It’ll be like this forever
Always lost, confused
I can't see up ahead with all this smoke, it clouds my eyes
I will try
To live my life the best I can but,
God forgive me
I’ll curse your name a million times
I’ll curse your name
Again, again, again
Catch the spark before it lands
Start the gust with flame in hand
Catch the spark before it lands
Start the gust with flame in hand
Catch the spark before it lands (And what are you afraid of)
Start the gust with flame in hand (Fighting from your couch)
Catch the spark before it lands (Let me just ask this)
Start the gust with flame in hand (Are you only angry now)
We’re living anxiously, so why don’t we just burn this
Tear these buildings down, and maybe it's all worth it
We’re living anxiously, so how did we deserve this
And when they’re dead and gone, we’ll bury them all down with it
With this
With this

My heart’s on anti-theft until it stops
This won't ever go away
Don’t count what’s left of me
My heart’s run empty to a single drop
You count every step I take
Don’t count what's left of me
I feel this weight on me
I feel your gaze on me
I feel this weight on me
I feel your gaze haunt me
Just let this go
Everything I need from you is everything you take from me
Just let this go
Everything I need from you is everything you take from me
Every single little thing will add up ‘til it dies with me

Your Face as an Effigy
02:29

Don’t ever say we didn’t warn you
(Don’t act like you’re surprised)
You’re not our friend, this isn’t for you
(Don’t bother with goodbyes)
And when we see your face again, with another half smile and all we’re thinking is
Don’t ever say we didn’t warn you
Right before you hit the ground
The ground
You’ll never be one of us
You’ll never be one of us
Yeah
Don’t let this happen again
I never called you a friend
Don’t let this happen again
If only people knew who you were
(Like you show yourself to me)
There’s an answer to all of your mistakes,
And this is all you’ll get from me
This is all you’ll get from me
This is all you’ll get from me
This is all you’ll get from me
From me
From me

Exit Wounds

We see what you do
You’re not even hiding
Another head turned
Another day passing
There is no justice from these tiny windows
It’s all on your hands
It’s all on your hands
It’s all on your hands
We see through these exit wounds
And in the home you hollowed out,
Do you think they’d spare some room for you
This ugly world
The past is all re-written
One foot’s in the grave
The other’s wrapped in satin
You’ll say it’s what we want
You’ll promise more compassion
I hope their faces haunt your dreams
How can you sleep with a
Burning body at your doorstep
But you will look away
Burning body at your doorstep
But you will look away

Ephemera

This world is what you give and take,
And I have given everything
(Why) does every flower wilt away
(I watched you) I watched you ruin everything
(I feel) stuck inside the mess you made
Spill me open and see my future
Leave me here to clean my sutures
What do you want me to say
If you won’t even look at my face
Why would you want me to stay
If my life all burns up into flames
What do you want me to say
If you won’t even look at my face
Why would you want me to stay
If this all burns up
Ephemera
(We were made to throw away)
Ephemera
(We were made to throw away)
Ephemera
(We were made to throw away)
Ephemera
