lyrics

Deep in doubt
Sinking below the sickness
Common fool
Missing soul
Laughing in scattered rhythm
Simple fix

What if you saw me fall in?
Fall into the sinking sands
Screaming through a callused throat
Praying for something but clawing at nothing

What if you felt my burdens?
In a million tired questions
Bursting temples from the strain of toxic thoughts
What will you do with me?

What will you do with me?
What will you do with me?
What will you do with me?
What will you do with me?

Father
Make the excuse for me
On my life
I will entertain
The illusion of a grander truth
Pre-empt the execution
Fall away
Mother
Why don’t you answer me?
In this life
I am barely free
I can hardly see what’s in front of me
The saints are waiting leave them in peace

Nothing
Falls away for simple reasons
Even if it’s from the beginning
Something
Opening with bursts of anger
Swinging wild and bearing its teeth
Nothing
Gets away that easily
Even if it slips through our fingers
Something
Might not matter much to me
Even if matters to you

Father
Make the excuse for me
On my life
I will entertain
The illusion of a grander truth
Pre-empt the execution
Fall away
Mother
Why don’t you answer me?
In this life
I am barely free
I can hardly see what’s in front of me
The saints are screaming leave them in peace

Stay
Numb
Stay
Numb
Stay
Numb
