lyrics

God, you sit so silent
has the blood on my hands kept you quiet?
I have eaten the youth, I have eaten the truth
on a half broken arrow that our rivals used...

These animals became evil
along with these trees
they slowly creep
waiting to snatch me.

yeah.

the stars spin
revolves around it’s discipline
my eyes I cannot control
there’s a light within
in a burning sense
the light expels its confidence
the truth appears to me
and I've been told...

I miss them like I miss the words
When they fell twenty thousand feet
I guess I didn't have to know
there's nothing but an empty room.

I've been told
I've been told
"Then save yourself!"
