lyrics

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)
