Our stolen dreams betray an iron will
A shrouded face will never compromise or understand
Lit up live in fifteen thousand volts, just like poison
Waiting three steps out of sight
Resolved to stain the night with one last breath
There's a world where the bells surround you and it sounds like today
but your prayers come a little too late to save these words
Like a heart shattered from the outside
I see you fading away as we drift toward a canonized wake
Nothing reconciles our vacant choices now
That shadowed life nobody populates, now pushed away
And if I could read those choices back, you know I'd force it all
And what does silence mean to me, as I choke on my last breath
There's a world where the bells surround you and it sounds like today
but your prayers come a little too late to save these words
Like a heart shattered from the outside
I see you fading away as we drift toward a canonized wake
All the tears that we crucified stepped through to the other side
I never really understood the space beyond our patient tide
One kiss before you go
So much that we'll never know
If anything's familiar, let it die tonight and stay below
