will you be there?

Alive, a lie
And I confide
How long until we start to try
Confront the fear from which we shy
Away and bury eloquence
A poor attempt at common sense
We missed the signs along the way
Through tunnel vision led astray
To see the end but not the means
And feed the ravenous machines
Alive, a lie
Can you decide who lives and dies
And I confide
There is nowhere to hide
So here we stand
On broken land
Forever waiting for a chance to start
A fire fanned
A last demand
Another empty promise tearing us apart
The sand it falls, the seconds pass
And decency is all we ask
From they who throttle and betray
And they who'd rather waste away
So step outside and arm the ghosts
Tell them to find a better host
For dreams of war, destructive hearts
Are safer when they're ripped apart
So here we stand
On broken land
Forever waiting for a chance to start
A fire fanned
A last demand
Another empty promise
Tear us apart
I won't believe it
No turning back to survive
Will you be there when the storms arrive
We whisper in the night
By candlelight they write
But will this final chapter make things right
This place in which we grew
Has turned away from you
So tell me what we're holding on to
So here we stand
On broken land
Forever waiting for a chance to start
A fire fanned
A last demand
Another empty promise tearing us apart

BLIND
03:29
|

Fall within yourself
Senses fade away in suffocation
Willful absence
Paralyzed inside
Searching for a lie; a new sensation
To justify
I can't breathe
Will you save me
I was blind to who I used to be
As memories bleed into dreams
We lost the strength to decide
In the prison of our minds
Trapped beneath the weight of empty purpose
Another wound to cauterize
A temporary source of light
An artificial war to fight
It's just too easy not to analyze
I was blind to who I used to be
As memories bleed into dreams
We lost the strength to decide
In the prison of our minds
(I was blind)
I was blind to who I used to be
(Memories)
As memories bleed into dreams
We lost the strength to decide
In the prison of our minds

Running in circles in search of an end I can't find
Wasting away in a cycle pretending I'm fine
Chase the spiral in, got my head again
No use hiding
Voices lost to me, creeping quietly
Pray that I'll be whole in time
We were meant for more than we deny
This time
And the space you've never been is
Where we draw the line
Searching the valleys and shrouded by ghosts that I've known
Driving me closer to all that is left of my home
Climbing higher now, through the empty clouds
(Wind and wailing)
Crashed upon the ground, hoping I'll be found
Home is hollow, falling down
We were meant for more than we deny
This time
And the space you've never been is
Where we draw the line
Build a new rhyme
Fucking get a life
Running in circles in search of an end I can't find
Wish I could cut out the cycle and say that I'm fine
This pointless arrangement is fading away
With nothing but ashes, a gift for today
We were meant for more
We were meant for more

Beneath the wreckage of an empty house
That burned down long ago
A fading ember lies, reminding us
Of all we've left to show for our progress
The heroes we forget
United in sickness, we march on alone
The time has come to separate
The martyr from the castaway
Step out of line, to disobey
And tell them: "get out of our way"
You had your chance and threw it all away for
This sick romance, and I won't take it anymore
Have one last dance, then get your poison off our floor
And let the ghost of all you've broken show you to the door
Canyons between us and blind to the reason
I heard someone crying, or was it just me
The life we spent, the blood we gave
It rides upon each breaking wave
Stand by the shore, and patiently
You'll watch as they drown in the sea
You had your chance and threw it all away for
This sick romance, and I won't take it anymore
Have one last dance, then get your poison off our floor
And let the ghost of all you've broken show you to the door
And after all the anger fades
We'll hear the call and go our separate ways
A last mistake, just one more day
Too much to take, but not enough to stay
You had your chance and threw it all away for
This sick romance, and I can't take it anymore
Have one last dance, then get your poison off our floor
And let the ghost of all you've broken show you to the door

Drowning in beauty, don't send me up for air
Lost in the aftershock of when you were there
Finally a remedy, you pulled me from the silence
Defiant to this end we share
Suddenly the record skips
And I'm left to crawl
Standing at another cliff
One step and I'll fall
You were the key to something in me
A passion inside that I can't describe
Still in my mind, I feel I need time
To bring myself inside the lines
I can see, so easily - I feel it in your frequency
Distant promise calling me
Suddenly the record skips
And I'm left to crawl
Standing at another cliff
One step and I'll fall
No matter the pain, I'll break and I'll scar
There'll always be another, brighter star
Run from me, broken harmony
Can we be broken harmony
(Harmony)
(Run to me)
Suddenly the record skips
And I'm left to crawl
(Harmony)
Standing at another cliff
One step and I'll fall
No matter the pain, I'll break and I'll scar
There'll always be another, brighter star

RICH OFF THE SICK

You who get rich off the sick
Fuck you
We know what you do
You get rich off the sick, fuck you
(We know what you do)
Come for my grandma, my grandpa, my uncle, my auntie
I'll come for your throat if you come for my family
You count it up, count it up
Bodies are stacking up while you just count it up
Know how you do
Sick of that shit so we coming for you
Trying to escape the fucking
World that you made
It's unliveable
(We'll never)
Let you erase the fucking
Role that you played
And you know we know
(You got rich off the sick, fuck you)
Fuck you, we're done waiting
Go, fund me a new lung
Medicine re-up
You never had enough
Well you best get these pigs on the run
You who get rich off the sick
Fuck you, know what you do
All of that suffering making you wealthy
Greed is a sin, fuck what you're selling
You're trying to escape the fucking
World that you made
It's unliveable
(We'll never)
Let you erase the fucking
Role that you played
And you know we know
(You got rich off the sick)
Sitting at home watching markets crash
Panic buyers eating through the stash
Time is now, don't gotta ask
Get up, take it back
So strike a match
For honesty
Two middle fingers up
Look like peace signs to me
Trying to escape the fucking
World that you made
It's unliveable
(We'll never)
Let you erase the fucking
Role that you played
And you know we know
You get rich off the sick
Fuck you
You got rich off the sick
Fuck you

I've tried to find the light
Deep inside your eyes
Dreams you held were only whispers
My shameful alibi
Trapped inside your mind
Feeding off the darkness inside
Show me what I am
Save me from the hands
That turned my hatred into passion
Free my soul from you
Break myself in two
Throw it all away
So screams will haunt me no more
Can't you see
Stars are all too bright
Feel my way through life
Try my best to light
The fire in the sky
I could never find the light
The light inside your eyes
Dreams you held were only whispers
I, the shameful alibi
Trapped inside your mind
Feeding off the darkness there
And in the clarity
I see another face
All that I thought I'd be
Ends up dragging me down
Paralyzed, trapped in this dream
End this singularity
Save me, break me
Come and sate my hunger
Push me down in
To where I go under
Fire burning
Come on take me further
Save me, break me
Break me
