This town has its claws
Buried in my neck
This town it takes lives
Without mercy
Without hate
The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies
The grass is growing
On top of my feet
I'm sinking
Won't be long
Before i'm too deep too run
The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs
We are the dead ones
We are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break
Our steps seal our fate
Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
There's no hope left for these souls
Every step i take
I leave a small piece of myself behind
Soon there will be nothing left
The cracks in the pavement
Match the cracks in their weathered skin
The sky's a brick wall
The ground's a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer
Between them, i am caught
I stare in amazement
I can't believe this is where i live
Every breath i take
I feel my lungs seal
this breeze feels more like shards of glass
I'm more scars than skin
Our steps seal fate
This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls
This city, this city is haunted
Oh! Walk with us, Oh!
Damn! Walk with us!
All blossoms die in the light of our new culture
Find your belief in that which cannot be discovered
Countless lessons lie in every fever dream
A million voices asking, what does it all mean?
I've lost all direction
I've lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature's indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Two hands come together to pray for greater yields
Two poles of a compass guided by a field
In the mind of every man, two ghosts dance
Was this place made, or was it here by chance?
I've lost all direction
I've lost all my direction
And now I wish, that I would have believed
Could have believed
Escape, escape
Nature's indifferent hand
Retreat, retreat
To the bliss of our creation
We were born and raised
To live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
Uncountable numbers written in new fallen snow
I can hear the claws of the beast tapping at my window
Nihilist sleeps and in dreams he sees god's face
Realize even disbelief requires a leap of faith
From birth to death, we search for what's yet to be known
We and hope and pray and ask, but we are never shown
Born and raised to live beyond
The heft and weight of a world undone
Like a bird from the north
Our hearts will roam in search of warmth
