Collisions and Castaways

I ran with the dead and chased And chased my own shadow Built walls, walls of belief Reaction from the fall We are ones of will Desperate and dying I was, I was along For the ride, the ride of the unaligned I gave you every word to hold On a deathless night Sucking, bleeding, inside out If I had gave in I'd never live that down And I wanted to believe in everything I'm after But I was drowning in the hell that I raised And when there's nothing left to say You won't need a reason To kill these cancers that may come your way, come your way Long cold wind hits face to remind you're Not done, unloved, failure Serves as lessons learned Faith regained from plagues What will I find in me? I found, I found in the falls In the falls, the falls of the unaligned I gave you every word to hold On a deathless night Sucking, bleeding, inside out If I had gave in I'd never live that down And I wanted to believe in everything I'm after But I was drowning in the hell that I raised And when there's nothing left to say You won't need a reason To kill these cancers that may come your way I ran with the dead And chased my own shadow Built walls of belief I saw the dead rise Rise! Rise! I saw the dead rise, rise! I saw the dead rise! I saw the dead rise, rise! I saw the dead! Reflection dying with me Reflection dies Reflection dying with me Reflection dies And I wanted to believe in everything I'm after But I was drowning in the hell that I raised And when there's nothing left to say You won't need a reason To kill these cancers that may come your way

The sky stars fell out and into graves Breathing while dying Companies of ghosts remain Alone with the sea And as they fade away Late night hope and wish Even now you're undressed in my sleep Slowly the swells of light seep through As we breathe in the darkened sky And in times of grace replace my distaste Signals flare as layers fade away White water won't wash away Don't let it confuse The road to soul is lonely at best I've arrived at empty And as it burns away Late night hope and wish Even now you're undressed in my sleep Slowly the swells of light seep through As we breathe in the darkened sky And in times of grace replace my distaste Signals flare as layers fade away You won't destroy me Or break my will You won't destroy me Or break my will Or break my will And in times of grace replace my distaste Signals flare as layers fade away Slowly the swells of light seep through As we breathe in the darkened sky And in times in of grace replace my distaste Signals flare and layers fade away Or break my will Or break my will You won't destroy me Or break my will Or break my will Or break my will

Untangle me from my detest Untangle my wreck Slowly but surely were dining in A table full of regret Alive! Inside! Never thought I'd get back here Starting at the bottom Life extinguish life Life extinguish life Wallowing in this sinking ship The water taking on You and I and a bottle to get by Unravel our song Untangle me from my detest now Untangle my death Breath of the breathless onto my end Choking the truth within Alive! Inside! Never thought I'd get back here Starting at the bottom Life extinguish life Life extinguish life Wallowing in this sinking ship The water taking on You and I and a bottle to get by Unravel our song Unravel our song And I never wanted to be quite like this A slow steep hole that I'm in And I never wanted to die like this And I never wanted you to see I never wanted you to see Wallowing in this sinking ship The water taking on You and I and a bottle to get by Unravel our song Life extinguish life (unravel our song) Life extinguish life (unravel our song)

I can't lose anything I watched you run From the demons that drown you Wash the blood, blood, blood from your hands From the darkest of days to the deadliest sands Now's where the liars will come The broken, the beaten, the battered, the numb I once wrote these things So I could change from agonies in me Then fell from grace and back again Eyes awake all night Death renames the light Death renames the light Renames the light I once wrote these things So I could change from agonies Renames the light I once wrote all these things So I could change from agonies in me Fell from grace, grace, grace, and back again Eyes awake all night Death renames the light Now's where the body will bleed Gale forces the wind, heighten the sea I once wrote these things So I could change from agonies in me Then fell from grace and back again Eyes awake all night Death renames the light Death renames the light Renames the light I once wrote these things So I could change from agonies Until the end, pain reveals it Until the end, pain reveals Until the end, reveals Until the end, pain reveals Until the end, reveals it The light Death renames the light Renames the light I once wrote these things So I could change from agonies I once wrote these things So I could change from agonies

Weighed in the balances While night invests the sea No god awaits, no god awaits Still conscious as I bleed Cast through waning memories A greater love, a greater love The only air I need This will never end Where these scars wrote stories I'll hold this forever with Northern Eyes And I will never lose faith again And I will never lose faith again Where would we be without these anchors? You can't quite believe oceans never ending Ecliptic and shadowless My hour of disdain No god awaits, no god awaits Still conscious as I bleed Cast through waning memories Anchors of hope, anchor my heart These oceans are never ending This will never end Where these scars wrote stories I'll hold this forever with Northern Eyes And I will never lose faith again And I will never lose faith again Where would we be without these anchors? You can't quite believe oceans never ending This will never end Where these scars wrote stories I'll hold this forever with Northern Eyes Night will never look same! Where would we be without these anchors? You can't quite believe oceans never ending Where would we be without these anchors? You can't quite believe oceans never ending Without this truth, without this truth Without this truth Anchors of hope, anchor my heart Anchor Anchors of hope, anchor my heart Without this truth Anchors of hope, anchor my heart Anchor Anchors of hope, anchor my heart Without this truth Anchors of hope, anchor my heart Anchor Anchors of hope, anchor my heart Without this Anchors of hope, anchor my heart

Reckless abandon, coming undone Survive the swallow, decade of ruin gone I found myself in trenches tonight Regret runs wild as darkness kills All the lights All the lights have died Slow dose of hell stripping what's left Sleepless for days on end And ingest life on all sides I can't be reached in this soulless design Capsized my insides, hours inch by Inviting the lions to all take a piece Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease Searching the city, to no avail Can't find me anywhere, winds out of sail I found myself in trenches tonight Regret runs wild as darkness kills All the lights All the lights have died Slow dose of hell stripping what's left Sleepless for days on end And ingest life on all sides I can't be reached in this soulless design Capsized my insides, hours inch by Inviting the lions to all take a piece Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease I need a search light to make amends From the insides out, out, out, out, out On the strength of its test Full blooded sense of life, life, life, life, life Ghosts remain on auto pilot Looking to cancel out Brief breath of air in darkness Survive in doubt I can't be reached in this soulless design Capsized my insides, hours inch by Inviting the lions to all take a piece Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease And ingest life on all sides And ingest life

Another wave crashes down, found alone They were always meant to make amends Another year comes crashing down With all the weight and all the sound Where the water exits high and leaves forgiven It goes on and on and on Wait, wait, can I get it back from this? Unfold the lives, a haze dismissed Where I couldn't remember No, I couldn't remember The way I used to be With this, always back alive With this, always back alive Left to right I wait for angels, reappear (Reappear) To bring back bravery from fear (From fear) And the silence, the grey To resurface on us, and come what may It took time to figure out my escape Withdraw pain and my distaste When the battles became more than I could take And it goes on and on and on Wait, wait, cause I'm coming back from this Memories of life and loss exist And I could always remember Yes I will always remember The way you used to be With this, always back alive With this, always back alive Left to right I wait for angels, reappear (Reappear) To bring back bravery from fear (From fear) And the silence, the grey To resurface on us, and come what may And come what may And come what Head to the light, it's up to us, bring it Head to the light, it's up to us, bring it Fighting ourselves, just to break chains from Fighting ourselves, just to break I wait for angels, reappear To bring back bravery from... From fear I wait for angels, reappear (Reappear) To bring back bravery from fear (From fear) And the silence, the grey To resurface on us, and come what may Oh

I awoke to the sound of alarms Delicate and caving in Drenched in my own This faith is coming with me Days go by weary as we sleep April has become the numbing heart I own I'd bleed for this again and again and again And how I need for this candle to burn forever Forever burn Years go by and it's what I've learned That no one's getting out alive No one's getting out To gather this romance To hide from this wind, to love understatement To hollow out the end Days go by weary as we sleep All the mercy I've begged at shames steps I look for peace in this for peace in all of this And how I need for this candle to burn forever Forever burn Years go by and it's what I've learned That no one's getting out alive No one's getting out And this chance to live is grown in I'm not the walking dead and I'll I'll never, never be Strayed from distance Time sets forward the dark A fine light to one's true self In a den with believers my position in decent The name familiar at the heart of it all At the heart of it all White noise comes with voice I risk the promise of giving up then giving in Years go by and it's what I've learned That no one's getting out alive No one's getting out And this chance to live is grown in I'm not the walking dead and I'll I'll never, never be

Take deep breaths in and gather the night A hole that's hardly summed up by taking away Time unlocks the stall When there's nothing left to lose Nothing can be lost I don't know if anything has changed But the hope of that changes everything Hope builds change Isn't the place of the plagues That surround me and my open graves But it's the fate of the haze That put darkness in my way I escape I escape darkness in my own way Fatal has become the solid fight Unending endings that loom into my darkest light Unlock my falls When there's nothing left to lose Nothing can be lost I don't know if anything has changed But the hope of that changes everything Hope builds change Isn't the place of the plagues That surrounds me and my open graves But it's the fate of the haze That put darkness in my way I escape I escape darkness in my own way I escape darkness in my own way I escape darkness in my own way I escape darkness in my own way I don't know if anything has changed But the hope of that changes everything Hope builds change Isn't the place of the plagues That surrounds me and my open graves But it's the fate of the haze That put darkness in my way I escape I escape darkness in my own way I escape darkness in my own way

No matter how many nights we kill to save Fires to flames Chasing me through the poison rain I lied awake and ran it over and over And over and over to the quiet misery, misery When I let it breathe, I found gloss in this sobriety Running to lights, the sounds of hearts crashing Hopeless and taken in defense of my screams Each moment, each second we're alive, we expand We retract moving forward as we love, we love Ascending to be loved Avoiding the collapse Avoiding the collapse Avoiding the collapse Avoiding the collapse
