BUILT ON GRAVES
I close my eyes to see what's real
But there's nothing, there's nothing there
Screamed at this world, both arms outstretched
It just laughed and I coughed blood
I've waged a war that I can't win
And all these walls are closing in
Could it be me, could it be so
That sour taste is letting go
I looked above, I searched the skies
For a silver lining, for a reason why
Every word I said, I fucking meant
I can't press rewind, I can't take it back
I've waged a war that I can't win
And all these walls are closing in
Could it be me, could it be so
That sour taste is letting go
I can't win
This life's a path built on graves
Of those who tried and died before
As they soared towards the sun
They burned their wings and they were gone
And they were gone
IN CIRCLES
Beaten senseless by the hands of time
I see their empty eyes as I pass them by
Tired of living a life that's just a lie
Devoid of hope, born only to die
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
We all know what we are
There's no beauty in this part of town
There's no solace when the lights go out
I walk the same damn streets
It's the same air that I breathe
Just like them I'll live
Just like them I'll die
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
We all know what we are
To open graves, to empty hands
To our bitter fate, swallow it down
Breathless now, as silence surrounds
Another restless soul that life passed by
I heard him say that only dust remains
I paid him no mind but he sure was right
There's no beauty in this part of town
There's no solace when the lights go out
To open graves, to empty hands
To our bitter fate, swallow it down
