Enemies I wish I'd made Naive hopes of brighter days All the things I wish I'd say It's too late Haunted by the words I lacked Tread upon the beaten path Blood is not the only pact But it's too late Sources of my broken mind Intent on never trying Flames across a broken sky This is no world for men like me But I'm not well enough to leave well enough alone As long as there's power in my arms To raise up the flag for those who suffer I will resist I'm not well enough to leave well enough alone As long as there's faith in the future at heart I'll journey for you Just keep the light on for me Scars that prayers could never heal Weakness that I can't conceal Blackguard's sword and coward's shield It's too late Searching for some kind of soul A reason to give up control But they're just bodies filling holes And it's too late Kneeling on the broken ground No rest until I'm home Finding I've been gone too long This is no world for men like me

Do you feel safe? What is it you found that day? Ruin? What could make you lose your way? Some might say that you're a lost cause But I need your secrets You weren't always this way Whisper what you saw and I will make this easy Through the bone and into the brain Do you feel safe? What is it you feel, my friend? Aching? Dying just to scream your truth? and Failing? Beaten and discarded You still have a purpose Let me show you meaning Be what I've been missing Close your eyes and feel safe Through the bone and into the brain Now be my arm, my tightly clenched hand Around the throat of what makes this world burn What's in your mind is mine Through the bone Through the bone and into the brain

Flags at half-mast For the bankruptcies Interrupted broadcasts and twenty-one guns And the chyrons Scroll the eulogies Full page obituaries Closed coffin and no questions please We were taught from the day we were born To make it no matter how But we all thought that the cash cow had horns Too late to heed all the warnings now It all will be over soon Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be billionaires Or we'll all belong in this oppressive sun breathing poison air We'll always get what they deserve And they'll get nothing in return Playing the long game Holding the big stack Watching for tells and bluffing what we've got It's all house money Not expected to pay it back Subjectivist discretion A topical depression We were told that the leaders we had Would make it through no matter how Cause we all thought they were on the right path Too late to pull over and turn around It all will be over soon Suburban coffins full of green There's barely any room to breathe There's water fucking everywhere But not a single drop to drink A brief diversion and we'll be fine Just mind your numbers I'll mind mine And let me be just let me be Let me be just let me be A bit short sighted to speak of who's been wronged A little daft to think of change 'Cause the last thing we need is to hear what another idealist has to say The dawn's not far away It'll all be all right Just look at the money we made

Too Long 04:59
It's been too long Since I've seen a night like this With the stars like they're painted on the sky A different name for each one Try to give it some significance and difference Scar marks on the world, we're faking discoveries Aren't they lov-e-ly the flags we made Seeking meaning in a sick sort of colonization Of ideas that were barren in the first place It's hard work and the job is never done Turn and face the light of the rising sun (It's been too long) Since we gave this one a try No the message didn't fit But the attitude was right (It's been too long) And I think it's finally time No we didn't stick the landing at first But we'll be just fine They've forgotten or they're gone And it's been too long And I've forgotten half the words And the books are covered in dust or lost The photos have been smudged out Still we're piecing together a purpose and initiative Look sharp so they know we mean business It's a bitter world and that's how we'll capitalize Giving meaning to a struggle of our own invention With intention for impressionable eyes There's a new wind billowing our sails So fill your lungs with the breath of thunder and hail Boy, doesn't it make you proud, but Everybody raise your hands up in the air And wave goodbye like you just don't care You'll be rewarded or unaffected in the end Either way don't blink because it's coming back again

Everything That I thought already gone Is still here I can feel it in the night When they whisper softly Breathing to my mind "We are restless, we are angry we are ready to arise We have seen the dark within you Ever brewing deep inside and we know how simple it can be to let go So just let go" I supplicated to the gods and Got left lying there alone If denial was an ocean I embraced the undertow Felt the angler's light of dying Heard the siren song of ghosts No one was there Late nights no sleep Let the moonlight guide me The invasive screaming in my head Will never be enough to wake the dead Anything Anything to stop the aching in my heart For the ones no longer here When they pleaded crying Falling to my hand I am restless, I am angry I am finished with the lies I accept the dark within me I embrace this inner night If everybody needs an enemy Why not me You can't give back what you stole So lend your hand, relent control
