Foundations

With his feathered touch And by his grace He grants you eternal life And by his hand We suffer through The torment of our slumber When we wake Decrepit and stripped of our wings We will be forgotten

Countless times I've scavenged my memories (Memories) For the hope and the love That I had once before (Once before) A twisted enigma A figment of my creation While my foundation burns down A living stigmatic vision told me not to drown Inhale the water, I'm sinking quickly now Secrets are the fears that we keep in our lungs Whispers in the dark diagnosed by the sunlight Don't fill the night sky with venomous cries Ocean eyes I cannot lie, I am drowning in time Forgotten by the sirens, I've been living a lie Recreate the being a gentle moment Forever lost in the past In my heart, I know If this is love it will last From the moment I set my crooked sails into this abysmal sea I found a new love for life A grateful respect for it I see now that everyone is born with the same heavy bones And helium dreams as me If only I could reach If only I could speak and shower the world with the same admiration And vision of a sinking ship rebuilt and brought to shore Wouldn't that be glorious? A boat that never sinks A home that never breaks A heart that's never bored See those eyes that never stray, they become hazy empty holes That gaze through the spirit like just another man to wound in war Using all their momentum in their nightmares so they wake up Frozen solid staring at the door Waiting for the rain to cry from the sky to fill the ocean floor Like your fingers tied in knots, a beauty shimmers in your thoughts You look up at the chart A black bird flew out of the sky like Cupid's arrow to your heart As it strips through your chest you smile at the knowledge You stare at your treasure and say "Look, love, I caught it" I woke up face down in the water I washed up on a vibrant shore I dreamt of finding my new heaven Torn apart, I have been reborn I have awoken to discover I'm falling into a world of vagrant lights and sounds Do my eyes deceive me? Could I be dreaming? If this is love, will it forgive me? I woke up face down in the water Torn apart, I have been reborn

We're all aspiring to be So much greater than ghosts Lately, it's been out of reach My wings have turned to stone Do not remember me for what I was Remember me for who I became and forget my flaws Some live their lives hungry, searching for meaning Others waste away, underneath the fucking ceiling Gasping for air, underneath a sea Of self-loathing and misery I claw my ears to silence all of this ignorance Trapped in a blindside of a society If I could go back in time, I'd change it all I'd change it all Oh, no Nobody knows We're constantly falling and failing to find A reason for being alive Hidden in our souls Are crystal keys to expansion And we're dying to feel the light on our skin In our hands We've lost ourselves Have we forgotten just who we are? Have we forgotten— The things that you wanted to say? Do not remember me for what I was Remember me for who I became and forget my flaws This is who we are The ones you thought you could understand (but you can't) And now we are moving on Into the light A place with consolidation of thought and mind I'll pray for you For the sake of progression Don't mistake this for divine intervention Everything is just taken for granted I recognize, we're born into false position Oh no Nobody knows We're constantly falling and failing to find A reason for being alive

An abstract living dream Of a cardboard cut-out meaning Vivid highs and vibrant lies Of a slowly tearing seam We are the plague, these are bleeding souls (It's our time, it's our time to rise up) We need a change, I find that there's a hole inside us all (Hole inside us all) Hearts made of wood You pile into your fire Burn down your white washed walls So you appreciate the roof that falls We are the plague These are bleeding souls We need a change We are bleeding We are the plague, these are bleeding souls (It's our time, it's our time to rise up) We need a change, I find that there's a hole inside us all Terminal viruses, fluctuating through An Immaculate portrait of perfection Mutations progress inside a world in distress You can't escape the deception A catastrophic progression This is the end of an era This is the start of a new Hearts made of wood You pile into your fire As you dance around Dizzy you fall asleep Kaleidoscope eyes Stare through stained glass windows Burn them alive, just to see the embers tremble Starlight is only bright When the sky is clear When the sky is clear We fill our lungs (we fill our lungs) We fill our lungs with the smog And hold our breath, until we disappear

(Take my soul) (Take my pride away) (Bury me deep into an early grave) Take my soul Take my pride away Bury me deep into an early grave Tied down to the floor Writing from anxiety Tired of trying and anxiously searching for doors To a golden existence We'll breathe in the hate and exhale greatness Judgement is a shell and we can break it Give life purpose Give life purpose Take my soul Take my pride away Bury me deep into an early grave Shattering bones Inside your feet We're all wandering Searching for meaning Endlessly We're all wanderers Sleep resets Start again Dig deeper create a canyon and Force the elevation to descend Gather strength Throw your voice into the clouds The rain will kill the fire Flames will fear the sound Can it be broken Can it be forged together Are you proud of the words you've spoken? These words are yours forever Take my soul Take my pride away Bury me deep into an early grave I don't wanna go on this way When the truth is a lie It's a lie

Can you feel the memories drifting into dreams? Tethered to the thought of discovering a cure For genocidic consciousness A drive to become more Can you feel the memories drifting into dreams? Across the golden moments are Seamless realities Dire times call for drastic minds My grasping hands try to grab at angels stripped of flight The woods set ablaze by fireflies I left my fate in their embrace As they grew into flights of stairs, their sparkling dance Stole the air from my lungs A game of change Lost in limbo with no shapes to take (Rebirthed by this deconstruction) Where we lie and wait (where we lie and wait) Falling from the night sky Like decomposing stars This temporary sight of things Haunting shores Searching for the light We are the ghosts of night Constantly struggling to rebuild ourselves We are the ghosts of night We are the wisps of souls that go dance in the air Reformation birthed in dying Wherein the soul that dwells Is the strength to be one again Is the strength to be one again With his feathered touch And by his grace He grants you eternal life And by his hand Reborn are we Awakened from our sleep And when we rise Decrepit and stripped of our wings We will take to the skies Lost in limbo with no shapes to take (Rebirthed by this deconstruction) Where we lie and wait (where we lie and wait) Falling from the night sky Like decomposing stars This temporary sight of things Haunting shores Searching for the light
