Tag:
The weight of dark feels lighter than before.
There is no ghost inside my room.
Verse:
Cause underneath that bed it's not a monster
now I've got in my head, it's just a mirror.
Saw all the things I hate, They're now inside me
but if you saw my past how could you blame me.
Bridge:
The silver skies echo in my dreams, and provide the light to see.
Tag 2:
The weight of dark, like water raining down.
I don't erode, instead I glow.
Bridge 2:
So I can see the fear that haunts my soul
dressed in a white sheet wondering through perceptions of the past.
The silver skies echo in my dreams, and provide the light to see.
Repeat tag 2

Verse:
I can't tell you how, but it feels like I'm alone again.
Can't lift my spirit cause I'm tired from lifting up my fucking hands as if I feel something real.
Background vocals: (can't lift my spirit cause I'm exhausted from lifting up my hands as if I feel something real)
Chorus:
But I can't pretend what I don't believe in.
I just want you to know that i can't be someone else.
Verse 2:
Walk away if you want to
I know there'll be more like you.
But for the first time in a while i feel alive.
Chorus 2:
But I can't pretend what I don't believe in.
I just want you to know that I can't be someone else.
And I can't explain, but I think this black and white should be gray.
Even if I wanted to, I just can't be someone else.

Verse:
Don't be too sure as you speculate what's behind this,
this puzzles missing some pieces.
Surely you can make believe if you want to,
that doesn't make it real.
Bridge:
Don't let fear drive your Bayesian mind, "be still my soul."
Chorus:
Separate in black and white so
eventually you'll understand
what I feel, what I see.
Bridge 2:
I don't know what's under what lies behind
I don't know but I wonder
can't bury my head in the sand
can't live by bad faith.
Background vocals: (so seek and you might find, never mind the hive mind)
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Bridge

Verse 1:
Call: It's overwhelming, it's all just too much
I just don't want to feel anymore.
Response: If you push yourself to love you run the risk of breaking.
Background vocals: (I feel everything)
Call: I don't care, I don't feel a goddamn thing.
I swear I don't feel anything.
Response
Chorus:
Salt and light. Love begets love.
Verse 2:
I once was found, I guess I'm lost,
but I still believe in magic.
But it's hard, but it's so hard.
Chorus 2:
Salt and light. Love begets love.
Trust, not fear. Free at last.

verse:
have you ever felt hollow, like, not inside but underneath you?
or forced picture perfect rationales to fit inside a box?
I think I can see it on your face
dark bruises from a broken form of grace
now you doubt that anything could fill the space.
verse:
you look like you haven't slept, wondering what comes next
accused of suppressing the "truth"
when the "truth" is what's keeping you blind.
(if you walk away) would you still be loved
(if you double down) could you find your answer
(and if you find an answer) would you find yourself too
bridge:
If they knew love, knew love
would they give up for love?
(They can never tell us how the world is.
Truth is what they don't know they're blind to.
They choose to stay asleep and force it
try harder, pray harder.
"Doubt! Doubt!" but never let it go far.
Teach us to question, but never how right the roles are.
Don't look aside, just to the sky, for what is wrong and right.)
chorus:
Homes are falling faster when built upon the stone.
Corrupt inheritance, corrupt inheritance.
Faith is tested faster when the whole things burning down.
Deconstruct and build again, deconstruct and build again
chorus alternate:
(bridge vox in background)
Homes are falling faster when built upon the stone
No one coming forward to embrace those breaking down.
Faith is tested faster when the whole things burning down
repeat chorus

Evergreen

|
Verse 1:
Retake shape
after the God-sized hole was cut out with a systematic blade.
Force feed your wolves the empty rhetoricals
to keep them starved and coming back.
Bridge:
Persevere like an evergreen.
Verse 2:
Put one foot in front of the other.
Don't fall asleep, you might not wake up
Background vocals: (the dark runs away from you when you shine)
Chorus:
In time we learn to see the way
the way the light comes shining through.
And I still believe enough to hope
but rationales don't save you sitting.
Regain the strength and walk.

Verse:
I don't want to say it, but if you're gone
I don't want to live this way alone.
But if you stay, if you stay
what I wouldn't give to be your own.
For you to say this was all a waste
but there is so much more in store for us
Chorus:
Theres nothing I wouldn't give to be loved by
nothing I wouldn't give to be touched by you.
If only you'd take the leap I would catch you
sever the ties, no disguises, I would catch you.
Verse 2:
So place your hand in mine.
It's complicated, I know, but trust takes time/
And if you stay, if you stay
I'd live or die, shield or fight, for you.
Bridge:
You're asking yourself, "Can I love again?
Do I have it in me?" I ask myself the same.
When the cover of dark is lifted we will see again
that we can make it if we try.
Repeat Chorus

Verse:
Mourning came too fast.
I didn't notice kin were calling me,
I wanted to escape, but that's all in the past.
Well I don't hear from you anymore,
I thought it wouldn't last long.
Guess I got some things to work on
but I won't, until it's too late.
Chorus:
Don't run away, don't run away now
I know you're scared, know you're scared
