lyrics

You come crawling
Like a wounded child
No need to stop you now
You’re tail’s tucked straight between your
Legs that are failing you now
You’ve broken down
Right before our eyes and it’s no surprise

We believe
We believe in this
The unseen
Feeding on apathy

We can’t fall asleep while stuck behind the wheel
While others struggle to maintain content to suffer
As we move on
From the past our grave concessions will weigh heavy on our hearts
But we’ll push on until we reach beyond
We seek the truth

Will the hardened
Kindly place their scowls
A justified recourse
Convenient half-truths
Can you swallow
Being left behind
A twisted photograph doctored and leaked I’m fine

We believe
We believe in this
The unseen
Feeding on apathy

You’re falling down and wasting time
Behind the ruins
The choice is yours I won’t persuade
Behind the ruins

You try to drag our dreams through the mud
While they’re still treading down our backs

We believe in this
Life we won’t fall in line
Or be left behind
Here with nothing to hide
We won’t be denied

You’re falling down and wasting time
You’re falling down

I know you aren’t speaking true
Old enough to finally see through
The bullshit of better days
With open eyes

I love it. Have to agree with still bummed: this packs an emotional punch but rocks hard. I've played this whole album repeatedly over the last week which is unusual for me. Exhilarating, poignant, intelligent, melodic. Robin Ward
