These errant spaces inside the heart
Light scatters to edges burning faster in the dark
Oh where did the time go
We fell from the tightrope straight down to the ground
Confidence slowly fading

I’m grinding teeth
Sinking deep
Can’t help but lose sleep
When nations trade in deceit and treachery
Disgraced in the face of the facts
But just keep standing tall for that empire of quick sinking sand
No choice
I’m losing my voice to the static
And the constant state of panic
You manage or let it drag you to the grave

The stress and the tension of
Constructed rebellion
Casualties lost to causes
Lost and forgotten

Where did the time go
The line go
We've burned it all down to the ground
Wring out our blood
Not their blood
With a gasp as they all look around

The valour and virtue
The weight of the world
That rests on the martyrs laid down in the dirt
We’re talking in circles
Draw blood from a stone
We drown in the crowds until we’re all alone

For you fate was worth its weight in gold

These errant spaces inside the heart
Covet the light and tear the world apart
An obfuscated line
(Made to be)
Tread carelessly over time

Oh there’s a part of me that just wants to watch the whole world burn
Cloaked figures take the blame
To brand our skin with lessons we refuse to learn
We suffer the same

Everything we fought for falls apart again
Lies that leave us broken at the start again
Everything we fight for falls apart and the
Lies that burn the
The bridge between the head and heart

So play for me triumphant songs you wrote
Bloodstained freedom which you use to gloat
Lights and sirens pulse for deaf and blind
Obsessed with the past with no way to rewind

The valour and virtue
The weight of the world
That rests on the martyrs laid down in the dirt
We’re talking in circles
Draw blood from a stone
We drown in the crowds until we’re all alone

Everything we fought for falls apart again
Lies that leave us broken at the start again
(That leave us broken and alone)
Everything we fight for falls apart and the
Lies that burn the
The bridge between the head and heart
