1.
There’s no one left to hold you back Your teeth grind to the bone A cry to feign innocence But I just can lie any more Scream for Change Cliché falters under beliefs strain Cynicism drowns in hope Scream for Change
2.
It always has to end But dry my falling tears So pure in this old wound A mere human glimpse Easing our common pain Speak not, of our stemmed inflection These human treasures are lasting Rendering such self-security Instilling serenity Our pulses whisper to fade The exit hasn’t been plugged Water seeps We’re sinking Are we to swim?
3.
This is freedom Fear sees through it Its worth isn’t your own As we stop striving There’ll be nothing left to hope for Shallow streams won’t fill, a thought can’t suffice Our supports are failing Preservation isn’t enough Enough is what we have No one’s slipping off the edge I’m begging for a cancer Rip this skin away
4.
Grace Our silence feigns strength There’s no safety underground If there’s no on looking for us Then I’ll share a bed with pride And I’ll just stare at the ceiling As my stained skin rots I’ll sleep for years Just waiting Show me what I need ‘Cause this can’t be enough Who’s gonna take me when I give up? I need relief Hushed gratitude A dirge for your hopes This shapes your dagger The trunks you rest on are hollow Forget Us Forget Us
5.
My reflection wishes for another Just not me There’s another love in us It’s suffocating Our efforts are weighted down We’re suffocating Just hope not to feel it Regret has a mask Its range broad I’m trying to find the light But the night slit her throat For Jealousy We’re just waiting For another force Who’s gonna save us? How long can we, feed off one another? Can not we help ourselves? Trip Fall on me These scars can’t define us Our lines are down, Insecurities High
6.
These noises, they just won’t stop All These things in my head, rust the lock Body stands alone Another beat waits to arrive, with some time And I fail When fear said ‘I’ll hold you back’ I just can’t stop running expecting attack There’s no light to guide us We’re falling behind Can you feel the knife? Etching regret into your back If the priest slits the throat of a free mans wife Then I’m running for treason and a sharper knife
