Noises haunt me they're not going away
Noises haunt me my mind starts to decay
Noises haunt me and start to seep in
Noises haunt me and I'm breathing them in
It feels as if my lungs are turning to dust
It feels as if my tongue tastes of burning ash
Noises haunt me they're not going away
Noises haunt me my mind starts to decay
Noises haunt me and start to seep in
Noises haunt me and I'm breathing them in
It feels as if my lungs are turning to dust
It feels as if my tongue tastes of burning ash
It tastes of burning,
Burning ash
Trust in me, when I say:
You won't come out unscathed,
You won't come out in one piece
Trust in me, when I say:
You won't come out unscathed,
You won't come out in one piece
It feels as if you don't care

Towers

We clear our heads in stormy skies
As we tower over this
The courage fades in my bloodshot eyes
A leap of faith to believe in me
I abandon ship
These dreams we've left untouched
Will pass the down time, until your peace of mind
becomes the story
These wings of tainted memories
Can't support my ego's weight
Through these storms and flood tides
From my tempting fate
Words laced with potential
Drowning out all common sense;
For once, we'll see this through
These white lies, and endless drama
Captivate my darkest thoughts
Making the rivers roll back
Making my blood run cold
I'm running out of time to make you
Understand this burden's weight
We scream from atop this milestone
Until vigour runs its course
I abandon ship
These dreams we've left untouched
Will pass the down time, until your peace of mind
becomes the story
If I'm god, then you're my crux
A leap of faith to believe in me
If you're sin, then I repent
A leap of faith to believe in me
So believe in me
When everything seems broken
(Believe in me)
When you can't see the light
(Believe in me)
You can't accept this promise
(Believe in me)
When you can't see the light
So I'll spread my wings
Scream out my name again
Take this chance to catch my breath
(I'm running out of time)

As Gods

There's no light between us
No common ground
You say our paths will not cross
(My eyes scream desolation, my pride is a juggernaut)
There's no light between us
No common ground
You say our paths will not cross
And you make this so with one word
With one action you say "go"
As you point to the door
Go on just point to that door
This score, it's not settling itself
We swim against these tides
These restless nights, these blurred colours
They serve as oxygen for my darkest thoughts
And I can't pretend that I've not seen this ghost before, here
There's no light between us,
There's no common ground
My eyes scream desolation, my pride is a juggernaut
There's no light between us,
There's no common ground
This lack of inspiration fuels my darkest thoughts
I, I'm not angry with you I'm just disappointed
That we could not sew our names
Into the tapestry that is life
These restless nights, these blurred colours
They serve as oxygen for my darkest thoughts
And I can't pretend that I've not seen this ghost before, here
I've never been one for
This sense of security
As we stride the fault line
Hiding our defeat
We can't face the future
Whilst standing on unstable ground
Broaden my horizons
As we stand as gods
I can't stomach this
I can't stomach this
Broaden my horizons
As we stand as gods
