Walk into flames that you start with yourselves
And get help while you can to pull meat from bones
Burn down your homes
Create a diversion to buy yourself time
To give thanks to the ones who are all alone
You're all alone
These hives, they break into your skin like a thief
And they rob you of life while you sleep
So you cut and you cut 'til there's nothing left
This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped when time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
If you don't believe in God you will now
I've got hooks and a chain that will fit you well
So save your air
I've locked your personal things in a box
And if you try to scream I won't ever tell
I won't ever tell
These hives, they break into your skin like a
This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped when time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
It's time to find what we believe
I hope you save those you've deceived
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
You can't hold your breath forever
This paper posed as photographs
This promise snapped when time elapsed
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
Last chance to find what we believe
I hope you save those you've deceived
You think you do
But you don't know me at all
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me I'm indestructible
Tell me my faults
Tell me I'm lying to myself
Tell me I'm wrong
Tell me what's happened to all my friends
I've been lying here for the longest time
And I don't know where it ends
But I hope you've made it long enough 'cause
I'm never gonna wait for someone else
You need to know that's why
We're the ones that brought this on ourselves
Maybe in time
Maybe we'll get all over this
Maybe in time
We'll get back to a place where
You can safely
Tell me I'm wrong
I hope you can say all this to me
Tell me my faults
It's all you can say, it's all you can say
But this moment where I lost control
And you happened to be there
And I hope it lasted long enough 'cause
I'm never gonna wait for someone else
You need to know that's why
We're the ones that brought this on ourselves
Don't walk away 'cause
I'm never gonna wait for someone else
This world will always let you down
But rest assured
I'm on it too
Singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'm never gonna wait for someone else
You need to know that's why
We're the ones that brought this on ourselves
Don't walk away 'cause
I'm never gonna wait for someone else
You need to know that I'm
Never gonna wait for someone else
Sit down
I've got a story to tell you
Dare you
To guess how it ends
Notice
The lack of my expressions
As blood and ether blend
Do you know how it feels to get cut down?
Do you know, do you know, do you know?
How far do you wanna go over?
How far do you wanna take all of this?
How far do you wanna go over?
Lead me
Into this conversation
Tell us
What you've got to say
You'll be
Great for my collection
Sister, this all ends today
Do you know how it feels to get cut down?
Do you know, do you know, do you know?
How far do you wanna go over?
How far do you wanna take all of this?
How far do you wanna go over?
And I'll lead you to the end
Where the branches meet the sky
And I'll tell you that I always loved you
Then I'll show you why
Don't take me on
How far do you wanna go over?
How far do you wanna take all of this?
How far do you wanna go over?
Hold me down
'Cause I'm 'bout to fly by the seat of my pants
I can see the road through the crows
Picking off the flesh off the palm of your hands
You could be the queen of my dreams
If you'd pull the leaves of the teeth of my rake
Would you just hold me down?
'Cause I'm 'bout to makeshift another mistake
And I need a foolproof plan to clean up
All this mess I've made
But I'm running out of steam
It's not your love I want
But your breath is all I need
To tie this off
Sew me shut
'Cause I got a gash on the side of my lip
I'll look like a king at his knees
On the wrong end of the governor's whip
And I need a foolproof plan to clean up
All this mess I've made
But I'm running out of steam
It's not your love I want
But your breath is all I need
If we can't work this out
You're not leaving here alive
To tie this off
Take my pulse
There's a slight knot and a swell in my glands
I can feel the cold in my throat
Working in ways not to disrupt my plans
And I need a foolproof plan to clean up
All this blood I've spilled
It's you I've killed
This mess I've made
But I'm running out of steam
It's not your love I want
But your breath is all I need
If we can't work this out
You're not leaving here alive
I've got your hands and feet
And the colors from your eyes
To tie this off
Here's an olive branch
And a hope for second chances
Please don't go hungry tonight
Hands and knees I crawl
'Cause Lord knows how hard I fall
I can't feed without you tonight
It's alright
Would you break me down?
And get off your knees
Would you run away
Run away into the void?
In the face of death
There's still force in your last breath
I know it's hard, I know it's hard
Would you break me down?
And get off your knees
Would you run away
Run away into the void?
Would you take these dreams
And get out of here?
Would you run away
Run away into the void?
But these moods don't nearly take me
Like they used to, like they used to
And these moods don't nearly shake me
Like they used to, like they used to
When we're all just flesh and bones
Hardly living like we're told
But these moods don't nearly shake me
I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
And I've been all around
So take me home, so take me home
Danny's older now
And his boots have filled with salt
His life has changed somehow
The earth is as new
As the clothes he outgrew
Four longer years
On the great blue unknown
He's renewed that he had all along
I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
And I've been all around
So take me home, so take me home
If our brooms could speak
And our swords could raise themselves
Our lives lay incomplete
All brushed aside for a greater empire
Leave what we have to our God up above
The ocean's allowed us to all that we've done
I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
And I've been all around
So take me home, so take me home
Take me home
(Her promise is all around, all around)
Take me home
(Her promise is all around, all around)
Take me home
(Her promise is all around, all around)
Take me home
I've been on a ship
Destined for greater things than these
And I've been all around
So take me home, so take me home
Seize the moment, fire away
And get off these sordid streets
In a house of blackened letter days
You'll get better and better to me
Don't cover your eyes if you can't see
Stand on the ground, and get out of this weather
It's something I know you need
And what makes it all right is what makes it all better
What slips through our hands we keep
Lose your focus on the stairs
And I'm standing on both sides
There's a special moment, no one's there
But it doesn't get noticed in time
Don't cover your eyes if you can't see
Stand on the ground, and get out of this weather
It's something I know you need
And what makes it all right is what makes it all better
What slips through our hands we keep
I can tell you've been here before
Don't cover your eyes, don't cover your eyes
I can tell you've been here before
Don't cover your eyes, don't cover your eyes
