lyrics

We’ll reach for our dreams until this dead world disappears. Shake away your fears; they will only bring you tears. We bite our tongues through rejection and recourse. But we will never back down, because our hearts are the source, our guides on this mangled course. The only resource we have left, keeping your innocence will not help you win this battle. I pray for the day I will no longer have to lie awake or straight to your face. Follow me through the hands of misery. The clock tower shall keep my heart on beat. The path is much too steep to even stop for sleep. I can’t keep myself faithful for much longer. I’m bound to drown in a sea of my own lies. No amount of doubt will ever devour me. What do I need to do to make you see? This is all I have; this is all I can ever be. This is the air I breathe. This is the ground beneath my feet. Don’t weep for me, there is no hope left. Just the air I breathe and ground beneath my feet. Endlessly I wander praying for defeat and wishing downfall on us all. This is the only way you’ve learned to deal with life here. To lie, cheat and steal. Fear what you cannot feel, and try to hold on to what you think is real. I will savor our undoing as if it were my last deal.
