Quietus

If you knew the start, the place where my body broke in two.
Would you pave the ground?
Bridge the fractured road that will swallow you
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah
When you picked me up, I would jump back down again
When you pulled me tight, I would bite right through those strings
When you held me down, I would shake my head and scream
Knowing how loud it feels in the quiet of the quicksand.
There are faces on the wall, staring down and guiding me.
Yelling out my name - telling me today is the enemy.
Oh ah, oh ah
Oh ah, oh ah
When you picked me up, I would jump back down again
When you pulled me tight, I would bite right through those strings
When you held me down, I would shake my head and scream
Knowing how loud it feels in the quiet of the quicksand.
In the quiet quicksand x 3
When you picked me up, I would jump back down again
When you pulled me tight, I would bite right through those strings
When you held me down, I would shake my head and scream
Knowing how loud it feels in the quiet of the quicksand.
In the quiet quicksand x 2

Of the Fearful & Guarded

Hush, hush - shut the door
No rush, but, hit the floor
We hold out and hold on to each other's hands
as we walked into the promise land
Though as we roam, there is no home for guarded souls
And we hold out, we hold out
and we grab to the tether
and we reach to the edge of the mind's only cover
Quick, shout - push her down
Don't peer up or look around
The distant fate is in your head as you float in life is all she said
Though as we roam, we've always known we're guarded souls
And we hold out, we hold out
and we grab to the tether
and we reach to the edge of the mind's only cover
And we stay in mind, mind your way
glimpse of the other
Then it's gone, then it's gone

Stay

Everything's pretty in the dark -
the lace of the doll and the quiet woods
Everything's pretty in the dark
Do what you're told, always do what you should
You'd stay if you come today
You said if you come today, you'd stay
Everything's scary in the dark
Betrayed by the Gods of my childhood
Everything's scary in the dark
Do what you want, don't ever do what you should
You'd stay if you come today
You said if you come today, you'd stay
If you come today
You said if you come today, you'd stay
Do what you want, don't do what you should
Do what you want, don't do what you should
Do what you want, don't do what you should
Do what you want, don't do what you should
Everything's pretty in the dark x 7
You'd stay if you come today
You said if you come today, you'd stay
If you come today
You said if you come today, you'd stay

Caught up, caught up you're flying high
caught up
Caught up, across the sky
caught up
Then you fall down, then we roll down
I am traveling by, up to the sky
but now I'm low, I'm all alone, but now I'm low
Look up, look up, you're flying high
look up
No fault, caught up no closer to high
look up
Then you fall down, then we roll down
I am traveling by, up to the sky
but now I'm low, I'm all alone, but now I'm low
Then you fall down, then you fall down, then we fall down
(when you fall down, when you fall down, I will be there waiting for you)
I am traveling by, up to the sky
but now I'm low, I'm all alone, but now I'm low
but now I'm low, I'm all alone, but now I'm low
but now I'm low, I'm all alone, but now I'm low

Heady Storm

I could hear the bells ringing
I could feel the shattering
Just like it’s in front of me
Heady storm, heady storm
I could hear the bells ringing
Barely warm and shivering
Watchers eyes are wondering
Barely warm, heady storm
Enemies are chattering
Enemies are chattering
Repenting for their fallacies
Truth is known, heady storm
I could feel her light in me
I could feel her life in me
I could feel her life leave me
Heady storm, heady storm
But wait, wait
I’ve got more thing to say
But wait, wait
Talk to yesterday
But wait, wait
I’ve got one more thing to say
But wait, wait
Talk to yesterday
Everyone is gathering
Everyone is gathering
Everyone is gathering
Head is low, heady storm
Hopeful mocking tragedy
Hopeful mocking tragedy
Hope is mocking tragedy
Heady storm, heady storm
But wait, wait
I’ve got one more thing to say
Ahhhhhhh
She goes over and over again
She goes over and over again
She goes over and over and over and over and over and over again
She goes over and over and over and over and over and over
She goes over and over and over and over and over and over
Now she’s gone
