[Intro: Ben Murray]

Calculate this life with the precision of a knife

Through the dreaded rise

And on into the starless nights

Analyze my every waking breath

And scrutinize this sterile path to death

A once vibrant soul, stripped of light

And shot into the dark, unforgiving cold, cold

[Verse: Ben Murray]

Do you know what it's like to die?

Well I know what it's like to be chewed up and spit out

Of this pathetic cycle of life in two records time

So watch me get back up

And brush off the decay, the dirt, and dust

Only to fall back through

Straight to the hell I swore I'd never return to

[Chorus: Laura Nichol & Ben Murray]

Oh, how I long to feel alive

To be thrust into the depths of midnight skies

To prove my worth before I'm thrown to the lions

To claim my throne on top of the world defied

Oh, how I long to feel alive

To be thrust into the depths of midnight skies

To claim my throne on top of the world defied

[Outro: Ben Murray & Laura Nichol]

But these days and weeks blend seamlessly together

These days and weeks blend seamlessly, oh

Into an emptiness that I'll barely remember

An emptiness I'll barely remember

It's hardly a way to waste away

"But it's what we're given"

I won't settle for it, I won't settle for this
