My cities are collapsing to the ground, every building that I've built
Will be burned by dawn as I stare in disbelief
Oh the pavement's filled with cracks, and my skies have turned to black
This throne weighs so heavy
The throne that I stood atop is crumbling down beneath my very feet
All that I've worked for is gone
All I can do is panic and try
Just try to wash the blood from my hands, I've shed all my skins
And now I'm left with these pure shades of red
But maybe I can find a way to change and rebuild every city
I must stop, or I could lose it all cuz' I hold this world in the palm of my hand
I've set these cities ablaze, but I can't let them burn to the ground
I can't let them burn
But maybe I can find a way to change and rebuild every city
I must stop, or I could lose it all cuz' I hold this world in the palm of my hand
The people stand, and sing it out with me
They keep singing oh oh
I lit the match, and I watched it burn, my cities ablaze, my cities ablaze
I shook the ground, when I spoke my words, my cities ablaze and I lost the world
2. Currents
But they still pull me down, down, down
I can see the shore within my grasp, but it's only a matter of time
Before I sink or swim, as the tides keep tearing at my limbs
My body's an anchor that's slowly sinking down
This abyss is all I see for miles and miles
These currents surround me and grab me by the neck they won't let go
Please set me free from the tide
If I become part of the machine
That is slowly killing me
I will make my bed below where no one will hear me
Tell me this isn't it, tell me I still have a chance to make it out
These ocean waves keep crashing over me again
Will I be saved, or will I make my way to my ocean grave
There's a piece of me still stuck here at the bottom of the sea
But if I keep my eyes to the water,
This ocean's going to be the death of me
This ocean will swallow me whole
These ocean waves keep crashing over me again
Will I be saved, or will I make my way to my ocean grave
But if I can keep my head above the water, I might make it out
But They still pull me down, down, down
3. The Unsung
I've seen this place all too many times, and it's wearing thin
But you leave with a glance that I can't forget, and it burns into my very skin
It leaves a mark that won't go away
This isn't love, when you fly away to a place I cannot find
So spread your wings, come back to me or just leave and bury me tonight
Take air into your wings and fly away
Finish what you started and bury me
But I'm slipping in over and over again
I'm aching for something I never had
But they said, she used to sing out to everyone
So I can't stop until she swells her chest and sings to me
This isn't love, when you fly away to a place I cannot find
So spread your wings, come back to me or just leave and bury me tonight
Now the wind fills your wings, and you've buried my grave
Your song's in my ears and it still haunts me
Bury me tonight
4. My Silhouette
Sleep has become my escape from reality, she's in my dreams
Someone wake me up because this isn't real
It's just a game that I can't escape
Over again, this cruel cycle repeats and repeats
I grabbed her hand but it slowly slipped away
Someone wake me up, Can someone wake me up
She moves with me in my dreams, but I'm foolish to believe that this is the way it ends
I see her Silhouette, but it's just a test for me to leave the past with the past
She moves with me now, but it's just a test
I must stop this cycle and cut out my silhouette
I smile as her lips, brush my neck
But I know that this is, just a vision in my head
Kiss me in my dreams, if you're really done with me
It's too fitting to disrupt, oh can someone wake me up
She moves with me in my dreams, but I'm foolish to believe that this is the way it ends
I see her Silhouette, but it's just a test for me to leave the past with the past
But you can't change me
But she's pulling me back
This cruel cycle repeats and repeats
I grabbed her hand but it slowly slipped away
She moves with me in my dreams
5. Inhale Exhale
Breathe slowly, Inhale exhale, a path I've already walked, but I just can't stop
It's too familiar, this same routine, as I live day by day, it slowly eats at me
My bones and my tongue ache, from my failed attempts to make some sense
Of why I won't let you out of my sight
Cuz' I'll never taste a love that could be as sweet as I had with you
So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move
Breathe slowly, Inhale exhale, but it's not me you want, will I ever stop
I tried to believe that you would never share this bed with anyone but me
But now I see that I can't change you
My bones and my tongue ache, from my failed attempts to make some sense
But I'm done trying, to make you see that
I'll never taste a love that could be as sweet as I had with you
So bury that trace of affection for me, and I'll force my feet to move
Bury me tonight
6. Split The Sea
I used, to split the sea with the air I exhaled from my lungs
Now I, can barely breathe, as my feet sink deeper, and my heart grows weaker
Bitter sweet is the taste that fills my mouth
I've known it now for three long years
I've been craving the taste of the air
It's all I have to keep me alive
Bring to me this air, and let it wrap it's arms around me
I feel it sway against my body as I smile
So fill these lungs, let's make this last
cuz' I don't know if I will ever feel this way
Cuz' I finally know, where to go and it's been here from the start
Cuz' I finally know, where I'm home and it's been here from the start
I will not stop until I fill my lungs
I will not stop until I find my home
Fill my lungs now
Fill my lungs
Bitter sweet is all I taste
Bring me back to life
Bring to me this air, and let it wrap it's arms around me
I feel it sway against my body as I smile
So fill these lungs, let's make this last
cuz' I don't know if I will ever feel this way again
oh I'd split the sea again if I could
These scars are proof that I've felt love in all of it's best and all of it's worst
this is the day that I know, that I'm finally home, but the bitter sweet still stays
I'm ready to breathe again
