Lyrics


1. WRECKAGE

Oh, god help me, the wind is changing
Snow is falling thick and fast
Thick and fast

And my vision is blurred
No I can't hear a thing
I'm shutting down
I'm shutting down
It's all gone to shit

But, everything is as it should be
Everything is fine

And I let slip my intentions
With every word I say (every word I say)
I'm hollow, I'm empty
My patience wearing thin (my patience wearing thin)
Wearing thin

Head first into the Wreckage
We feel the air
And savior every second we can breathe it here
(Cracks lead to edges)
Set this room ablaze
(Corners that crumble and break)
Hold on to every moment that you felt this way
I am so lost in your downfall
Stuck in this downpour

Wake up, for your own sake

And my vision is blurred
No I can't hear a thing
I'm shutting down
I'm shutting down
And this is not how it's supposed to be

I never noticed, just how beautiful the sky is at night
I never noticed..

Head first into the Wreckage
We feel the air
And savior every second we can breathe it here
(Cracks lead to edges)
Set this room ablaze
(Corners that crumble and break)
Hold on to every moment that you felt this way
I am so lost in your downfall
Stuck in this downpour

We're nearing the end.


2. FRACTURES

Raise your hands, you prey for hope but hold on.
Your claws delve deep I grit my teeth. You hold on.
Hope is not dead you've just been forgotten.
Search just this one last time.
Shut down your senses and pick up the pieces.

Keep your head held under the water,
Scratching the surface this emptiness flooding your veins.
No promises on broken bones. Just truth on crossed fingers.
You wanted it oh so bad. Now you're standing on broken glass.
Barefoot and bleeding you're standing on broken glass.

There you go again.

Rats get fat while good men die.

Leave us in the deep.
Hold your fire but keep me in your sights.

I'll know my place, false kings to see scars in mirrors true.
Search one last time, pick up the pieces.
Search one last time, pick up the pieces.
Your claws delve deep while you spread your disease.
With your head held high.

Rats get fat while good men die.


3. (IN) DESOLATION

You took my breath
And held it deep down inside your chest
You promised me everything
In just one smile
And I swear, I've never meant anything more
(Anything)
Than this
All I have
But It's hard for me to let go.

So as hearts keep beating
And lungs keep breathing
My minds always racing with memories
Like pictures on a reel
I'll keep you close for I fear without you
I'd be lost

Can we find our way home?
Before this fire finds us
(Our way back home)
Are we better off alone?
'Cos in a moment we'll shatter
(We'll drown here)

Nothing else matters
No nothing else will matter
Nothing else matters
No nothing else will matter

Quite like you


4. INTERLUDE

If you listen oh so carefully
To the words we've written down
These songs beg no forgiveness
And no solace can be found
For all the feelings that were out of place
Best intentions holding true
As we remain upon unstable ground
And the cracks are showing through


5. (IN) SLEEP

My body is so fucking tired
This constant depravity
A cry for help, to be woken by nothing

Times running out seconds dissolve
And for once, I escape by the skin of my teeth
In sleep, we move in superficial forming

Frozen
Knuckles skimmed down to the bone
I'm Tossing and turning
(I'm broken, this clocks working overtime)

Closer, I'll go
He's turning, he's turning
He's turning, he's turning
Don't second guess this one
You're backed into a brick wall

Trapped inside my throat
Top of my lungs, at the top of my lungs
But the words are lost

My eyes are wide open, my lips sewn shut
(In sleep hold me closer)

Closer, I'll go
He's turning, he's turning (x2)

So grab my hand
I'm reaching out screaming
The tears they are streaming
I'll go

My eyes are wide open (x2)


6. FAULTLINE

As this key starts to turn
There's lessons to be learned
About these sorts of things

My feet leave the ground
My time has come around
I'm so far past breathing
My heart has stopped beating

I'm hoping, I'm pleading
An end to this screaming
For just one night

The edges are fraying
I'm waiting and praying
But it doesn't make it right

It doesn't make it right

It shouldn't feel so hopeless
The faultline runs down my chest
We hang by threads

No
It shouldn't feel so hopeless
The faultline runs down my chest
We hang by threads

By threads
