process your bitterness
make it your shrine
i guess you were right
make it your name
put it in lights
to mesmerize yourself time after time
the same dead air that's killing me
still breathes new life into you
tie us to the ground
break our will to stand alone
keep your shadow on our backs for shelter
pry my eyes and save my life
save my life
before i learn to fly
pry my eyes and save my life
all that you've created
will come crashing down
all crashing down

i'm becoming the eclipse
the empty absolution
a wide-eyed relic
a promise made to burn through anyone
your words stopped making sense
the day you turned me against infinity
for a second i erased myself
define this missing moment
arise and find sincerity
just walk away and don't look back
just walk away and don't look back
this veil of ashes
can't hide my reflection
obscuring every
last shining memory
i'm burning myself alive
and turning reason to dust
learning to live again
learning to crawl again
define this missing moment
arise and find sincerity
just walk away and don't look back
just walk away and don't look back
beneath it all
you watched me fall
and pointed me
the wrong way home
i'm burning myself alive
and turning reason to dust
learning to live again
learning to crawl again

letters to a falling sky

i wrote to you again today
and i meant every foolish word
these letters to a falling sky
still unanswered
i guess i'll believe in everything you haven't said
return to me anything you might have meant
this endless drowning comedy
is burning out and losing its grace
and everyone's singing it's alright
spilling over and spinning right out of my hands
everyone's singing it's alright
i guess i'll believe in everything you haven't said
return to me anything you might have meant
i'm falling apart before the blank page again
becoming a part of your blank expressions again
i barely remember what fueled this futile sense of wonder
the closest elements pull further away
a whisper, a signal, a cold and desperate withering
the closest elements pull further away
i guess i'll believe in everything you haven't said
return to me anything you might have meant
i'm falling apart before the blank page again
becoming a part of your blank expressions again
the loudest sound is worlds away
the clearest picture has been erased
the unsaid word washed in rain
i wrote to you again today
answer me, falling sky
tell me why you've always been a part of me

this argument is going nowhere
you're turning up the radio and tying not to care
you're trying to forget
at least you're thinking at all
while strangers write your favorite songs
you're running out of empathy
and heroes and machinery
and listening to that monster on the radio
make the first verse matter
with a chorus to really drive it home
set the controls for the heart of the sun
and make believe that song will never end
the second verse should echo the first
perfectly, an effigy and a smile
set the controls for the heart of the sun
and make believe that song will never end
that song will never end
all is not lost
just forget that song
all is not lost
just forget that song and bury that smile
all is not lost
just turn off that radio and bury that smile
let it go
just let it go
set the controls for the heart of the sun
and make believe anything more than this
...oneminusone...
only this silence impaled now in static
is left here to witness
remaining, reminding us to fade out
your coldest summer to fade out
say anything
say anything
make this ghost seem still alive
by design your falling morning star is barely breathing
i will piece together
this sea of shattered glass
and try and replace this empty space
not this time not any more
haunting and familiar
and meaning everything
try and replace this empty space
not this time not any more
only this reckoning is burning brighter
and left here to wish away
reminding us to fade out
your coldest summer to fade out
say anything
say anything
make this ghost seem still alive
by design your falling morning star is barely breathing
i will piece together
this sea of shattered glass
and try and replace this empty space
not this time not any more
haunting and familiar
and meaning everything
try and replace this empty space
not this time not any more
try and replace this empty space
not this time not any more
it's still remaining
still reminding
still remaining

we have all been scratching at the walls
of this ghost town for much too long
so sick of this parade
so sick of the taste of it all
i know what you are
winter shines from behind your eyes
i've already seen what it's done to you
and all the solutions you've gone through
an everlasting chance to forget
but only for so long
every footstep feels like a hundred years
the palest silhouette, the only evidence
when it all collapsed
i thought it could never last
i know what you are
winter shines from behind your eyes
i've already seen what it's done to you
and all the solutions you've gone through
an everlasting chance to forget
but only for so long
can't we start this over?
i've already seen what it's done to you

cry another dagger in my back and make believe
i will hold my last breath for the final chapter
tell me when it's over
we'll watch it all disappear and drown me as well
dismantle the foundation
at least in your mind you'll keep me alive
as you kill the light and suffocate the skyline
the space between us grows but i'm not dead yet
this silver sun setting one last time
we'll see it all through brand new eyes
what has this become?
this overwhelming quiet
my faith goes up in flames
my faith goes up in flames
release that weight from your heart
i've already set it free from mine
cast that anchor aside and cut the lifeline
tell me when it's over
we'll watch it all disappear and drown me as well
so this is how it ends
i'll hold my last breath
and take the next step towards forever
dismantle the foundation
at least in your mind you'll keep me alive
as you kill the light and suffocate the skyline
the space between us grows but i'm not dead yet
this silver sun setting one last time
we'll see it all through brand new eyes
what has this become?
this overwhelming quiet
my faith goes up in flames
my faith goes up in flames
so this is how it ends?
so this is how it ends
so this is how it ends
i'll hold my last breath
and take the next step towards forever
