Flags

He turned a blind eye
With convictions that he swore
Claimed there was a new age
Time to declare a war
The signal in the crowd
Commands their attention
He's got all the answers
And flawed intentions
So when it all comes down
whose banner do you march under?
When it all comes down
whose flag will you fly?
When it all comes down
what kind of people will you fight for?
When it all comes down
who will stand by your side?
Absolved himself of blame
Integrity's for the weak
Blind them with the message
And the power that he seeks
Turn up all the noise
'Til they only hear his voice
His twisted fantasy
Your newfound destiny
Keep the blinders on
Leave the curtains drawn
You're shielded from the fear
Of the conscience in your ear
You've fallen in so deep
Can't summon you from sleep
Delusion is your master
Happily ever after?

For You
03:41
|

Oh you my beloved child
Right here next to me
But out there, out where beasts run wild
They set the monsters free
Can you hear the sirens warn
It will be the darkest storm
Stand back as worlds divide
Stay with me by my side
All the world that’s bright and blue
All the world that waits for you
Shining eyes, pure and true
In due time, what waits
A hollow promise can’t undo
Empty gifts we left for you
Shining eyes, distant blue
Where’s the wish I made for you
Some day as it will dawn
One day within your grasp
All the many wicked things
We never did take back
Still I know it in your eyes
Burn like shining stars
You would light the way
And the world can still be yours
In a stolen hour
When I can take you in
The darkness that surrounds us fades
And I can see again
From the distance in the night
I take an eager breath
And wish upon a star above
And beg it will be kept

Unsafe and Sound
05:37
|
|||
All the lights have burned down
Now we’re lost, unsafe and sound
In the dark without a course
Shipwrecked on a jagged shore
I dream of you and of yesterday
But wake up here, a castaway
A starless sky where no one knows
Will this be how our story goes
Please can you tell me
Which way is home
I’ve been lost so long
And I need to know
Please can you tell me
Why we move so slow
I’ve been here so long
And I need to know
There’s a song I can’t remember
All the notes run upside down
I stop and try to hear your voice
So I’ll be safe and sound
But the rats in the walls
Seem to know my name
They speak to me in broken tongue
And haunt of yesterday
My mind replays the moment
When we locked away the keys
Shut down the lights in the distance
As we went down on our knees
Now I see the waves are coming
When they wash up on the sand
Will they drag us far away from here
Out across the wasteland

(Not) Sorry
06:05
|

Seeing the silver crown crack
Your false dreams shattered by fact
Look how the landscape lies sacked
As we confront our fade to black
I remember the words you said
I recall right where we hid
I remember the times we bled
And I still feel what you did
Sorry, not sorry
I take nothing back
Sorry, not sorry
I’ll grant
You no slack
Sorry, not sorry
I take nothing back
Inside your backward bubble
There’s room for nothing but trouble
A sprung trap that bears no struggle
My pities have all crumbled
I’m sorry that the words don’t fit
Into lies you can’t even admit
Not sorry your world will end
Between us there is no mend
Watching as your fake globe’s smashed
Hollow lines clatter and thrash
As your screams shatter and crash
Fall like mountains composed in trash
And I remember the words you said
I recall where the torches spread
I remember what their lights led
And I still know what you did
Not sorry
Not even close

Snake Eyes
03:58
|
|||
You conjured a world
Of liars and doom
Pushed away reason
Til the end consumed
A victory march
Dance over the truth
Though they cheer your name
I’ll see you soon
Just a few more hours
Til sun up at noon
Drops a darkened fate
At midnight’s bloom
The cold black snake eyes
Know the wager for you
Throw your final score
I’ll see you soon
The truth is unkind
But am not blind
I’ll see you soon
Skeletal hands
Reach for you
The untangled sins
Have been exhumed
You buried the stakes
But couldn’t subdue
The judge rises up
I’ll see you soon
The sky falls down
A desperate measure
Put it in your pocket
And think your so clever
No need for alarm
When it’s been your pleasure
It’s nothing to you
But a selfish endeavor

Mayhem Into Ashes
03:58
|
|||
It’s time to shut my eyes
I’m worn down to the bone
My sorrows fade to dust
And now I can come home
Every night I dreamt
Before the daybreak
I’d find you again
In the wish that I make
Mayhem into ashes
Is it time to dream
I longed to be with you
To hold you next to me
Mayhem into ashes
I’ll stay the whole night through
Time has no meaning
When I lie here with you
I touch the frozen ground
Where you kept my heart
Feel the bitter cold
That has left its mark
Blinded by the winter
I yearned for your embrace
But I found no warmth
In that darkened place
This machine is crumbling
Broken rusted down
I’ve fallen to the earth
Into the frozen ground
I can feel you near me
In these fragile bones
We lie here together
And now I am home

Having you
Is not the same
As wanting you
And wanting you
is a terrible thing
You were exactly like you said you were
that was good enough for some
Not good enough for me
Not good enough for everyone
Through the hurt and the lies
There was fire in your eyes
To burn those you hated
To burn those you loved
You were only ever in it for yourself
Is this at long last rock bottom?
If not, the top is gonna split.
There is no way to overreact to this.
Your love and hate
Was just a game a game
You always thought you'd win
Yo built a wall to keep me out
I want a wall to keep you in
I wonder if you comprehend the damage left behind
Will you ever feel remorse?
Will it ever cross your mind?
You were only ever in it for yourself.
I get what I want
I take what I need
but it was all up to you
To plant the seed
You raised the stakes
There was no one else
Can't you see that you made
What you saw in yourself
Having you
Is not the same
As wanting you
And wanting you
was a terrible thing

Misspent Youth
05:00
|
|||
My misspent youth
Was barely misspent
I clung to misshapen ideals
I've got few sins
for which to repent
And I don't really know how to feel
If all I leave behind is love
The people, the art and the songs
If all I leave behind is love
It's enough for me to belong
I know I've made
Too many mistakes
And now I'm halfway gone
They weren't the mistakes I wanted to make
And what have I got to show for?
