I promised that I would
Hold onto shreds of resolve
But I can't find the words
Is this the end of something
A part of me that's severed
That I can't bear to lose
I'm much more delicate
Than I can bear to say
And for that I'm to blame
And please never forget
That some things aren't worth
Losing from your heart
So let's make space here
Let's reflect on
Things we felt but couldn't say
And understand what clenched throats can't explain
I can't open these eyes
Cos I'm so scared of starting life again
But keep your head high
The future's better when
Your hands aren't tied behind your back
And the grace you gave to others won't collapse
I'm not an empty soul
But I can't wrest my heart back from this hole
And come on darling
Let's pretend I
Never made all these mistakes
So we can learn to laugh and smile again
Tomorrow's getting closer
More beautiful than we can comprehend

We hold our hands up
Towards the sun
Not looking back
At what we've done
Disgraceful souls will
Not see the day
Before the wronged ones
Push them away
We light our torches
Which won't protect us
From the forms
We have burned
And break these cycles
Break these cycles now
Before time has passed
And we can't stick around

I lost my sight when I was young
Trying to learn what I’d become
Always closing off
The only doors that gave me answers
And all these words are ringing false
But we'll never have it all
We want is four brick walls
And ways to trap the running water
And what is it you seek here
How can we explain what really happened
Yesterday's destiny has disappeared
Over the frozen shoulder
Can we work it out still
Does a place exist to feel connected
Drifting off from our boat
With nowhere else to go or feel respected
I spent my time under the sun
Trying to swallow what I'd done
But all I found was
Endless empty spaces
There's never once a guarantee
That we can become who we
Want to be among the stars
That never ever seemed so far
And what happens to us now
Do we try to live in the coming seconds
Winter's coming faster than we'd
Ever anticipated
Is time to give it up
Is it time to break these endless cycles
What we've got doesn't matter
When the planet shatters

There is no other way to face
When you're on your back
But up towards the void
As we slowly drift off from the track
Reality today
Means nothing said
Will ever make it change enough
To feel like others watch your back
And who do you think you've become
We have lost all of our worth
We're breathing through a broken lung
And where does the earth open up
We are martyrs for no cause
And we will live until we're done
And we will live until we're done
The chaos that controls us
Needs to break its chains
Cos we walk through hell every single night
And every burn still feels the same
And who do you think we escaped
We have to make a change beyond
Absolute time and space
And where does existence lay bear
We aren't the ones who witnessed all
The clouds that filled the midnight air
So say what you want us to be
We cannot feel
We cannot think
We cannot hear
We cannot speak and
We can not keep raising voices
We can not keep raising voices
This place has changed
And we are all of us to blame
We have made our own choices
And we can not keep raising voices
