lyrics

What I feel are only burdens weighed over my head. I don't remember the past. Shallow forsights of what's to come and I know it won't last now this tide is receding. You stab in and pull out, your eyes are brimmed with murder. The pools of lust in our eyes keep me floating on serpentine clouds. That morning we buried idols to horror. We childish thoughts. We've lost our function. Chasing thieves in their armor down sidewalks clashed with violence. Professions flushed from my grip without a fight. And for what? For this? Up and cut, stay abrupt, lay thick inside of this I stay silent and stalk your hours. Hold back your voice. Underwater with nothing but time to kill. Hold back your voice. Though I am quiet. Why do we always kill perfection? Look past the mirror its not just you on the other side. I will go and change stay here and stay the same. This echo is a longshot and I hope that it reaches you loud and clear. I can feel this all around me. Can you feel this all around us? Its draining siphoned hope and its leading back to the way we were. Hardened rain and our broken bones with changing suns and our silent prayers; its all lasting for what? No matter tell me that you won't let go. We wait, perched on our false ideals, our breasted pride and our ignorance. Like the children we wish we still were. Its a marvel when silent eyes speak the tell tale truth in a shadowed faith. Your eyes they tell me I'm everything that you could never be. You broke me down.
