What will become of us
It seems impossible to know
This will engulf us all
And when the menace starts within
It seems impossible to end
It takes honor
It takes a pure and steadfast faith
It takes commitment
just to make it out at all
It takes much more to bring us down
We're in the thick of it now
You bear the enblem of apostates
that abandoned our love
You're in the corner of my eye
You are beneath me
You're pushing us aside
You gaze into the abyss long enough
It gazes into you
There is a price to pay
for standing on the edge of control
The city's cordoned off
It's impossible they say
It's impossible for you and me
The sirens sing
it's impossible, impossible
to change
the heart of man
What's stranded out of reach
gets ever harder to retain
Trapped in the undertow
where what gets out of hand is lost
To put your finger on the scales
It takes honor
It takes investment in your fate
It takes commitment
just to make it out at all
Decay in miniscule amounts
is taking parts of us out
It is the dose that makes the poison
that will undo us all
I'll make sure you're not left behind
You are beside me
You'll make it out alive
You gaze into the abyss long enough
It gazes into you
There is a price to pay
for standing on the edge of control
We are disheartened
but we're enlightened
When things come to and end
it will be imminent to see
when the smoke clears
there will be others just like me

This ain't how i pictured it to be
on top of a mammoth heap of my failures
this is not my place
Boy, I haven't slept in days
They won't escape my name
it's not an ending
Boy, I don't believe in fate
but i can hardly wait
It's not an ending
This feels like tidal waves
they're washing over me
an outing like an ocean of lights
This feels like tidal waves
It's a catastrophe
that no one makes it out of alive
I hope these legs don't fail me now
I hope i'll take it all in stride
This is a push and pull
Renown in nightmares
I hope these legs don't fail me now
I hope i'll take it all in stride
They're bearing decadence
and they don't fight fair
I tried to love the empty promise
I tried to love it like i should
It's not an ending
I'll be abandoned on the downswing
I'll brawl to find the way back home
It's not an ending

Last chance for the avalanche
Play dead for the ambulance
I hope they race this stretcher like the black number 3
or not at all
I know they treat emotion
like an arms race
this kid's a hopeless case
this kid is feral
and we can't reign it in
Like nothing's in between
delight and agony
the fatal lifestyle of a gemini
it's apples and trees
Like nothing's in between
euphoria and apathy
the fabled lifestyle of a brutalist
seems brutal to me
Last chance for the hurricane
Stay tuned for the growing pains
I hope they paint this town red like the fourth of July
or not at all
I know they treat his motions
like an earthquake
this kid's a hopeless case
this kid is feral
and we can't reign it in
We're not much alike
You‘re a maelstrom, i am dead weight
And we pass each other by within the night
We're not much alike
You‘re a riptide, i‘m sedated
And we pass each other by

I am an Anabaptist son
The liturgy
and property
should never stand as one
I won’t believe it
I am the front line at Verdun
Through siren sounds
And poison rounds
The battles can’t be won
We’ll see when it’s too late
the sons of broken fathers
are driven to the brink
the pull too weak to hold us
It‘s either sink or swim
We march towards disaster
The tally’s crowded out
The pull too weak to hold us
Let’s see who’s drowning now
We fail to operate
I‘m at the center of Cannae
To grace the land
With blood and sand
It only grants defeat
The end’s approaching
I am a local of Bataan
These rivalries
from overseas
will take my mother’s son
I can’t elude the fray
A vapid promise haunts us
Deception at its worst
the sanguine lifes they owe us
are dragging through the dirt

A Cynic's golden age
disaster pulling on a string
Outlook's a tragedy
you can always bask in it
Perpetual decay
Transmissions of dichotomy
We're feigning opulence
you can always bask in it
I fear this is a state
that only escalates
This is a nightmare
And they will leave us here to die
I fear this is the place
they will endow us with
This is a nightmare
And they will leave us here to die
I hope they'll fail you like they failed me no more
you know that what they say is misery loves company
I hope they'll fail you like they failed me no more
although it seems hard to conceive
This monumental fraud
seems like a cog wheal blowing out
The pressure's coming down
You can always bask in it
A spike in larceny
the palace built on make-believe
No honor in these thiefs
You can always bask in it
As long as there's a high demand
to sculpt a look-alike of vanity
Until the bitter end
Foray this hopeless case
As long as there's a stake in it
It's one step forward two steps back
Until the bitter end
Foray this hopeless case
As long as there's a high command
that will not falter will not fade
(It will not falter, will not fade
We hardly ever had a say in it)
Until the bitter end
Foray this hopeless case

Give it back! Give it back!
Everything that’s been taken from us in those years
We’re not the same
The dissipation of everything we hold dear
Take it back! Take it back!
The esteem for the vigor in our very hands
We're not the same
The scales of dependence will break but they will not mend
You filthy bastards
This is not the place of my dreams
This is my bones to be buried
Another wake up call
for the broken! For the broken!
I will be buried in a dessert next to charlatans at heart
It all comes apart! It all comes apart!
I will be buried next to everyone who left me in the dark
In a stranded ark! In a stranded ark!
Flat out ignore
The records, the warnings!
The greed, the fraud
The records, the warnings!
Before we’re dead and gone
The coming downswing dooms us all
The bulk of damage done
will be the herald of the fall
Delayed it, delayed it
It’s out of control
Evade it, Evade it
til we decompose
Objection as a con
Another pamphlet on a door
There's more than you let on
the setup's rotten to the core
Delayed it, delayed it
It’s out of control
Evade it, Evade it
til we decompose
The model seems astute
a cycle from our sins
we end within
the remnants of a pale substitute
The varnish's coming off
It's sinking from the frame
Another day
when footings slip the going gets tough
Well, everything is not the same
The impact rips us apart
The stakes are going up
This failure’s not the same
As those before
When everyone was learning to cope
