lyrics

Erased
Absolved
A scenic view of wasted space
A taciturn delivery, spoken from the grave
Replaced
Reborn
Our listless tongues so resolute
We lay in wait to wash the meaning from the pain
A wasted word this time of day
A broken puzzle piece we’ve shoved into its place
Portrayed
Forlorn
A silken thread beneath the glass
A crooked stone with lines that cut beneath the waves
A state in time so insecure
A blade of grass or porcelain

Fuck it, waste not want more.

Nowhere to hide
It just takes some time
Such simple and heartless dismay

Pray to something ‘til i've got scars on my knees and no hope
I just can't recall, I just can't reclaim peace
Shake and shudder until the last gates break open or hold strong
I just can’t reclaim, I just can't recall simplicity.

Let’s wake the sun
A crown to rest at dusks display,
And every time around gives meaning to our days
A glass to warm our dark desires
We’ll lick our wounds and maybe burn in our own fires.
