i can t continue on without a sign one wing to haul the weight of only one third of an eye the voice i m leaning into has been thrown when all the meat is stripped away i m chewing on the bone i m condemned until the moment i forget that i haven t learned a goddamn thing yet my soul is sticking out like a talon through a shell you can wait until the rapture i will hightail it to hell water everywhere but no water fit to drink i ve got endless proof and i don t know what to think nothing but time not a minute left to spare gallons of fuel i can t get anywhere when all i am is a stone that says the name i had and the years that i had been the quiet depths and the measured steps won t echo like the shriek of riot did sever the anchor you drag or be frozen at the stake choke down all the prey in your path before you become the prey no one likes a company man nothing but a snake nothing but a snake look at my war it s the prettiest thing alive i traded it for sanity now all you see is mine open the throttle feel the thunder in the sails pick up the scent of fear and follow the trail when all i am is a stone that says the name i had and the years that i had been the quiet depths and the measured steps won t echo like the shriek of riot did i can t move the dredge without heat still water of a puddle and the ocean never meet i ve wandered off a path into a storm a trance into a fury a mantra for a sword doomed until i recall how to fire up an engine that has stalled i would trade what i have lost for the things that i have left some clarity just to see darkness best my flower in your barrel hasn t stopped the slaughter yet so spent we can t be saved we lost sleep but we found our way sharpen your axe against the road don t hold out hope such courage pulls us down we ride on such courage pulls us down we ride on our songs refuse a grave these beating hearts make violent waves push the pedal right through the floor want so much more when all i am is a stone that says the name i had and the years that i had been the quiet depths and the measured steps won t echo like the shriek of riot did
