lyrics

No one is safe
It’s bound to break down
Keep on reaching out
I keep on reaching out
It’s all at stake
And taking its toll.=
Push it into place
Force the fracture of order

Another life
From every inch we have gained and lost again
A better place
What bitter promise have I sheltered in desire
-
Let my heart unravel slow
While I fade into the blaze
Re-emerge when life is still
Only to vanish in its wake

No more faith
No more cold hell
My hands have cut the hand
That guide these hands of mine

To survive
On the whims
Bent and torn
From the distance
All my life
To deform
A frame of mind
I’m here at the alter

A paradise
In every relic we have shaped and stowed away
Another time
Some cherished meaning in a moment long ago
-
When it’s gone we’ve given in
Bound by memory down below
Hold it close, march on within
A life that ends where it must go

No more faith
No more hell
Hands on my face
Pressing down on me
I keep on reaching

“A survivor. Unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.”

To survive
On the whims
Bent and torn
From the distance
All my life
To deform
A frame of mind
I’m here at the alter

I keep on reaching out
To survive
On the whims
Bent and torn
From the distance
All my life
To deform
A frame of mind
I’m here at the alter
