The Nature of It

Spine, break
Knees, buckle
Fashion you into a doll
Pensive heart, chain it down
In the morning time
Trudge through empty struggles
This is how you survive
Ancient voices in your mind
Let's make a compromise
Vices come in the night
They hold you tight
A cry for what you left behind
The world extends its hand
The world extends its hand
The world extends its hand
The world extends its hand
I curse your throne
And there will be no more salvation
Vices come in the night
And they hold you tight
Do you cry for what you left to die?
The world extends its hand
The world extends its hand
The world extends its hand
And you burn the olive branch
Why do you do that?
The world extends its hand
And you burn the olive branch
Why do you do that?
The world extends its hand
And you burn the olive branch
Why do you do that?
The world extends its hand
And you burn the olive branch
Why do you do that?
The world extends its hand
And you burn the olive branch
Do that
Why?

I'm Still Here

Frostbitten dear
Lost in your own shell
Halfway between heaven and hell
Hell
Sheets of ice drive us apart
And all of the bitterness in your heart
Your heart
Where do we go from here?
I'm still here
The wreckage here too
I can't say that I'm ready
To let go of you
To let go of you
Sometimes I ponder the lives we lead
The hearts we encounter
The people that we meet
The people we meet
Meet
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

My Way

What were we born into?
Watched over by a God with no face
In a claimed space
Ours to lose
When the wave hits
Pass over me
It wasn't meant to be
Like this
We are not all born equal
This I know for sure
This I know for sure
Bodies climbing bodies climbing bodies
To try outrun the tide
To try outrun the tide
Young friends
Trampling over themselves
They can't take it anymore
They can't take it anymore
And young men
Turning on the ones they love
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
The agency
Taken from me
I think I feel sick
I think I feel sick
Because
Feels like this great divide will really be the death of me
And in the roughest part of the city you'll find the ghost I leave
'Cause everyone I know
Lives on a private road
In a house that their parents own
Tell me to "sit tight"
"Your time will come alright"
But if it's really meant for me why can't I sleep at night?
It sort of feels like
The thing I love most
Would be the thing that takes my life
Give me my way out
Give me my way out
Before it's just some sad story you won't even talk about
Give me my way out
Give me my way way way out
Young friends
Trampling over themselves
They can't take it anymore
They can't take it anymore
And young men
Turning on the ones they love
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
Give me my way
Give me my way out
Give me my way
Give me my way out
Give me my way
Give me my way out
Give me my way
Give me my way out
Give me my way
Give me my way out
Give me my way
Give me my way out
Give me my way
Give me my way out (x7)

Don't Try to Comfort Me

Don’t try to comfort me
This silence is hungry
Could swallow us whole
My aggressor, my lifeline
Let me let myself down
Never let me grow old
Let me let myself down
Never let me grow old
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Back
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Back
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
But don’t try to comfort me (x2)
I can’t feel what I do
So I turned it into a picture
My aggressor, my lifeline
I let it burn me out so it glows bright for you
But
You can’t say I don’t try my best
To be less of a mess
To cause less distress
I have an instinct
I need to be seen
I need to be mean
I need to be seen
You can’t say I don’t try my best
To be less of a mess
To cause less distress
I have an instinct
I need to be mean
To make sure I’m seen
I really hate me when I’m mean so
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Back
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Back
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
But don’t try to comfort me (x2)
