lyrics

The winds have changed their course, uncertainty has followed in their path. Hope dissolves and bitterness resolve to sift through sand. Allegations of her enemy will lay and wait. Patterns of seeds spread across a drying earth emerge.

And I know that you'll find a way. Faith in hollowed seas. Hunger pangs that guide us forward, or the vector of disease.

Redshifted to exhaustion, a squashed perception of the blinding light. Stripped out of your autonomy, the drunk eye wobble feeling of our time.

Through the thick and thin I've stayed by your side, so don't collapse and fold. Lessons learned aren't always cut from the mold. Dig a little deeper, go ahead and pinch off just an inch. Don't you feel safer now that you're home?

Can you keep a secret? Weathered fingers stinging from the cold. When all we needed was something trust had bought and sold. Reduced to... we're paying dues.
