Visible Unseen Lyrics

[Intro: Garrett Russell]
Speak to me in a language only Lovers can understand
Dance with me in a rhythm only Lovers can comprehend
One fist gripping defiance
Other cradling the sacred inside of our hands [1]: Pariah

[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
It's the pain of becoming [2]
Confronting what stirs within
I wanted to show you apocalypse [3]
So you could see just how this ends as it begins
No place to rest your head [4]
No respite for an anathema
Banished for the sin of honesty
From the citadel of little-hidden hells [5]
Pyroglyphic: I saw Your face inside the fire
Monolithic: A dominance that dictates desire [6]
Ultimatum: Dual damnations dichotomize me
Suffocation: Crushed beneath holy hypocrisy

[Pre-Chorus: Garrett Russell]
This isn't love, this is escape
Exiled into the night
Left to navigate a world that negates our needs
The Visible Unseen [7]

[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton & Garrett Russell]
You're the weight I'll always carry
Through a world so cold, you'll never walk alone
We will find a place to lay our heavy heads
These lonely roads will always lead you home [8]

[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Am I only flawed when I am alive?
Only your child if I live denied?
I ask of you, Benevolence, was I made just to be broken? [9]
Our faith became a silver shield, insulated from compassion [10]
Praising the prosperity [11], repressing their identity [12]

[Breakdown: Garrett Russell]
I'll show you hell is a place, it's in the secrets we keep
Oh God, how those secrets keep me
This isn't love, this is escape
This isn't love, this is escape
Coerced conformity fixed on the dust in their eye
Forest fires rage in mine [13]

[Interlude: Thomas Freckleton]
I never thought to ask
When you said she was asleep, did you hear my disbelief? [14]
The bitter irony, that I wait for God as she dies beside me

[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton]
You're the weight I'll always carry
Through a world so cold, you'll never walk alone
We will find a place to lay our heavy heads
These lonely roads will always lead you home [8]

[Post-Chorus: Garrett Russell & Thomas Freckleton]
We found our place in the disconnect of neglect
These lonely roads will always lead you home
Until our paths converge, give me eyes to see the visible unseen
These lonely roads will always lead you home [15]

[Outro: Garrett Russell]
Speak to me in a language only Lovers can understand
One fist gripping defiance
Other cradling the sacred inside of our hands
