lyrics

A:

Erased by my actions
A grey stain on my future
Watching form your tower
Are you helping me
Are you hurting me

The needle’s poking holes
A peek into the grief
Snapping the arms of a foreign tree
And they’re watching me
While they bleed

And the breeze
Tries to subdue me

You fall in the ravine
Can I leave my horror dreams
A million ghosts are chasing after me
The perfect future riddled with disease

I think I know how this will end
A circle lined with hate
I do not represent
And even my throne in the sky
Can’t make me forget

I slip into the skin of a
Forsaken son
A child with a gun
My ailing palms will set off a wave
Like an atomic bomb
And rip the skin off your arms
What can keep the calm

The strings of disbelief
Etching the walls with charcoal
And teasing navigation
But they lie to me
They hide from me

The more I dig beneath
The less that I believe
That the momentum will set me free
And I want to leave
I try to leave

But the breeze
Repossesses me

I'm shifting through the hours
Watch the night become devoured
A stopping power is taking over me
A side effect to keeping on my feet

I think I know how this will end
A circle lined with hate
I do not represent
And even my throne in the sky
Can’t make me pretend

I slip into the skin of a
Forsaken son
A child with a gun
My ailing palms will set off a wave
Like an atomic bomb
And rip the skin off your arms

R:

An unborn daughter
Split from the martyr
A frozen beauty
A gem with a stare

A son of stagnation
He can’t remain attentive
Baring his genocidal face

Take a look inside
You will find that their minds are empty
Devoid of personality
Their hearts don’t know how to bleed

Robbed of the chance to experience fascination
Desire couldn’t bear to let them leave

Take a look inside
You will find that their minds are empty
The patriarch has drained their love away
Devoid of personality
Their mouths don’t know how to breathe

A:

I don’t believe this catastrophe
Was caused by the worst in me
Messiah your secrets put your sceptre down

I slip into the skin of a
Forsaken son
A child with a gun
Looking for the one who
Subdues me and runs
To block out the sun
I’m at the wrong end of the marionette
And I pray that I haven’t lost control just yet

My ailing palms won’t
Set off a chain
Of self-destruction and harm
I only want to disarm the ones who made me hurt you

H:

Despite your realization
Your quest for fame
The world will compromise you
You’ve tapped into the vein

And as you take the reins
The choices fade
You’re barely speaking english baby
I want you to escape

Slip back into my arms
Disregard the information
Gouge out your minds eye

Hold your weight
Don’t leave me in the void you left
From teleporting over to the roof again
It’s breaking my spirit
Chew me up spit me out
Destroy the tie to your sympathy
