We Are Bound

A slip of a tongue and fist
A slight of a hand like this
Touch of the fingertips
Goes through the note we skipped

- Chorus -

We are bound
We are falling through you
We are bound
We are falling through

A moment of bitter bliss
Licking your Judas lips
Throwing a timeless fit
With tongues of a fire we lit

- Chorus -

We are bound
We are falling through you
We are bound
We are falling through

We follow sons amiss
The sons of the counterfeits
The devil has called me from inside

We are bound
We are falling through

Counterfeit sons, counterfeit sons, counterfeit sons

Stitches

I’m not the only one who sees them
I’m not the only one they keep up at night
I’m not the only one not sleeping
I’m not the only one who’s dreaming out loud
Dreaming out loud

- Chorus -
In stitches here tonight
We are ripping the seams out
I’m pushing hard to tear it loose
In stitches here tonight
We are ripping the seams
There’s something missing
Children of the in between

Daylight to Break

I’ve seen the darkest things
Crawling inside of me
I’ve seen the monsters come alive
I’ve seen the enemy
The nightmare that follows me
Searching the darkness for a light

- Chorus –

Waiting for daylight to break up this room
Waiting for daylight to break
I’ve been alone, in the dark I’ve been dreaming
And waking up without you, I’ve been waking up without you
For too long

Back in the tragedy
I’ve made a mess of me
My bitter means, my bitter ends
I see the irony
It gets the best of me
Dying to be made new again

- Chorus –

Waiting for daylight to break up this room
Waiting for daylight to break
I’ve been alone, in the dark I’ve been dreaming
The day, when dreamers are awake
The sun hits my eyes and everything is right
I’ve been waking up without you,
I’ve been waking up without you,
I’ve been warring alarms
Till you are in my arms
I’ve been waking up without you,
I’ve been waking up without you
For too long

Overthrow

All our pretty roads, fairy tales and crowns, broken on the floor
All our little words, love and peace and love, spoken with a sword
We say overthrow the government, put a new one up instead

- Chorus –

If you can overthrow then overthrow,
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow,
If you can overthrow your soul

Tell me how it goes, the one about the war, the war that killed the king
Our hearts are still the same, stone and ice and steal
Lifeless hollow things
You say overthrow the government, who will save us from yourself?

- Chorus –

If you can overthrow then overthrow,
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow,
If you can overthrow yourself, yourself, yourself

Take me down and lock me up, you can’t change my head, you can’t change my heart
When this old life is done, will we still be the stubborn souls we always were?
Today is our last change to turn around, to turn around
Yourself, yourself, yourself

- Chorus –

If you can overthrow then overthrow,
If you can overthrow your soul
If you can overthrow then overthrow,
If you can overthrow your soul

Connect With The Spine

Take her like a photograph, like any autograph
She’ll find a way to go down,
Watch her like a movie screen, like any drama queen
She’ll find a way to go down

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Play it like a cameo, and watch her overflow
She’ll find a way to go down
Run like a candidate, like any minute made
You’ll find a way to go down

I’m sick of the faces, the scene and the light
We’ll be fine when the faces connect with the spine

Yeah, yeah, yeah
