A Bridge Called Life : Saved from Death
Lyrics
1. DAMIEN
Twenty three years, this spirit finally rests;
The ghost of you and I.
Remembering the nights
Counting all the darkest stars,
And stumbling through the thickest fog.
Our corpse hangs lifeless from the basement wall.
I'm left dreaming on the other side.
Everything is just a memory now.
Haunting me at your own expense.
I hate you for tearing them apart.
I hate you for the lust you put inside his eyes.
And I hate you just for who you are.
The devil in his eyes.
Just bury my son in his father's shadow.
Shoveling faster as the fear wore on his face.
And these sheets fold overhead like a coffin.
As pitchforks and torches march towards our home.
This furnace is burning up my soul,
As you turn over in your grave.
2. FEAR OF THE LOVERS LIFE
Now as I wander
I feel my lungs giving up
I can't see the future
But I feel its wearing thin.
The air I'm breathing now is wearing thin.
If this is love then I won't need it again
The static sets in
Oh my God, the shadow sets in
And I'll wait until the morning
To wash away all these fears.
Is this nightmare over yet?
Or am I falling again?
This feels like chaos.
My mind is racing everywhere,
Thoughts aren't so clear,
Thoughts are so lucid.
This time I won't fall face down,
And I won't need to lose my confidence.
Though it's only skin deep
Confidence is only skin deep
Your ribs protect your heart
Fear is just where it starts
This is where it starts a fear in your heart
So realize you aren't my nightmare.
3. CIRCULATION OF A CEMETERY
God forgive me for the liar I've become,
Wrapped around in ropes
That tie tighter each time these lips part
We bury ourselves alive.
Our severed hearts will find their place in the ground,
But this plague will never rest..
Destructive forces leave my side..
As I say all the right words,
This blood is the source that spreads as a glaze into crevices.
Inside the dark rooms such as my soul,
Flip the switch, the devil's so much closer.
He's right on our teeth, denying our hopes,
Collapsing our futures.
Destructive forces leave my side.
4. THE WORLD AS WE DESTROY IT
In this room filled with strangers
I watch as our future falls into desperate hands.
Is this what tomorrow brings?
Someone needs to rid us of the time bomb
Set to explode, set to explode
Any day now our time could run out
Zero point zero gone
(You'll find out through your own way..)
Get up from your couches everyone
And take your place in line to follow the leader
Straight down a cliff
Someone needs to rid us of the time bomb
Set to explode, set to explode
Any day now our time could run out
Zero point zero gone
(Before these trees betray you)
Opened eyes to a brand new day
Opened eyes to this disaster we've made
5. DOWNTOWN EGOTISTIC
I climbed up the highest skyscraper
Just to fall; never ending
My words don't matter apparently
Forget them, you're selfish
If I finally hit the ground
You won't need to bury me
Just cover me up with flowers
This world is a stock market
You invest into the lives of another country
Beware of bombs
God save us all
Twenty three years, this spirit finally rests;
The ghost of you and I.
Remembering the nights
Counting all the darkest stars,
And stumbling through the thickest fog.
Our corpse hangs lifeless from the basement wall.
I'm left dreaming on the other side.
Everything is just a memory now.
Haunting me at your own expense.
I hate you for tearing them apart.
I hate you for the lust you put inside his eyes.
And I hate you just for who you are.
The devil in his eyes.
Just bury my son in his father's shadow.
Shoveling faster as the fear wore on his face.
And these sheets fold overhead like a coffin.
