lyrics

Painting on the face
Of common place
Inside it all, I brood

And behind it's wall,
I'm cursed to fall
A world beyond, drifts away

Cutting ties
I feel, we're so alone
No longer wish to thrive

But in between
The lines, I'm out of time
I won't let go of it all
Not now, not ever

Sign away
A little piece every time
Until there's nothing left of the real you
Don't know why
Can't appeal
There's no reaching a deal
Not a dent
Not a crease
Just torment
And no release

Pushing through
The dreams
Undo the seams
Unravelling slowly

And days on days
Return to a sullen gaze
Shrink into an inner space

Answer to a name
An empty frame
Lost inside
This nothing place
No where, no how

Sign away
A little piece every time
Until there's nothing left of the real you
Don't know why
Can't appeal
There's no reaching a deal
Can't relent
Can't reveal
Just demand
And wait to heal
Push and pull
Play your games
A napalm breath
I'll touch the flames

Bathing in light
A beacon in a never-ending night
In a simple way, we're free
To give it all away
To burn it all alive
Wipe all the ashes from our eyes

You just never want to see
It could be me
It could end my life
A new dawn, already overrun
And there is nothing left to take
It's the end that we've made
It's what we deserve

Rain your fire down on me
Reach your hands to the sky
Close your eyes and pray

Leave me alone
