Stepped outside and i walked to the edge
Toes pointing down looking over the past again
I'm frightened by my urge to descend
Opened up my chest many times before
To the knife of love to the best unborn
I swore out to the night and felt myself begin to lean in
Spinning out around around
Descending on a forming crowd of sullen eyes hiding knives
Spinning out around around
Their looking twice and slowing down
I really doubt i'll make out alive
Spinning out around around
Descending on a forming crowd of sullen eyes hiding knives
Spinning out around around
Their looking twice and slowing down
I really doubt i'll make out alive
Laid out next to my still beating heart
I've fallen down inside a caustic crowd
They slip and fall when blood it pours out
They suck it up but it won't decay
It beats for hours, it bleeds for days
Their sullen lives, numbing nights
Holding on to murmurs in life
Spinning out around around
Descending on a forming crowd of sullen eyes hiding knives
Spinning out around around
Their looking twice and slowing down
I really doubt i'll make out alive
Spinning out around around
Descending on a forming crowd of sullen eyes hiding knives
Spinning out around around
Their looking twice and slowing down
I really doubt i'll make out alive
We can fall forever
Filling the night sky
Feelings that won't die
A rush of warm blood
We can fall forever
Holding hands in silent flight
Coping with loss and loves lies
We can fall forever
Holding on to nice tries
Rushing towards the fine lines
Crawl in my life
Spinning out around around
Descending on a forming crowd of sullen eyes hiding knives
Spinning out around around
Their looking twice and slowing down
I really doubt i'll make out alive
Spinning out around around
Descending on a forming crowd of sullen eyes hiding knives
Spinning out around around
Their looking twice and slowing down
I really doubt i'll make out alive
Bright flare, stars, mirror
Down came the reign of springtide life
He breathes his first breath and tries to see
But the sounds beneath cut all the lights
Now that he feels it whenever he breathes in
Nothing can slow it down its so abrupt, its on us now
Now that he feels it whenever he breathes in
Nothing can slow it down its so abrupt, its on us now
Fade out of sight for another life
Fade out of sight for another life
Down the isles adorned
In the chambers he will learn how to fight
To recover all the blood lost in life
And he can't bear the fall of another
He lights a fire up above under covers
Now that he feels it whenever he breathes in
Nothing can slow it down its so abrupt, its on us now
Now that he feels it whenever he breathes in
Nothing can slow it down its so abrupt, its on us now
Fade out of sight for another life
Down the isles adorned
With all those beautiful bright lights
Silently obsessing over the upsetting words to come
Forgive me tonight
I picked out a corner, I feel the sweat pouring
My chest gets tight as we sit down to dine
we toast, compose
Pushed away the flowers and looked into those soaring eyes, those sorry eyes
Begin
Lean in and fire
We fought loud, we fight loud
Built up inside us
We hold out, we held out
Oh oh oh oh
Forcing out the silence
i'll make up for what's happening
i'll make up for what's going to be
i'll make it up
At 17 I woke and I left behind all traces of my springtide life
At 17 time were rough, but I won't deny I still haven't tried to begin to recover
That 17th summer was the best I'd remember because after that summer i'd never recover
That 17th summer was the best I'd remember because after that summer i'd never recover
Lean in and fire
We fought loud, we fight loud
Built up inside us
We hold out, we held out
Oh oh oh oh
Forcing out the silence
Try, you wanted to find something inside i won't deny
Holding up lights in front of my eyes
I never disowned you
Not in my life
Try, you wanted to find something inside i won't deny
Holding up lights in front of my eyes
I never disowned you
Not in my life
