The dust is left to pollinate Everything we gave birth to So we can only watch it grow in numbers And as the weeds fade in They leave holes to tend to While the earth bleeds in colors that sound like the wind But I won't, no I won't rebuild it I won't let it win It will take it's course and we'll all grow from it
2.
Redact 03:38
No more words the quiet calls out Which kills the birds with hateful shouts In your quest to change What you thinks deranged From the one who comforts your thoughts Because when God is dead We can live again We can thrive again On everything we lost Because the heart is made when love is there But you heart is filled with only fire and air And I can't bring myself to find you Retract all the cries you spill And redact all the lies that thrill you The seed is grown out of hand And the fruit is soiled throughout the land With a smile made of only knavery Because when God is dead We can live again We can thrive again On everything we lost Because the heart is made when love is there But you heart is filled with only fire and air And I can't bring myself to help you Lost and cold With debts to hold The Structure falls around you And takes me down too
3.
Let's wait Until we know the facts Before we give them any credit Let's slow The so called voice of reason To show your sympathy It's only draining me Your selfish reverie The end of days are near And it's all crystal clear to see My backwards thoughts are here To help you feel as bad as me With my selfish reveries To show my sympathy Your battle scars have all been washed They hold as much as your empty thoughts Your intentions show you have been bought and sold By your innocence
4.
The skin is thicker than before Peel it back to open the sores Of every night I could've said more Always sleeping to never talk The only way to keep monotony blocked And hold the fights on the clock The consumption will help to fill The production that always kills Everything until it's still And the dreams aren't adding up The thoughts are blind and the airs corrupt It's never right when it's close up You close your eyes And you realize that I've always been Lost at sea You have shown me the way We'll cross that path another day I guess I'm just hear to stay My heart is beating out of my chest I'll keep on trying but it's second best I'll just wait for you to do the rest You close your eyes And you realize that I've always been Lost at sea You are alone I can't find my way home
5.
The fires have only started And the winds they start to gust While everyone's disheartened I can only show my disgust If I bleed with you We'll be the only few Who learn that troubles happen everywhere And if we steal the rights To all the sights We will never be lost anymore You show the world that you want it And tell them all that it's yours I can do everything to take it Because that is we should be looking towards We will never be lost anymore
6.
The Rapture 03:03
It just makes no sense To carry on with only regrets And they don't seem to mind To burn the bridge with whatever they find Because their hearts are more selfish than their tears And I'll wave goodbye when the rapture is here Their eyes are black and cold They see only what their told Right or wrong they don't care And a tooth for a tooth is only fair Because their hearts are more selfish than their tears And I'll wave goodbye when the rapture is here It just makes no sense
7.
Bullies 09:44
The static burns my fingers to the bone We'll leave it alone wondering why All of them have lost their way to even try The bully stands in front of the line That's why I'll stay back and be perfectly fine For them to lose their way They don't even have to try The backbones and voice have gone away They both devolved as are eyes have strained So we know it's the end Do we even keep it up until then So keep Standing tall There's no need to be a necessity For those who breed with chemistry And we Won't fall Because I'll keep what is left of me To salvage and dignity The choice was made When we stayed away with our shelters And now we fade and barricade All the snakes that make a run For the holy ground The bully stands in front of the line That's why I'll stay back and be perfectly fine For them to lose their way They don't even have to try The backbones and voice have gone away They both devolved as are eyes have strained So we know it's the end Do we even keep it up until then And I'll wait For you to figure this out once more And I'll stay Until you open up those doors And I'll watch As you fail every time And I'll sleep Until you realize you lie Because it takes more than one To kill everything good under the sun And I'll wait For you to cut every cord And I'll stay If you leave the one you adore And I'll watch As you clear the empty space And I'll sleep Until you severe every face Because it takes more than one To kill everything good under the sun Bleeding out Nothing left to shout And I figured out It's never leaving And our hearts they start to fade And are hopes have drained away And my knees they start to shake And there's nothing more to take Bleeding out Nothing left to shout And I figured out It's never leaving I'm only breathing

Call Me 04:56
Needles have a way to crawl in sharp They show their skin They kill the dark It's all we had it's all we knew Just that little spark But now we underestimate We bend to shape we allocate Things that only separate And keep us far apart That time you told me my ghost was gone That time you told me it won't be long To fall away and finally stay Like the ones who watch and breath on your decay I'm not the one to call on And we try top hide these nights Nothing seems to work without the fight Something was lost a long time ago The shadows speak and the demons grow And I'm not the one to call on I'm not ashamed of what we've done And I won't regret what we done And I can't erase what we've done It's over and done it's over and done
9.
Polished 05:27
The silence speaks more than words I think I finally understand Your mind will always shut it out What you can't see past your hands And now I'll wait and wait for you To turn and walk away From something you started with your fists But can't back it up with crooked lists It took time to notice that you live for yourself And it bends me backwards to yell out for help And you don't want, don't need, can't stand anything from me And I have to figure out there's more to life then answering your pleas Belly first we'll get this done as you twist it all around Drive away and don't look back to keep me on solid ground And now your mind slips and fades from the person you were before But when the demons shine they tell you your fine And you lose it even more It took time to notice that you live for yourself And it bends me backwards to yell out for help And you don't want, don't need, can't stand anything from me And I have to figure out there's more to life then answering your pleas Keep what you've accomplished And you'll lose more than just me And sell what you can't polish Even though you should just let it be
10.
I guess I'll see you around Because you never made the call And it's not that big of a town If you recognize me at all Buried alone I have nothing to say And on my grave you pile stones I'm finally free today It won't find light It breaks in flight Nothing's quite right It's meaningless
