lyrics

They're coming for your neck
The axe comes for your head
i'm only hear to reflect past trangressions

They're coming for you next
And the ones you know best
Don't resign to fear and make an honest confession

Sleep's a funny thing
How the mind never slumbers
But dreams they give us wings
And voices like thunder

Each time I blink my eyes
A new shade paints the sky
When it goes red, will I be ready to face them?

Behind me I hear their cries
Their shouts, they cut like knives
I won't turn back for fear I can't outpace them

Give me structure, give me strength
Give me stability, I'm lost and I can't see

Give me patience, give me peace
Give me posterity, Let knowledge curb the pain

Sleep's the strangest thing
How the mind never slumbers
But dreams they give us wings
And voices like thunder

Our very essence sings
How our souls hunger
But we live our lives on strings
'Til we're torn asunder
