Oblivion

On Due South

Worship the disconnect between blind faith and eternity

Calloused fingers on each scale lean in till the fulcrum bends and bleeds

Countdown

Extinction is bursting at the seams

Flamed out

Running is hard when you spent your whole life on broken knees

Hold on as tight as you can

Steady yourself on shifting sand

The hourglass has come up empty

Broken hearts idolize arrhythmic deadbeats

Don't look up just keep your gaze on me

At the end of the earth we all watch the stars from hands that once held so tight

I love how your eyes reflect the burst of red and orange in the night

We're so numb it hurts

Armageddon pours like cheap wine, anoint drink embracing truth

An aimless savior I'd burn down this church again to savor this moment with you

Fall out

No shelter from the chaos instinct brings

Strapped down

On the chopping block guillotine salivating on our cheeks

Lower this world to its grave

Six seconds till the sun turns gray

Final bows on a crumbling stage

Blessed beginning bore a cursed ending, oh what a hell of a day

At the end of the earth we all watch the stars from hands that once held so tight

I love how your eyes reflect the burst of red and orange in the night

We're so numb it hurts

We don't have to prove our worth

If we're dust, place your hand in mine before the wind blows

We'll mix as we disperse, let the comfort take control as we float into unknown

If we're just dust, wrap your arms around as my form goes

Within your hurricane, we'll drift away and finally find home

Please don't separate

I don't want to be a ghost wandering lost while I'm searching for a shred of truth in the cold

(Woah)

Cause I don't wanna feel, wanna feel some worth

Such a burden we deserve
