lyrics

He felt the whole world forget to breathe.
The cracked pavement: all he could stand to see
and the smell of blood and asphalt rising with the summer heat
Screaming for someone out there, but feeling more and more alone
Pieced together and broken apart,
the day painted red like his sunken, broken heart.

And so he screamed to the god he used to believe in.
Fruitless prayers in the only words he knew to say.
They came out less psalms of the joyful heart
and more curses to a vengeful heartless king.

Shaken and no longer unbreakable,
made in this life to feel so alone.

So with these voices raise like flags to morning suns
and arms no longer tied down,
the sun still stings and stains our eyes
with those same tears.

Wake up.

I've seen the sun at every angle in the sky today, and still no open eye.

While I understand the change of direction completely. I do wish we got one more show where this album was played in full, as there are a lot of bangers slept on here. bdogz
