We’ve talking about the end And how it all began Staying up late and sipping the time by Can’t think of a better way Transcend and wash our sins away

Coming out, another day Only to find what they meant to stow away Sharpened teeth, all seeing eye Made a hundred on the corner, just to stay alive Lay low Don’t go I need know How long? We’ve made it through too many storms Stood up By the hand clenched knuckle red God only shows In the daylight How long? We’ve made it through too many storms Stood up By the hand clenched knuckle red

Head down in devotion And wish it away Kicked out, stacking up Trying to keep this shit at bay I’ll wait and see, if miracles arrive And strive for a dream Where we fall into the in between I know that I have faltered And I keep walking that fine line I’ll hold back and wait For the sky to fall Held out for my saint No one answered my call Tethered down to the bottom Fathom casket at sea Call it luck or anointment It all comes with a fee I’ll wait and see if miracles arrive And strive for a dream Where we fall into the in between Need my lady luck Yeah I’m going all in I need to remember Where to begin

Went through hell and put it on the line Trauma dealt gotta give it more time Just keeping my head above Oh the water’s deep, I need more than love Hanging on a thread I’m whittled down, only sound Searching for divine intervention Recall my faults, walking through the night Born again under the midnight sky I was hanging on a thread All whittled down, only still Searching for divine intervention Always end up where we start To end

Another faded morning Wake up hazy dawn Endless winter midnights Sunday morning pawn Praying to the clouds Really I’m on my own On my own It’s 9:45, there’s nobody home The television’s off This house is so cold Body lie restless on the hardwood floor Settle in the sound Constant shifting hum Clouded resurrection Accept what we’ve become It’s 9:45, there’s nobody home The television’s off This house is so cold Body lie restless on the hardwood floor

Godspeed 03:18
lyrics

Held on long, I couldn’t let go Now looking down, heading home He held your hand, calling out your name She held your hand, thinking of your name The bow went down, we held our breath Taking on water, vessel in distress Exhale slowly, finally at rest I called you, I need you One day, you’d come home We all felt, abandoned You were, abandoned We’re all held in the wake you left The wake you left behind

lyrics

Laid out, took one on the chin Mark it on the board, another Cardinal Sin They say it just takes time, you wouldn’t understand Out of sight and out of mind, lay blessings on the damned You’re holding on, to this sinking ship Give up the ghost, set fire to the script Between the Devil and the deep blue sea We float hand in hand We’ll come to grips and consume reality Played out, heard it all before Spiritual drought, the word has washed ashore Swaying to the symphony, pulling back the veil Ripping out the marrow, led us off the trail We’re holding on, to this sinking ship Give up the ghost, set fire to the script Between the Devil and the deep blue sea We float hand in hand We’ll come to grips and consume reality

Long week, gotta clear my head Go out, or go to bed I think we’ll drive around And find that piece of mind Ocean waves they crash Against the wall Deep waters, find a place to stall Open seas the lash Upon the tide Full moon decides the ride Silhouette of the deep dark woods Ocean beer is a simple cure Think we’ll join around Embers floating by Ocean waves they crash Against the wall Deep waters, find a place to stall Open seas the lash Upon the tide Full moon decides the time
