You'll find it in any room of ten
Shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh shh
The hollow won't make room for them
But they need it more than you
More than you
You'll drink and smile then fall in denial
The wolf's teeth may break if it strikes any harder
oo
oo oo oo oo (oo oo)
oo oo
oo oo oo

Fuck
I will see you burn
See the whole world burn
You're a peasant
I'm your queen
Now face the chaos in between
Sleep soundly in the sand
We're all to young to die
But I close my eyes to see
You hanging over the edge of the balcony
Above the fire and anarchy
You drop into the crowded streets (Don't say you don't deserve it)
Goodbye to your memories
Now I will wipe this world clean
And he named West will be first
You're not the only fish
In the dried up sea
To asphyxiate
Thrown on the fisher's desk
Shown to the people who
Eviscerate
They never expected me
Why you gotta be so mean?
I was a mockery
Now bite the pillow
And breathe deeply
Why you gotta be so mean?
Why?

On the other fold, I was greeting you
My stay wasn't long, just wiping the dirt from my shoes
Where'd you go
Cause I can't talk
To the voices in your head
That said it's time to go
Tales told too long, you don't have a clue
Ten miles long, the walk back to you

You walk right through me
Like you're holding sand
Like I'm second rate
You're caught up in
In your own snow globe
In your own venture
A spectre or ghost
That's all I am to you
Let's close it off somehow
Let's keep it from hurting anyone
Let's board up all the doors
Though I'd tear down all these fucking walls for you
So what is a person supposed to do
When things couldn't be worse
I think you're good as gone
How swiftly can laughter fade

Clouded weather
Pouring tethered souls to the concrete slab
All but never
Tried to remember, but you forgot your beter half
Like a plush you lost as a child
On the side of the street on broken glass
'Til the next time, we'll burn slowly
And let it go
'Til the next time, we'll burn slowly
And let it go
'Til the next time that we're holy
I'll let you know
'Til the next time, we'll burn slowly
And let it go
Don't fear your dreams of fire
Or what it could've been
Show me that you know me
You're who made the mess
But I won't let you fall deep
Even if the world ends
'Til the next time, we'll burn slowly
And let it go
'Til the next time, we'll burn slowly
And let it go
'Til the next time that we're holy
I'll let you know
'Til the next time, we'll burn slowly
And let it go

Don't you know that they can help
You're a danger to yourself, my dear
A poisoned mind will others melt
It's only you you need to fear
This is not a punishment
You must find solace in our judgement
Retaliation won't find you we give you our word
We understand your state of mind
The wordsmith's found his own way out
Even if the world finds fire the swift won't be to blame
"R you know it's not true
You haven't done enough
They're mocking you as JC's mother
These walls won't hold against her furor"
This is not a punishment
You must find solace in our judgement
Retaliation won't find you we give you our word

It's funny how items lose meaning through decades of abuse
As I look through my shelf one last time
They'll be throwing me in the dungeon with the beggars and the fools
But I know a king never dies
I peer down on my keepsakes keeping tabs on the time
My hourglass is losing sand
With no self-awareness a storm is gathering
Am I heaven enough to stand
'Am I just heaven enough
just heaven enough
just heaven enough?', she sang

Haunted
By a memory
Wanted
But you'll never remember me
Just a mannequin
Dressed in quilts to be
Forgotten
So now all our hopes
And all our dreams
Lay under the glass shards
So tomorrow
I'll be swaying outside your window
And I'll be gone
Hollowed
By your choices made
Swallowed
Up by this grave
It's funny how no idea remains
We stopped caring about the nature of it
Wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time
My hollow head and your dead eyes
I was so close to home

This place is like cancer
But I've got nowhere to go
Pretend I found the answer
But I lost it long ago
And when those doors do open
Will I fix this state of mind
The truth is I was hoping
That this would save all our lives
Yet here we are
They've got plans for me
Gone too far
It don't mean anything
Whatever
It don't matter
I'll be there
Wasting time
I heard that
It won't matter
If we lay back
And die
Sometimes I remember
But the years they come and go
Think of last November
When you said you're coming home
And lately I've been tied up
In the bed that I made
Scratching notes onto the wall
To compensate
Here we are
Got no plans for me
Gone too far
It don't mean anything
Whatever
It don't matter
I'll be there
Wasting time
I heard that
It won't matter
If we lay back
And die
You said you were coming home

From the moment I first looked to the
Sky to see it all fall to the Earth
Raining ash onto the seas and
Burning holes into the atmosphere
Know now we were all born guilty
Cold and filthy
Someone help me now
From the edge of fallen cities
I see the world scatter to the ledge
Nuclear weather spins silent
A storm that finally reached it's end
It's all my fault

She stood by the wooden rail
The water drank the world away
And we saw the city across the bay
It was too old to be fun
Captive in an unlikely place
I'd pay money to sing anything
That was a different time
Reaching for the change
Dancing across that line
Never crossed my mind
Too much looking backwards
Taking an easy ride
Eaten away by shadows
Blocking out the sun
Headfirst into the chaos
Running back to home
My homeland
I'll stand atop the moss
But we never knew your name
The Swift takes joy in their sadness
The swaying poet by the pole
The world was colored scarlet
But the cat still sees doom
That was a different time
Reaching for the change
Dancing across that line
Never crossed my mind
Too much looking backwards
Taking an easy ride
Eaten away by shadows
Blocking out the sun
Watch me as I fly
Watch me as I die
I'll see you on the other side
Rachel, Rachel, Rachel
You've met a terrible fate, haven't you?

Dry
In your ivory tower
I kept all your messages
You make your own luck
A game they call luck
So happy to be mean
Clearrrr silence
You had me now when sparks fly
I was born guilty
So make your own luck
Or be born guilty
