Never Sleep Again

Now's the time, to sit and reflect on the things things that we did,
The words that were said
Let's trace our steps, and find our way back to a time when we knew where we stood
Hello my Fairweather fiends and all the Ghosts of the good and the bad days that we've had They haunt me and keep me awake and aware Sometimes I could swear that I'll never sleep again
And if I die before I wake I pray that I would learn to make more mistakes, but never make the same one twice. I know that I should take advice when on thin ice.
So how about you, where do you draw your line? Is it here? Is it there? should I call you mine? For all of this time I stayed through all these lies. Are you real? Are you fake? Let's not blur the line.
This is reality? Is this reality? Im not sure I recognize the walls or the fixtures. This is a tragedy? Is this tragedy? I don't really know if I can crawl among the creatures.
Is this my reality?
Shall I walk alone in tragedy?
Nothing is silent. Everythings starting to shake. Find me the back door, or at least from my dreams let me wake. Then I'll be on my way back home. Then I'll be on my way back home.

So how will this look from the bottom of the rope? How will you treat what you took? Just know it isn't joke. I hope you reap what you sow. I hope the others all know I did what did for substance, not show.
Now there's no one to trust, and im just leading my luck. Replaced my love with your list, like a sad empty Fuck. So if it ends in regret and you start feeling stuck, just know I hope that you choke, and you get left in the muck. Now the streets are unsafe when everyone wears a mask. And I haven't a question, 'cause there's no one to ask. So with no one around I'll confide in the flask. I won't now at your feet. If sooner lie casket.
Broken souls and empty homes are all that's left from all you stoke. What's left to take? Nothings left whole.
You've built an empire of hate. I guess I'll burn it all down. You'll deserve nothing less. You will burn with crown. Your throne was born in a fire, so in smoke you will drown. Just keep thinking you're safe. You will be overthrown.
I can't allow. I can't be still. While everythings moving in circles, and everyones stuck in this cycle. Up from below, I'll climb this hill. And take what was mine. I will get what im owed.
And in the end I'll do what it takes. No matter the cost. Ignoring the stakes. Your time here is up. I'll fall too if I must.
Im rewriting this book. Here's how this chapter will end. With a knife in the back by the hand of a friend. You and I will be broken, but this nation will mend. And so they'll remember, for themselves they must fend.
We'll all die as kings.

The Loudest Whispers
03:09
|

I swear I heard you, you were louder than the rest
The instant fleeting, and then the sun set to the west
We lost all our meaning, I wonder if you wander too
Our vision so distorted, we've grown contorted from a passing view
And if you swear to me there'll always be some sort of logic
Then I'm content with getting used to us being nostalgic
So please don't ever concern yourself with feeling guilty
A lack of innocence will only leave us more so filthy
The dirty ground needn't muddy from the falling tears
Just pack your burdens, swallow pride, and abandon fears
You'll only blame me for the heartache and the wasted breath
Depart from me, just leave it be, don't worry I'll pick up the mess
The loudest whispers
Become the softest thing you've heard
If you want silence
it's yours, darling, say the word
The fear you harbor, will only become your anchor
Put one foot forward, you'll find the other follows suit.
When you placed your hand in mine. What did you expect to find?
Don't leave with regrets, just leave
Don't leave with regrets, just leave. Leave me be.
And in the end you'll see, you meant everything to me
The loudest whispers
Become the softest thing you've heard
If you want silence
It's yours, darling, say the word.

(How could I explain myself
When I can't seem to find my voice
Enjoy the silence)
So at the end of the day when youve all found your way
Will I stand to the side, will I have any say
And if I can't get it right, if I don't follow the light
Will I have any chance, will I put up a fight
Every word sounds precise. And the promise seems nice
But will it hold any weight, or will it crack like the ice.
It'll all be just fine, if we just folow the sign
But the fogs getting thick and I can't find the...
I believe in every word you said
But I can't seem to get it through my head
How could someone like me
Find the yellow brick road
I'm not the frog that you kiss
I'm much more like a toad
And if we never speak again
And if you don't know where I've been
Then just picture me fine
With two kids and a wife
With a white picket fence
Believe I'm living the life
(Ill be just fine)
Hold on for dear life
Here comes the other side
Lets face it, ill just fake it
Ill fake it 'til I make it come true
And if its it good enough for you
Then I've got nothing left to prove
(I believe in everything. Oh, everything that isn't me.)

Spearhead
04:25

We speak of heritage
And all we've grown to love
And all we've grown to love
We see through hazy eyes
We see ourselves alone
They've all come and gone
They've all come and gone
Where have you gone
And won't you please come home
I can't quite shake the feeling
Of being alone
If we can't get this right
Where will we end up by the end of the night
So follow through, your aim is true now let's just set the sights
Don't speak like that, and don't you feet, the futures looking bright
We found ourselves without a figurehead
I'll guess we'll follow our hearts instead
With all our makeshift bones, I'll throw myself on the end of the spearhead
We give this day our daily bread, before we find out that our souls are dead
I've torn myself into pieces, and everythings gone from green to red.
And now im walking on my very own
Trail of tears down every road I've known
If only I could find a way to mend
This patch of dirt and every seed I've sown
(now im breaking down, im ripping out the stitches, im tearing down my walls, but rebuilding fences, and I withhold my right, to keep you in my sights, I'll keep this dream alive)
Empty and hollow
So grows the tree of life
And we go on
Empty and hollow
So grows the tree of life
And we begin again.
