Stay here, tonight will burn for you
And I'm fighting all the odds
Off shore, this sea is ever wide
Let these riptides flood my mind
And the waves rip the sky
My fears will be the death of me
I pull the anchors up, pull the anchors up
For you I give my last breath
To pull me down again, pull me down again
Think back to when the world was new
The old wars our fathers fought
I'd rather be lost all my life
To divide and conquer all my pride
Let the waves rip the sky
Let these riptides flood my mind
And the waves rip the sky

Let these caverns fill with light
So I can open up my eyes
And try to be a saint again
In this room I've lost my head
And I guess everyone was right
If you were just anybody
I'd try to misplace you from myself
I would have made you someone else
You kick me while I'm down
But we're still on top
And we won't stop until your breath runs out
And now that you're gone
I've found myself
But your ghost lives on as someone else
Time is alive
It slowly kills from the inside
This mountain before me
Is too big to climb
And we martyr our dreams
So we won't know what all this means
You really don't know me
Like sight to the blind
You always see through me
You see my right inside
There's nothing to hide
I know you, you're just like me
Blame the world's pain on your lack
And I was supposed to be the one
I was supposed to make you whole
I've been waiting my whole life
To take you from my eyes
To erase you from my mind
You see right through
You always see through me
You see my insides
There's nothing to hide

Sharpen my senses
I'm gonna need a clear head and steady eye
If I'm gonna make it out alive to disguise
Its these black eyes and broken bones
Are all thats left of this hurricane
Its these bright white hospital lights
That keep me up at night
The flash of oncoming headlights
Draws my mind past these yellow lines
Just like the night before
When you came knocking on my door
I'm a house with broken windows
You're the gasoline dripping from my front porch
I'm the last of my kind, I'm the last of this dying breed
And you're just two shots short of a harlot, baby
You should have known
It all comes undone, you gave it your all
But I turn and I walk away
The things we saw
I wait for the sun, watching it all
As it rises and burns away
As these calm waves change with the tide
And the dark clouds fill up the sky
Like a fire, you consume me, you consume everything
So listen well my son, the time has almost come
And it won't be long until this room burns before our eyes
And all that calms me these days
Is the humming of power lines
Drowning out the silence
Just like the night before
So burn another victim, straight to the filter
Drown your sorrows at the bottom of a bottle
I'm quick to my feet, but I'm a wreck inside
As it rises, as it rises, as it rises
As it rises and burns away
As it rises, as it rises
As it rises and burns away
I'm the last of my kind, I'm the last
As it rises and burns away
I'm the last of my kind, I'm the last
As it rises and burns away

Hurricane

In the tension of the silence
Embers burn to scorn the sky with fire
And mountains made from strength beyond our kind
If you let go from everything
You can't give the pain you feel to someone else
I've lived to learn that love must die
You made your fear into your god, to save yourself
When we lose all sense of feeling
Numb with remorse, and lost in time
This endeavor, this endeavor
Is my last chance to feel alive
I'll be the light that finds you
You're so coy and obvious
And if I scream the words I say
They'll keep me safe
Cause timing is everything
If you let go from what you know
You can't give the pain you feel to someone else
I've lived to learn that love must die
You made your fear into your god to save yourself
I feel the fire burning now, but I don't dare put it out
To be a man thrown from grace
Trapped within this hurricane
Is more than you can ever say
Because you've never been in pain, you've never felt this pain
You've never felt a thing

Shipwrecked

I thought I saw you, struck blind
Caught in your mirage
When I was wrong
I tried to understand the stars
They were so infinite
Testing all my confidence in you
But I can only see so far
And this is not over until we reach the end
(I'll make these waves your grave)
We all lost our heads in the sky
And we'll never be safe until we get higher
Until we escape this lie
We are the souls of men lost at sea
Hear the cries that haunt me in my dreams
We say that this life is love and glory
But honestly I feel lost at sea
I'll make these waves your grave
In the shallows I lie
Fighting the tide
Just to fall short of the shore
But I know my place
For me is the swallows at sea
And this is not over until we reach the end
We all lost our heads in the sky
And we'll never be safe until we get higher
Until we escape this lie
