no no, the light breaks through the forest.
go slow before our feet find the edge and fall down.
into the crater, where the sun won't shine.
we search for the center but found only sides.
so go against the breeze you'll feel fullest.
don't slow, don't look back when you hear the laugh as they break us to the ground.
they say the sun don't breathe.
i've seen it rise and fall its never been too comforting
we're beyond their reach under the guise of fall we see them without the leaves.
go strong, we only have the moment.
hope so, as we impact on the path, careful not to break eye contact.
rise the tide to sink the ships
rise the tide to sink the ships
rise the tide to sink the ships
rise the tide to sink the ships
throwing to the bitter obsolence.
ongoing, let the pitiful commence.
retrieve the key they never found where it goes.
without a light, they'll only find vacant roads.
and beat up streets tattered with broken bones.
with that in mind, they really aren't all that old.
it seems to me, the only place left to go.
beneath the sea, where we were all borrowed.
greet the waves the water's so unbound.
we'll just make it our next battleground.
i'll sink into the breeze, we can't rewind the sea.
greet the waves the water's so unbound.
we'll just make it our next battleground.
fine I'll take the beach, we'll just fucking freeze.
greet the waves the water's so unbound.
we'll just make it our next battleground.
let's forget the streams, we can't rewind the sea.
