lyrics

ALL WE ARE

On a dark cold night, I have come to trap the light
I’m the concave on the straight and narrow road that you have taken
I’m the water in your lungs, I’m the noose that you have strung
So go on take the plunge and I will be the bones that you are breaking
I am those bitter pills, I am every drunken swill that slowly poisons you
And clouds your mind enough that you’ll be taken
I am your birth right, I am coming in the night
You can run but there’s no damn way that you will be escaping

So I’m your ebb and flow, you’re a shark moving towards shore
I’ll fill the harbour from the bottom to the top and let it storm
And then when I justify and sacrifice my pawns tonight
And leave a daughter in the water I’ll write a song to make it right
So now everybody sing oh oh oh…… And now everybody sing oh oh oh…. (2x)

I will let go with every broken note
I am your harmony in me you will find hope

All we are is a million tiny burnt out superstars
All we are is the sound of an allegory from afar

On a dark cold night I have come to trap the light
I’m the concave on the straight and narrow road that you have taken
I am your birthright I am coming in the night
you can run but there’s no damn way that you will be escaping

I will let go with every broken note
I am your harmony in me you will find hope
