Exposition

Break your act for a moment Here in the cold, the outside seems so far from home, late door shuts the night time in Clock hands applaud, the night owls stare broken and oblivious to me We're tired trying to sleep without this distance The ice breaks the silence you've made from pain And only now do I see clear the excuse you've made to breathe Life is not a race The expression on your face says it all, you'll be bitter till the end You'll stop before the fracture, look the other way this hour I can only hope These words that you never said, goodbye my friend To me, you're so sheltered and it makes you judgmental How can you form your frivolous opinion, when you don't know the answers Cos' I'm not fucking happy with where I am, not gonna stand here and watch this chance escape me Beside the hole that you dug for your grave Time won't heal you You think it's unjust You think it's your turn Time won't heal you This time will be yours, made to hold back like your clutch I have tried before this gets out of hand, before this gets out of hand Your selfishness takes a turn for the worst If you want these dreams of sadness, just hold your fucking breath The ice breaks the silence you've made from pain And only now do I see clear the excuse you've made to breathe The ice breaks the silence you've made from pain And only now do I see clear the excuse you've made to breathe

I know this now, time of death is ten past eight The lights are gone, but thank God the money's safe There's nothing physical in this grave And now you've fucked it As fortune plays its tireless game The rich dictate for now who stays awake Till the end, till the end And am I being selfish? This isn't how it should be Not one eye shut for those, the blessed Watch as the fickle fade away Have some endurance for your self abuse Last it out, put the suffering to use Through your own experiences build up the rest Don't waste it away don't let it regress And now a penitent face stares through the glass The weight bares down upon the decisions you've made Again and again, further away from the life you pictured today As fortune plays its tireless game The rich dictate for now who stays awake Till the end, till the end And am I being selfish? This isn't how it should be Not one eye shut for those the blessed Watch as the thoughtless tear us apart It's not enough to say what you say without action Stand and fight you'll soon realise there's a reason it can't be done Theres a reason you haven't slept, that sickening feeling Theres a reason you haven't wept, when you look at yourself This is the calling, next time no warnings As the shadow looms over, these old structures are caving in All this reality is stuck without a sense of movement On axis we're caught drifting through the gaps You've failed to see clearer, run till there's no more ground to cover Lately I've found that everyone feels that they know who they are And lately I've found that everyone hurts when they find out the truth What if your opinion isn't right? What if your words don't apply? It's all we've come to know Back up against the wall, we are not blind now You're not striving for perfection, you're begging for acceptance There's no escape, there's no escape They've been given new eyes to see through you Time moves on, these lies live on without you

Sounds that swell over tired plains The words you've learnt here to brave Come crashing down No one is to save the dying age you attempt to trade Through all the disdain I've seen the mistakes The first was saying that it was never too late And I was wrong to take the blame Fain for us before they get their way Too late for the things we want to change Time will say how you forgot your way That made you try so hard to find another way Another way Before promise is led astray Now they're gone, I can redeem for the lows had But can't you see, you'll wait there forever As the old me is dead

Do you feel hollow like there's nothing left inside? No hope, no promise for the fading world outside? I see the life inside you that you'd bare to retract This fog is lifting over our aphotic sky I will find the solitary life to lead me home You should try to find your own way (Oh Oh) To find my way back home I will find the solitary life to lead me home You should try to find your own way Tear down the web and start again x2 Wait if you feel like there is no escape Wait there until the old way conveys a glimpse of return When will they progress and stop the obsession Fuelling this regression, far from the free mind we've sown Under it all, you're the same as us We are the invention, you can't overcome Can you see now they've covered your eyes Light rushes in and now you will know the obvious I will find the solitary life to lead me home In removing you from myself I will find what I used to know I will find the solitary life to lead me home You should try to find your own way
