lyrics

From one man's loss we'll all get tossed to the side
We'll learn from failure from each other we'll hide
Successive thoughts of truth changing the tide

Duck from the winds pretending to pin back our ears
Speaking in riffs & asking them if they can fear
They'll bully our brain keeping our thoughts unclear

Swelling from hatred speaking in sacred tongues
Wishes are sold keeping the old feeling young
Selfishly unwinding our minds until they're undone

Freezing a smile, walking for miles in peace
Holding it in while keeping a grin on your face
Following in line your sheep take their place

Rot through your will no reason to kill off your sons
Pledging the right to stand up and fight off your guns
Kneeling in front of a man whose worshiped and spun

Holding a flag that's labeled a tag on your soul
Pricing the truth life ice on your tooth is cold
Both side of the past are not so easily told

Avoid all the cracks directing you back to your home
Falling like rain with nothing to gain or atone
Severing ties to the ones who left you alone

Spitting a portrait it's likely you'll know it in time
Ceasing your ears to hold back the tears from your eyes
The strings that ties up your tongue start to unwind

Racing through thoughts my time has been bought and burned
Rigid in sin this deal is the end of our turn
Black is the road my eye sits on the stern
