were(the WIld) Wolves Are - 2019

  • So close to nothing
    til the lights begin to fade
    and all I radiate
    is all you'll ever need until the day
    Saviour Fluorescent
    Ill keep you dry in a dark sea
    or just a station til you find yourself
    something better down the street

    Now she's dancing through the street
    as if the music never stopped
    yeah shes everything I never knew enough to have forgot
    whats the point pretending that I'm not here to stay
    I'm just a fixture catching glimpses
    as she's dancing away.

    Staring as she moves so deftly
    like clockwork out of time
    to the sound of claws unclenching this floating rock
    as they place it into mine
    and she'd still be spinning if the sun forgot to glow
    but for now she's spinning like were everything
    and that's all I need to know.


    Now she's dancing through the street
    as if the music never stopped
    yeah shes everything I never knew enough to have forgot
    whats the point pretending that I'm not here to stay
    I'm just a fixture catching glimpses
    as she's dancing away.

  • Blood soaked in sand
    where shadows grow tall
    and legions lay leveled with the drop of your jaw
    To charge into hell to rise from the crawl
    I'd be your devil if anything at all.
    What would you steal should fresh bowstrings not break?
    And what would I feel if through new ropes I wake?
    These honor bound bonds made from each lock you take
    What was my price What did you make?

    The crowd erupts as cannons
    every shot fired's one for you they cry
    as much as they would like to see you win
    You know that hey would much rather watch you die

    Now I scratch at my face
    to sharpen these horns
    and hate til I'm numb
    til I cant feel the scorn
    The way this head hangs
    once such valiance torn
    My past wouldn't guess that I've ever not worn
    burn blackened eyes
    Of Samson Chained
    I'd tear us down if you could promise me your pain
    See from my throat,
    spill pride as rain
    I needn't hope as these columns come falling

    The crowd erupts as cannons
    every shot fired's One for you they cry
    as much as they would like to see you win
    You know that hey would much rather watch you die

  • She's the glinting diamond
    On the flying trapeze
    Silhouette on the pinhole night sky
    With the birds and the trees and everything

    Miles above the skylines city
    Here's the body that heaven boasts
    And it soars like she sings
    And it floats like a ghost it goes

    She'll acquaint you
    With the pain of breaking
    As the horizon steals the red taillights
    And everything gets smaller and smaller and smaller

    Whatever she reach for
    Doesn't have to reach for her
    She can shatter just like everyone else
    And just like everyone else,
    Her mosaic will be built someday

  • I'm blessed with sun
    Where once had all been dark and somber
    Instead of basking
    I'm just waiting for the rain
    Not everyone was meant to leave on happy endings
    Some of us are just allowed less pain

    And Now I'm waiting for blue skies to falter
    I'm waiting for the black clouds to return
    I'm Waiting for the ground to crack from underneath and my feet and take me down
    To where I'm safe and sound and watch me burn
    Watch me burn

    You've shown me colors I've not seen
    So many things I cant begin to know the meaning
    I'll admit it caught my eye
    But when I return to myself
    These thoughts will gain dust on the shelf
    And in the end it'll just keep killing me inside

    And Now I'm waiting for blue skies to falter
    I'm waiting for the black clouds to return
    I'm Waiting for the ground to crack from underneath and my feet and take me down
    To where I'm safe and sound and watch me burn
    Watch me burn

    Oh oh oh (X alot.)

    to where I'm safe and sound and watch me burn
    Watch me burn

  • We walk on broken ankles
    From the city to the sound
    Once the singing of the sirens now the beying of the hounds
    Looking for familiar faces in the darkness of the crowd
    Cause in the sun Vampires sleep their deaths away.

    So I rifle through my pocket for a silver tongue to bear
    Blades of hate and insecurity 'fore the demons know that there
    Be a man who walks among them in disguises that they where
    Or so I tell myself So I can sleep at night

    And we scream til we're stripped
    Of the need to forget
    Every dance Every step
    What was right?
    Now what's Left?

  • Walking down a dark street
    Through a story with an ending I don't know
    Leaving behind all of my promises
    With just a case in tow
    Without a care at all that all the old beat pathways wouldn't show
    And nowhere i really need to go

    After some lost time wandering
    I began to feel the strain
    Despite all I had left behind what I kept still manage to pain
    If I continue now I knew there would be nothing I could gain
    And there's no reason to feign

    Because I'm bolder now than I have been
    Yes I'm bolder now than I have been
    And these steel locks keeping me locked wont be freezing
    When I leave them at my heels
    Cause I'm bolder now than I have been

    As the air lifted my shoulders
    and the wind lifted my feet
    It felt so good to feel so good
    that I had refused to retreat
    As I continued on it seemed that every man that I would meet
    Never seemed as tired as me

    Once I chose to remember
    I learned that it wouldn't go away
    Despite all I had shed what I kept had still managed to weigh
    For lack of a better word
    The emptiness had long chosen to stay
    And I concede there’s nothing strong as yesterday

    Because I'm bolder now than I have been
    Yes Im bolder now than I have been
    And these steel locks keeping me locked wont be freezing
    When I leave them at my heels
    Cause I'm bolder now than I have been

    The day I met the ocean was the day I learned the road did end
    Now everything was gone and I'd forgotten why I had began
    I looked into the infinite and screamed the message I would send
    No one really cared to pretend


    I looked down at my nakedness tried to remember what I'd known
    Time and distance had a way of turning all my tragedies to jokes
    But I'll admit I was much too tired to want to be alone
    So I turned and started home

  • You're searching for another rung to reach out for
    Looking off the last edge of the world
    As shadows dance quiet across creations eyes
    Are you the only who's still surprised

    Sailing deep waters for each rogue wave you could find
    Running from the home you left behind
    May not be what you want but maybe what you need
    So for now baby lay you head down go to sleep.

  • Translucent broken angel clings to shore
    Listing lazy long the sea
    This gravity is to abhor
    Are you impressed by anything?

    You're beautiful
    but you question my taste
    I've seen you so regal and full
    but my vision is to waste

    How can you breathe with that tight lip purse and stare?
    Now can't you see that you're better off down there?

    Countless every days wash off your back
    Careening absent from the fight
    Thick yellow cellophane attack
    Blue pooled with oil in the light

    On an air you glide
    A photoexcitation
    Like none other can fly
    Expecting admiration

    The visage looked upon to set to stone
    Is this the fluid work of art?
    Is this the skill you choose to hone?
    Is this the quintessential start?

    Free from peer or bloom
    Your umbrella shields emotion
    When the new tide looms
    Will it still be your ocean?

    What can be helped
    When your toxic claws are hid?
    Not to push or pull
    Like everybody always did.

    Are you sunken have you drowned
    Are you everything I lost and never found
    The virtue you're the sin
    and I'm everything that won't let me begin
    That creeping sense of dread
    and tiny voices swimming through my head
    Full of lies and all so wrong
    Had what I seen been nothing all along
    I'm healthy not the hole
    you used to dump the remnants of my soul
    I'm lucid I am proud
    and not just everything that I'm allowed
    So much wasted on the tryst
    and not a single thing that I will miss
    So permittance to exist
    Dictates the cry of triumph
    and it goes a little something like

  • I read alone
    To pass the time since you've been gone to learn
    How to never be alone again
    And I'll take you home
    From the hole in which they told you that
    You'd never roam no more
    A Face like yours
    Don't deserve to be hidden away

    If I could step inside
    The house we built where I could hide then I'd
    Be safe only under caring eyes
    And I won't lie
    If the skeletons I'm hiding are the only ones you'll find
    Don't be afraid of the person inside
