about

featuring Kyle Stinson on the singing saw

lyrics

If I can sleep that's a relief
the closest thing to heaven I will ever see
while I'm awake I hear the wrath as it goes growling through hell's firey lake
Wasteland I roam no place is home no where to rest these shakin' bones
purpose pretended attempt to mend it but the traps in the cracks are easily befriended
it's what I get a fistful of regret the pieces that I build they will not connect
my body tries to find something alive
I collect shells and expel unanswered cries

there are no good words, no tricks to learn only shapes to fear and shadows to burn
wind whispers cold of days of old of creatures crushed and landscapes sold
these bonding buildings feel the gift of the guilty and grieve the death of the mentally healthy

I used to plea for to be free I asked for quiet now the silence speaks to me
