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

If you don't believe, trust me you will

. . .


Lungs turn to rust, turn to soot
While you smother yourself
Taste of your mouth is of smoke
Lip gloss under his belt
Somebody help

Charred away your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves tangled in twine
This womb, it will survive
In time

Pull out what's left of your hair
Is that lace in your skin?
Focused and fixed on your ribs
Would you break from within?

Somebody send (help)
Oh I know
But I can't take this

Charred away your flesh and bones
This doll's been brought to life
Wrapped up in orchid leaves tangled in twine
This womb, it will survive
In time

. . .


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

. . .


Break the code of silence
Forget your conscience
And baby, you'll be fine

Grab a book of matches
Half-empty gas can
And get these hands untied

You made me who I am

Blame it all on the process, darling
Draw my blood from stone
Sorry about the mix up, sweetie
But this had to be said
You made me who I am

Lift your broken posture
Reset your shoulder
And plant you in the soil

I recall the moment
That I first struck and
Your twisted limbs recoiled

You made me who I am

Blame it all on the process, darling
Draw my blood from stone
Sorry about the mix up, sweetie
But this had to be said
You made me who I am

You think you've seen the worst of me
Well think again
You made me who I am
Your body slumps over a hole I dug for when
You made me who I am

. . .


Dig me up
'Cause I'm under attack
And the trees have stopped
Growing roots under the cracks
If you feel like dying
Please knock on my door

What happens doesn't leave this room
And it stays between just me and you
I just need some time to let this all soak in

Dig me up
'Cause I'm under attack
And the trees have stopped
Growing roots under the cracks
If you feel like dying
Please knock on my door

I can see it through your bloodshot eyes
You're the perfect fit for my devise
I don't wanna make the same mistakes again

Dig me up
'Cause I'm under attack
And the trees have stopped
Growing roots under the cracks
If you feel like dying
Please knock on my door

And this tourniquet has ripped my chest in two

Dig me up
'Cause I'm under attack
And the drugs that you're giving me
Are holding me back
If you feel like dying
Please knock on my door

Dig me up
'Cause I'm under attack

. . .


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
