lyrics

And this is not your fight,
I know you try so hard,
But all this desperation,
just serves to tear us apart.

The anguish, the panic and feelings of loss,
the pain behind our eyes.
The hopelessness that grips us,
Dragged onwards by the tides.
The emptiness that takes over when you fight
for some control.

And in our darkest moments,
in the throes of fractured pasts.
Praying for apathetic answers
when this breath could be your last.
The black of the Abyss defines you whole.

These city streets seem dead to me,
we're too far gone,
These city lights just blind our eyes.
We die alone.

And this is a futile fight.
And yet we still fight on.
But all this desperation.
When we'll still die alone.

Yet when it holds us tightest,
And hopes a distant flame.
It's then we scream the loudest
because God, it eases the pain.
The black may have my mind but it will never take my soul.

I'll tear out my lungs,
and cast them across
this empty canvas of hot white fear.
The bloodstained violent birth of a brand new frontier.

These city streets seem dead to me,
we're too far gone,
These city lights just blind our eyes.
We die alone.
These city streets are dead to me,
But we must go on.
These city lights still blind our eyes.
But we'll make this home.

And though our time here's short,
Even when we feel so weak.
We'll leave a mark
That's more than 3ft wide and 6ft deep.

We are a long time dead,
And we will carve our own path.
We are a long time dead,
It's time to make your mark.

These city streets are dead to me,
we will go on.
These city lights still blind our eyes.
We'll make this home.
