lyrics

there’s a certain quality in bloodshot eyes
I seem to have forgotten just who I am
are the hiding something, a map in disguise?
follow these veins the guide like dotted lines
you are the iris, and I, the pupil inside

I will spend the rest of my life searching through the skies for a reason to keep on moving,
Oh but I'm stuck in waves, begging to see your face,
And I'm taking pills, hoping I might just dream of you.

god exists only ‘cause we believe
but pascal’s wager had no effect on me
how is it easy to believe in something that we can’t even see?
occam’s razor cut skin to the bone
bleeds out complexity
leaves only simplicity
it makes more sense can’t you see
god bless this architect
he built these cities underneath the sea
he envisioned worlds that you and me couldn’t even see
so give me adam and give me eve
give me everything thing
I’m gonna drown this whole town now
I’m gonna burn it to the ground
it’s filled with splicers and fiends
gonna baptize it, make it clean
I’ll build your trust and love just to break it back down

your earth and sea, it’s all apart of me
your dirt brought trees, they are growing up inside me
I’ll keep you safe from the horrors in the way
of no gods, no kings, only human beings

if I’m their savior then you’re their god
‘cause you taught me everything I know
you made me who I am today
this fucked up monster
I’ll teach them selfishness
I’ll teach them humility
I’ll teach them every little thing that you taught me

I’ll kill all their sisters and their daddies too

I’ll follow you along the shore
I couldn’t send somebody to find you ‘cause there’s nowhere left to stand
I'm floating to the sea, don't send somebody to find me because I'm already so far gone, it's sad.
I saw you floating below me
I was already a thousand leagues above you
but you never stop falling
I see you floating above me but I'm already a thousand leagues under you, and I can't stop drowning.
I gave you this compass six months ago
marked the map and showed you where to go
but you can’t trust the stars anymore
Lost your compass six months ago, burned the map and didn't know where to go, oh I can't trust the stars.
I’ll follow you along the shore
a lighthouse will guide me to your door
I hope that we don’t die alone
Oh how I long for your shore, rocky beaches and a place that I call home, oh god, I'm so fucking alone

my whole life I had you to protect me, you failed
I'm sorry I failed my whole life's meaning, forgive me.
but you came back and searched the seas to find me, my god
But she locked me up and hid my from our vision, a savior.
our two lives are intertwined together, you failed me
I never thought that we could change the world
can we still change ourselves?

can
we
still
save
ourselves
Because my whole life, all I've ever wanted was to change
can
we
still
save
ourselves
