lyrics

How could I face the fear of losing everything
in the pursuit of a home built on quicksand?
My only wish is that I might linger all of my days above it.

But how can we keep it here?
I don't want to fall again beneath the weight
of this heartache we’ve stayed in.
There's no guarantee that anybody else knows any better.

Think I was bound to tell you it’s all a lie.
It’s all illusory, the calcification
of the visions in your eye.

Fill our time with something tangible.
Is it enough to count your presence alone?
We could do anything.
Sometimes in dreams I find that place of peace,
where longing ends.

There’s ash in the atmosphere, with looming hurricanes.
Uncivil wars of broken parts and secondhand tanks and gasoline.
It's hard to see the light on the horizon.

So why don’t we disappear?
Untethered by the pain behind an age of reflections.
It's no man’s land, a senseless tragedy.
Is what I had to give worth a damn anymore?

But in time I'll show you it’s all a lie.
Occult mythology, personifications
of the bodies in the sky.

Fill our time with something tangible.
Is it enough to count your presence alone?
We could do anything.
Sometimes in dreams I find that place of peace,
where longing ends.

Fill our time with something tangible.
It’s not enough to count your presence alone.
Give in. The suffering, in time will ease
and you’ll feel the release
from moving on.

Don’t write it off.
It’s just a lesson from a bended place in time
and realize you’re born in free fall.

Don’t write it off.
It’s just a lesson from a bended place in time,
reprised and mourned on the run.

Don’t write it off.
I know you’re missing this.
The moment seemed to rhyme.
I've realized we’re fated to collide again.

Don’t write it off.
It’s just a lesson from a bended place in time
And realize you’re born.

Everything you thought you wanted,
Everywhere you wandered through the night,
Whatever prize you found inside
meant nothing without love.

And every fear that kept you running,
Everyone you wanted to awake
Would only bare their fangs for you
when up against the wall.
