They're departing from the docks again.
Where are we is this now or then?
The closer we grow grows so close to the end.
Close to the end.
Wax wick through a window
Beams bright through the waves.
Uncertain futures but I've been here for days
A sign of hope for the distant
A beacon that beckons to the afraid.
Bless yourself with the salt of the ocean
Holy water is not the same
So keep me safe.
Show me how to come back home.
You are my lighted sea and I'm here to atone.
It'll always be the same again
Just keep swimming cause our time is thin
I can't forgive if I already forget
I'm wiping blood from my nose again
So burn through the waves
Through the rain
through the storm
I don't recognize these tides
But I've been here once before
Sound the bells and lets begin
We have another date with sin
Sound the bells and lets begin
We have another date with sin.

Made Way For the Sky

They escaped from the sky and then created a savior
Now his shephard arrives but hes not trying to save them
So high in the heavens they can't tell
That their floating city has turned into hell
Oh father where's your saving grace?
You tore down blessed bridges for this cursed placed.
Murder of crows from my branded hands
Takes hold of your city and your precious lamb
So preach from your pulpit that ignorant bliss
cause i'm armed to the teeth with the devils kiss
Father your flock has gone astray
Followed you blindly to this place
See anchors sinking from the sky
They watched the mainland wave goodbye
He says dont fear
cause there's no equals in this atmosphere
Red white and blue banners
They burn where they hang
You say you're the prophet
But you started this plague.

To Hide Near A Songbird
03:55
|

Wipe away the debt they told me
Wings on a statue
Are you my angel?
The lamb they pray to
This is a scandal
And now you're dressed in innocence
Songbird never leaves the nest
So they locked you in this place
And tried to find a way
To siphon all your strength
So we'll break you out today
You're the bird who leaves its cage
See you fly for forgivness sake
Am I real?
I'm real enough
Not from your heaven
But we'll build the trust
They call songbird
It's time to run
TIme on your island is almost done
Glass broken window
I've got the key
I'll be your hero
If you can save me
And now you're dressed in clairvoyance
Songbird in rapture rest
We can't be caged
I know why you sing
We can't be caged
You know everything

With Mechanical Eyes
03:32
|

So keep the heart
Its still beating well
Insides like machines with no emotions to spill
No one to hold with hydraulic hands
There's nothing left of this tragic man
Man and machine they've become forever confined
Using bolts screws and rivets to seal inside the pain
A mechanical monster with his heart left inside.
Now there's only oil where the blood used to stain.
Are you not bound by biology
Cover you ears to death's sweet sound
They'll keep him alive for an industry
Bury me at least six feet deep so I can rest in the ground
So keep your metal and your engines and your pistons cause
I'll spend forever pushing petals not a slave to some
Titan of industry a mastermind of labor who
Uses the handyman like just another lifeless tool
We're not slaves.

A Last Heaven Send
03:50
|

There's no turning back on the things that I've done
I just live with the choices even though they were wrong
Time bleeds the hours
Seconds stitched into days
My transgressions weigh oh so heavily
As the seams tear with the weight
I don't see that I'm worth saving
Take this chance that you gave me
And make my way back to you on my own
I need someone to settle my soul
These are your words that you've already said
A note that you wrote
Like a secret you kept
This is repentance
A song that we say
Sing along for the bird of prey
So tear into tomorrow where i still have a chance
Its the only place left I haven't said sorry yet

Remind me to make you forget
We've watched the past forget us
And now we can see what's next
This baptism brings destruction
not redemption. It's disgrace.
If I come up from the water
Then the hand will show its face
My ashes your lashes
His dust is my dust
Your eyes cannot hide the other worlds around us
My daughter my daughter, my my how you have grown
I'd watched it all so closely though I had never known
And now I see the different roads that we take
They always lead to here there's no choices to make
Every star at night
Another door inside
Swim through the different oceans
We'll pilot the seven seas
I'll still end up right next to you
And you right next to me
And now we're standing on the sand
The river running through your hand
And the currents getting older
This is how it has to end
All the time I had to break
Promises I didn't know I would make
So put my head under the water
Give you the last breath I can take.
