The same fear as you
We’re all here alone
Now I’m a World War
Broken swords
These dreams of ours
Got up and walked out
To take a look around
Gave a wave when they said goodbye
Burned by the sun
Burned by the sun
And we all will be undone
Burned by the sun
The cold ground we knew
Cracked and crumbled
Take my past with you
All those blue skies
Shone on my face
Till they gave up the ghost
Playing like I could catch the moon
Right here you’ll blind me
Burned by the sun
Burned by the sun
And we all will be undone
Burned by the sun

Out of Here
02:59
|
|||
I’m just a whisper
And I feel I’m spread too thin
The sun dried the water
And the mountainside caved in
I never cried out
From the flames
Don’t want to wait for death
I hear it coming
Maybe I’ll catch my breath
As soon as we get out of here
The creatures in my head
They’ll still be humming
Long after we’re both dead
We’re never getting out of here
I saw you flicker
With the rushing of the wind
We heard the thunder
As the end of things begins
I tried to pry off
These chains
Don’t want to wait for death
I hear it coming
Maybe I’ll catch my breath
As soon as we get out of here
The skies are turning red
Now I feel nothing
We’re hanging by a thread
We’re never getting out of here
The creatures in my head
They’ll still be humming
Long after we’re both dead
We’re never getting out of here

Too Far Gone
04:05
|
|||
We could shine lie the moon
It’s already catching fire like some forgotten room
And we could watch as the whole house burns down
We don’t have to turn the car around
We’re old enough to know we’re not immune
Say we’ll be fine
Before we get too far gone
It’s alright to lie
I just need some light
To get me through this long, dark night
I’m no heavier than you
So throw my bones on the fire and I will bloom
The flames are indifferent to the truth
They only hold onto the souls that they consume
And we could watch as the whole world burns down
Now that we’re the only ones around
We’re bold enough to see this thing through
Say we’ll be fine
Before we get too far gone
It’s alright to lie
I just need some light
To get me through this long, dark night

The Wreckage
02:33
|
|||
We were broken
Heavy as the sun
Before we’d ever wandered on
I tried to warn you
Though the trail is long
I would fail you again
Can you come out of this
Still holding the heart of me?
Can we wake up from this
And pull ourselves out of the wreckage?
I lost hope
The night forever gone
In truth I never was alone
They stood before us
And you would cut them down
As I failed you again
Can you come out of this
Still holding the heart of me?
Can we wake up from this
And pull ourselves out of the wreckage?

Nothing So Strange
03:02
|
|||
Don’t you say your time has come
Looking back past traffic cones
And we’re lost from our homes
We’re like dust and we’re brushed to the ground
Still this haze keeps clinging around
So we’ll drive through the fire
There’s nothing so strange
As when half of you fades
Nothing so strange
There’s nothing so strange
Don’t slip away I won’t do this alone
All our days lay crushed like bone
And we’re lost from our homes
All this rust still peels from our skin
Both of us can feel it wear thin
And the ghosts will come in
There’s nothing so strange
As when half of you fades
Nothing so strange
There’s nothing so strange

Shade from the Light
03:00
|
|||
My hands they listen
The earth makes no sound
I slither onward
Crawling on the ground
The river moans
Swallowed into the soil
If I should fall behind
Say you won’t weep
You won’t weep for me
Find shade from the light
Find peace when you sleep
Some peace without me
My skin crackles
And my ankles are bound
I slither onward
I can’t turn around
These splintered bones
And this blood will boil
If I should fall behind
Say you won’t weep
You won’t weep for me
Find shade from the light
Find peace when you sleep
Some peace without me

Overcome by Silence
02:38
|
|||
When the world is shattered
Like some crystal sphere
And everything in between the cracks of the earth is swallowed
We lived not just in some vast fields
Or dense streets
We lived free
And when the world is overcome by silence
Nothing said in the end
And when the world is overcome by silence
We’ll begin again

Burned by the sun
And we all will be undone
Burned by the sun

Take my past with you
All those blue skies

Till they gave up the ghost
Playing like I could catch the moon
Right here you’ll blind me
Burned by the sun
Burned by the sun
And we all will be undone
Burned by the sun
