[Intro]
I see no end to the fight
No ceasefire in sight
A fire growing higher, fueled by ignorance and pride
[Verse 1: Jamie Hails]
Cannibalize our own side
A deadly divide
A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind
Spare me the weight of your sentiment
Spare me the unworthy elements of your heart
Leave me alone with the energy
Leave me with all my malеvolence, in the dark
[Break: Jamie Hails]
Takе what you want when you take me apart
Take what you want
Take me apart
[Pre-Chorus: Jake Steinhauser & Jamie Hails]
(We're running in the dark)
(The dark)
[Chorus: Jake Steinhauser]
All we know is the price we pay
When all is said and done
As we fly too high and burn up in the sun
Burn up in the sun
[Drop: Jake Steinhauser]
(Burn up in the sun)
[Post-Chorus: Jamie Hails]
We burden ourselves as we murder the past
The keys to the kingdom, encased in glass
We prayed for rain, and we got drought instead
And if they gave us wings, they would be made of lead
[Drop: Jamie Hails]
Made of
[Verse 2: Jamie Hails]
I see no end to the fight
No ceasefire in sight
A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind
They'll find us in our homes
There'll be no safe place left to hide
[Break: Jamie Hails]
Take what you want
Take me apart
[Pre-Chorus: Jake Steinhauser & Jamie Hails]
(Is the price we pay)
(We're running in the dark)
(The dark)
[Chorus: Jake Steinhauser]
All we know is the price we pay
When all is said and done
As we fly too high and burn up in the sun
As we race to the end
There's no time left to pretend
We deserve this, will we learn from what we've done?
Or burn up in the sun?
[Drop-Outro: Jamie Hails]
(I see no end to the fight)
(There is no ceasefire in sight)
(A fire growing higher fuelled by burning hatred and pride)
(Cannibalize our own side)
(A never-growing divide)
(A thousand poison thorns press ever deeper into my mind)
