lyrics
I fell asleep breathing in ease and close attention. As I listened to the words passed on by deadmen (Nothing worth to mention). They just caught the sirens. All I' left with is a chance of becoming a worthless original. Just to wake up choking on these things I would never care about. Now I'm screaming.With murder on my lips. Carry the lifeless message violent on their breathe. Answers to a question long gone. Are we alive to overcome or to survive. Its hard to say what they mean; is always made of dust; they always fall apart, they always take from us. We've learned from souless excerpts marching in stride to the rythm of falling bombs. Mark your words before you speak through the silence thats golden. Ill keep this inside me just know that I'll be waiting to make this a fortune to absolve. We'll make this a fortune to absolve. These walls are settling into their own sense of a home and i can hear it; its like their breathing. They're reciting my actions, accidents. Was it living? Was it breathing? It just seems we carry on and on and on. This was never living. It was never breathing. This was just something that we carried on for days. So tell me, do you still think that silence is golden? We fall hand in hand. Eyes tied together to die or rise. I'm not letting go, just to choke on these words that took me forever to say. Just hopeless and full of sin, and I've never felt better. But its this glory I'll never know, and the dust will just turn to stone. We havent spent enough time under the sun to stand and say goodbye. We find the means impressionable; remove the soul so the skin and bones remain. So im hopeless and full of sin and im drowning in this town again. We're dealing with flesh and blood and its only a matter of time. While im holding my head its just building inside. Our rights, our passings, are failing under this hollow sky.
