The Blank Static Screen

[Verse 1]

Dare I ask you this?

Where do you stand as a come and go acquaintance?

I’ve been pondering around this bond for sometime now

What have you been?

What have you been hiding in?

Is it in the tall forest?


[Refrain]

Won’t he listen?

(Won’t he listen to the voices calling his name?)

Will he attempt?

(Won’t he listen to the voices calling his name?)


[Chorus]

I’ve been laying on the other side

Where they're all waving goodbye behind a fake frown

Feeding lies to the ears of a brother that has been lost

Trying to find a way back home


[Post-Chorus]

But stumbles on the roots he made

Wandering, wandering


[Verse 2]

As he barks, the words that have no meaning

I try to paint a picture in my mind of how things used to be

As you say your speech, the blank static screen

Is trying to make the channel clear

But gets interrupted by your careless heart


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

Walking backwards (Sinking down)

Straying away (Falling away)

Looking at me (From me)

With a face afraid of (Please help me)

Being a false witness to this never-ending case

The thought of empty-handedness is having its way

(So stop running away) from me


[Bridge]

(Away we go tonight, but we’re far from our goodbyes)

(Away we go tonight, but we’re far from our goodbyes)

The end lies in your hands as we are keeping set minds

The end lies in your hands

(Away we go tonight, but we’re far from our goodbyes)

As we are keeping (keeping set minds)

Keeping set minds!


[Chorus]

I’ve been laying on the other side

Where they're all waving goodbye behind a fake frown

Feeding lies to the ears of a brother that has been lost

Trying to find a way back home


[Chorus]

I’ve been laying on the other side

(But stumbles on the roots he made)

Where they're all waving goodbye behind a fake frown

(Wandering)

Feeding lies to the ears of a brother that has been lost

Trying to find a way back home


[Outro]

It’s an empty page (It’s an empty page)

With growing age

It’s bound to flourish again

It's an empty page (It’s an empty page)

With growing age

It's bound to flourish again
