In the description for the official lyric video on YouTube, Gio Navas said that she “wrote this song right after re-reading the [Fullmetal Alchemist] manga and getting totally in [her] emotions about the Elric brothers”.
[Verse 1]
Mother never wanted to be found
After all the dust was settled
Six feet under wilted petals
Bloody footprints staining hallowed ground
We are all just casualties of
One man's false divinity
[Pre-Chorus]
Far beneath the ground I'm screaming
Reaching out but you can't hear me
[Chorus]
Wait for me
Underneath
The consequence of our audacity
Shameless thieves
You and me
But we all bleed
Not a sound
Falling down
Our names mean nothing once we hit the ground
Take it all away in vain
[Verse 2]
Vacant eyes are dry through all the pain
Hold on to your expired dream
Just promise you'll have faith in me
Catching the horizon on the way
I'll return my arrogance
You'll emerge victorious
[Pre-Chorus]
Clockwork wings are catching fire
The dues we pay for our desires
[Chorus]
Wait for me
Underneath
The consequence of our audacity
Shameless thieves
You and me
But we all bleed
Not a sound
Falling down
Our names mean nothing once we hit the ground
Take it all away in vain
[Bridge]
Days are passing
I am wasting
Endless nights you've stayed awake for
Just a little longer
And I promise I'll even the score
Innocence is unrecognizable
Underneath our bloodshot eyes
I still live to fight the impossible
We'll make it to the other side
[Chorus]
Wait for me
Underneath
The consequence of our audacity
Shameless thieves
You and me
But we all bleed
Not a sound
Falling down
Our names mean nothing once we hit the ground
Take it all away in vain
I'm coming back for you
Just wait for me
