drawn escape plans
Will you hope for something else
Beyond the lies I have to sell
You're a caged bird but how long will you sing
Until I let you starve, until I clip your wings
And if I set you free and you have the will to fly
Will you ever return if you taste the open sky
Will you hope for something else
Beyond the lies I have to sell
When you overtake me and clear these walls
You'll see for miles and miles
Will I ever have the strength
To make you stay inside
Can I be the weight
That's tied around your neck
As you grow I'll recede and the world will hold us both
(And our feats)
And you know that I won't keep you under lock and key
(Led to believe)
That you'll hope for something else
Outside the bars of your cell

Look To The Sun

Following in the footsteps of lost places and dead names
That were left behind as bait
Skies dark and grey
We'll watch the leaks become lakes and sink down to the bottom
If you believed we'd always be
Look to the sun to revive
and push these waves aside
Know this will end anyway
With our bodies so numb
Time turn us to strangers and flush out the enemies
Before they can feed or pull us beneath
The swells we did not see
And so you'll pray the empire fade
Look to the sun to revive
and push these waves aside
Know this will end anyway
With our bodies so numb
Still cold in the sun
(Know this will end)
With our bodies so numb
(Currents and sand)
Still cold in the sun

Taken By The Fire
06:27
|

|
Our eyes in flames
Burn away the designs that we shape
And turn them to ash so we cast them away
Pull flesh from bone
To expand on the things that we own
And wear ourselves down in pursuit
Our gaze will fall
On the things taken by the fire
That's reached our homes
What's lost and gained
When we constantly must rearrange
And spread ourselves thin to survive
Our gaze will fall
On the things taken by the fire
And all the seeds we've sewn to bring them back
And casualties we know we must subtract
Until we're left alone
Be forewarned that the blaze we set inside ourselves
Will burn beyond the safety of the lines we set
To keep control
And we'll wait for something new for the flames to consume

Barricades

Waste of time
Waste of space
Lines that blur between the days
Dials spin and I can't begin to make the paces
And you will never know my name
And all the stories end the same
This honor that I'll shame and all the things I blame
Barricades I've made are standing in my way
A step ahead but two behind
I tie my progress to the dime
I can't resist the chance to measure this
With something I can see
And you will never know my name
And all the stories end the same
This honor that I'll shame and all the things I blame
Barricades I've made are standing in my way
This hand I have to play I was never meant to save
Let the season change and fall into my grave
Behind it all I'll wait
And hope you'll know my name
