The Unraveling

And all these things that we tie together
Keep unraveling apart
And the light that used to burn so bright
Now is dark

With anger-laced intent we set fire
To the bridges that remain
And they're wading
Through the current now

Drown with the flood of the tears
That have been wept
And I scream to the sky
"No, you are not alone?

If you think that your words will ever make a difference
Think again and carry on
Because the weight behind the hand that holds us is strong
But there is hope in the roar of a thousand pleading cries

And all these things that we tie together
The sound of their tongues being bitten
Is all I hear, as we fire at the whites of their eyes
Then dance on ashes of the world

As we drown with the flood of the tears
That have been wept
With their tongues being bitten
Is all that I can hear
As I scream to the sky
"I need you now", oh
Can you feel this truth now unraveling
Or will you chase the burning sun
Into the sea?
