lyrics

We will fall into line, we will get better,
But it's so clear this time, that if we could just, settle somewhere.
But in the colony of crime,
We will cheat and we will lie through our teeth.
Cover secrets with scars carved in company's quiet,
Quietly waiting, for somewhere to breath.

We are falling apart, I should have known better,
False speech and false start, a flight without feathers.
I will choke but never conquer the wind,
I am broken, I am breaking the skin.
And I saw the storm, I saw what it could bring.

But if I thought you never wanted this, then I could turn away,
But if I thought you never wanted this, then I could find my back.

There is something you saw, there is something you saw,
There is something you saw, there is something you saw.

But we were lost beneath this skyline, the smoke burned your chalk dust eyes,
And in the weight of their reflection, and under these callous skies.
we learned, that all we are is nothing at all.
But if I thought you never wanted this, then I could turn away,
But if I thought you never wanted this, then I could find my back.

There is something you saw, there is something you saw,
There is something you saw, there is something you saw.
There is something you saw, there is something you saw,
That carved the words, that cut you up.
There is something you saw, there is something you saw,
And now you're too scared to swim.
