You are my blood The object of my eye You are my blood The object of my eye You are the same but different The victim of a slower sin (The object of my eye) And I would trade it all to change it You are acting like a brain-dead infant Waiting in line for a chemical to fix it (The object of my eye) Acting like a sickle-cell child with a death wish When you are light, you are time, you are endless

Lie when you face the crowd Lie 'cause they love the sound Your move, when I lose everything I can lose You feed my defeat Your move, when I lose everything I can lose You feed my defeat Taste my blood Does it fill you up? And when I’m empty, have you had enough? It’s your move, when I lose everything I can lose You feed my defeat It’s your move, when I lose everything I can lose You feed my defeat It’s your move, when I lose everything I can lose You feed my defeat It’s your move, when I lose everything I can lose You feed my defeat It’s your move, when I leave everything up to you Honestly I’m not the same It’s your move, when I lose everything I can lose Feed my defeat

I saw the end of time I saw the world burning I saw the paradigm of what we have made I want to realign my broken bones and repeat I lay paralyzed while you look away I need to believe it We’ll deconstruct our faces And we’ll show off the changes I need to believe this is in my mind In my mind I need to believe this is in my mind In my mind I could never tell why we might want to stay I could never tell, but I think we’re both insane (I saw the end of time, I saw the end of time) I could never tell why we might want to stay (I saw the end of time, I saw the end of time) I could never tell, but I think we’re both insane (I saw the end of time, I saw) I saw the end of time I saw the water churning And all was purified, destroyed, and remade I saw paradise I saw the world turning I saw the endless light I saw that all was never ending I need to believe this is in my mind In my mind I need to believe this is in my mind In my mind I need to believe it

You can try and measure what I do By the sweat in my brow But you don’t know a thing about me You want to snuff the fire out I just need a little time Time to breathe and realign my ego and me I just need a little time Time to breathe and realign my ego and me I need time to reignite You can take your place in line to erase my name You’ll see I’ll be the paradigm I just need a little time Time to breathe and realign my ego and me I need time to reignite I just need a little time Time to breathe and realign my ego and me I need time to reignite

You make your way through endless night You place the blame on rotting eyes I need to feed the wavering light I need to think it’s right this time I want to watch it all burn I want to watch it all burn You’re a quiet little animal, and you’re leading me in You’re a quiet little animal, and I need it Don’t change your mind I need it Don't change your mind I need it Don't change your mind I need it (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out) Don't change your mind I need it (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out) I want to watch it all burn I want to watch it all burn I want to watch it all burn I want to watch it all burn (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out) I want to watch it all burn (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out) I want to watch it all burn (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out) I want to watch it all burn (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out) I want to watch it all burn (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out) I want to watch it all burn (Everyone I know eventually will see their way out)

I want to see what you are I just want to watch you crawl It’s true, I’ll trade a loss for a gain It’s true, I will delight in your pain I have tasted blood, and I can’t get enough It’s true, I’ll trade a loss for a gain It’s true, I will delight in your pain I want to be where you are I want to be where you are I want to be where you are I want to be where you are So now the chemistry is running out I saw it trickle from the corners of your fickle mouth I want to bathe in the glory of the dreadful sound Well, you said you wanted in? Well, you’ve got access now So just try and tell me what you need, what you need You gotta try and tell me what you need So try and tell me what you mean, what you mean You gotta talk to tell me what you mean Know I will be where you are In truth, in life, in death, in light and dark Know I will be where you are In truth, in life, in death, in light and dark I will be with you

So in my life There is no greater relief Than drifting through time Weightless in the wake I made up my mind and left my body to be So I might find the home that I made Enter my blood and raise me up That I may be remade in light And I will burst apart I won’t slowly fade into something else No, I won’t slowly fade into something else I thought that I could change I was clearly wrong This world that I create is where I belong Oh, you drift through night I watched you crumble and be reborn Oh, you’re endless light, a burning arrow So hurry home I won’t slowly fade into something else No, I won’t slowly fade into something else I thought that I could change I was clearly wrong This world that I create is where I belong I won’t slowly fade into something else No, I won’t slowly fade into something else I thought that I could change I was clearly wrong This world that I create is where I belong

There’s a light low at the end of a tunnel There’s an echo in the pit of your memory We had high hopes and they’re quickly receding I won’t say so It might be the end of me I was wrong to pretend this wasn’t happening yet I was wrong to bury my head I was wrong to pretend this wasn’t happening yet I was wrong to bury my head I saw your body change Your thoughts erase and I I saw an empty space Consuming all you know I turned my head away as you slowly dissolve I was wrong You lead into the night And I follow You lead into the night And I follow you down You lead into the night And I follow (There’s a black hole at the end of another) You lead into the night (There’s an echo I’m trying to reach you) You lead into the night And I follow You lead into the night And I follow you down You lead into the night And I follow (There’s a fool’s hope at the end of the tunnel) You lead into the night (There’s an echo I’m trying to reach you) You lead into the night And I follow You lead into the night And I follow you down You lead into the night And I follow You lead into the night

Careful where you leap There’s holes on either side And time is a length of rope My tendency to gravitate a cause Is running wild as I watch you choke Take it easy Take it easy I don’t want to fight Oh, what terrible things we say in the name of love The lines we hide in heartless tones Oh, how could we think To kick out the legs of our throne While tied at the throat by a length of rope Take it easy Take it easy Take it easy Take it easy I don’t want to fight Take it easy Take it easy Take it easy Take it easy I don’t want to fight I don't want to fight I don't want to fight (Take it easy) I don't want to fight (Take it easy)

I will place a kingly crown on a breathless carcass And I will seal the fate I found with an empty sigh I will place a burial shroud to obscure our likeness Lending all the blood I have to a worthless host I won’t question why you try to push me off I could be the one you trust to bring you home I am the drug in your veins I am death, I am song And I’ll watch you sing along I am the depth of your loss I will show you the cost of what it means to know love I won’t question why you try to push me off I could be the one you trust to bring you home I won’t question why you try to push me Know you’re never alone You see it all wrong I’m gonna rise up and carry you home See, the world is ours When we know who we are We’re gonna rise up and burst apart

There is a time and a place for a fantasy It’s coming to an end There is a crack in the hull of integrity Time is leaking in Is there a line in the fine print of everything? Show me where it is I need a sign in the face of a travesty Time is leaking in So tell me if I’m wrong and if I have no place I’m lending all my blood and growing hollow There is a time and a place for a miracle I hope this is it I need it now in the realm of the physical Time is leaking in So tell me if I’m wrong and if I have no place I’m lending all my blood and growing hollow So tell me if I’m wrong and if I have no place I’m lending all my blood and growing hollow So tell me if I’m wrong and if I have no place I’m lending all my blood and growing hollow So tell me if I’m wrong and if I have no place I’m lending all my blood and growing hollow
