Sternum || Structure
03:24
|

Come and break the structure that you carved with your own hands
Knock down the foundations of a sternum built from sand
How can I rebuild with only fragments of a dream
Shatter this illusion of an endless fantasy
I want to hear the words
That will kill me
I need to know how it feels to die
Your vacant eyes
Tell me only that this is now goodbye
I know I've tried
Tell me only when everything's alright
Tear the key from out my chest and shut me out for good
Light the trail behind you so you're not misunderstood
Sew my hands behind me and stitch my wrists together
Pull my mouth apart or I'll hold your name forever
Just come and destroy me
You can just
Destroy me

Defeated

From grace there falls a broken man
Alone he finds the will to stand
Let's raise a glass
From smoke and ashes he will rise
Stronger than his own demise
The flames won't die
You won't get the best of me
In fear
In pain
I know I won't stay defeated
Through sorrow
Through shame
I know I won't stay defeated
Scratch at my eyes
Claw out my sight
Pour out your hate
I will not die
Another victim takes your hatred as a chance to prove their worth
Every fucking beating can only bruise my exterior
Your words were never quite as sharp as the white shields that shelter my heart
That shelter my heart
You're left in the dark
I'm leaving this behind a burden I no longer need
I'm leaving this behind a burden I no longer need
I'm strong enough to survive
My shadows have left me to breathe
I'm strong enough to survive
My shadows have left me to breathe
Stay your hand

Lights In A Dead Crowd
04:06
|

I'll write and write
Undelivered letters between you and I
Cannot hold off the undying desire in my
Heart to hold
A single piece of time in which this story unfolds
A single note
That leaves its everlasting mark upon the earth
When it's scorched hard enough
Let's raise these lights in a dead crowd
Cause I can see only shadows
Let's raise these lights in a dead crowd
Cause I can see only shadows
Fall in my head
Crash in my heart
Will every action just be a part of
Another script
Another line of
Another faulty ingenuous design
Strike a match
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Strike a match
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Let's raise these lights
Let's raise these lights in a dead crowd
Let's raise these lights in a dead crowd
I can only see shadows
I can only see shadows
Pause for a while, I've no breath left
Reenergise, rejuvenate
Revitalise, set doubt aside
It's in my sights, it's in my sights
Time will not wait, I cannot wait
No one will wait, my life's at stake
It takes a toll, I'll take a chance
We'll take a step, you'll take my breath
My hearts alive, more than I've felt
If this is hope, then this is hell
Leave me to burn, leave me alive
Leave me to drown, leave me to die
I cannot fail, I've gotta try
I've gotta try, there's no respite
There's no reserves, just hear my words
In overdrive, I'll raise a light

Darkside
04:01
|

I never feel I'm quite enough
The strength in me is slowly fading away
This force I cannot overcome
The fear I hold is here to stay
Let this whole world go cold
I will not let you go
The anguish that I hold consumes me
It's threatening my mind it just might break
I'm drenched in sweat I'm choking in my sleep
The faceless clamours are just more than I can take
Let this whole world go cold
I will not let you go
Unveil my soul I cannot hide
Stare into me you'll find my darkest side
This is my suffering
I should've known this would be my downfall
Endlessly wishing that I'd had the strength
I am the pariah
To belong with the unbelonging
It's like I never even stood a chance
I am the pariah

Aqualung

You asked me to never leave your side
Not a whisper in the wind
How can I stay afloat
When on my own I just can't swim
You told me to never let you go
The mast's too hard to hold onto
This course I cannot navigate
Without your hand to guide me through
There's silent shipwrecks all around (all around)
I see the ghosts they make no sound
There's silent shipwrecks all around (all around)
I speak to the ghosts they make no sense
Aww yeah
The distance that we've tried
To bridge has failed and died
It's time to build an aqualung
Three years a painful soul
Acquitted of my woes
It's time to build an aqualung
The truth it hurts
It leaves me numb
I knew you'd be the one to end it all
Yet I stood by you and I took the fall
I knew you'd be the one to end it all
Yet I stood by you and I took the fall
Help me to build an aqualung
There's silent shipwrecks all around
I see the ghosts they make no sound
There's silent shipwrecks all around
I am a ghost and I say
Shh
Wait for me (just wait, just wait)
Wait for me (just wait) (I wish you would wait)
Wait for me (just wait, just wait) (where are you)
Wait for me (please wait)
You used to smile
At the sight of me
Now that time is gone
Those days are dead and buried
Dead and buried beneath
I swore I'd never leave your side
Not a footprint to be seen
I'm trying hard to stay in your wake
Your trails too cold, I cannot breathe
I swore I'd never let you go
Give me something to hold onto
My words they fall upon deaf ears
And I'm still calling out to you
