American Gothic

Meet me in shallow waters
Leave behind your empty flask
Come on and bask with me on the rocks of the fallen
Together we'll dry out like kelp
Kick off your worn down sandals
They've seen miles of dust and soot
Here take this cup and quench your thirst
Feel the ground quaking
'neath the ball of your foot
We're only human, only human
We're only one step from the edge
We're all mistaken, all forgotten
But here together, we can be American Gothic
Put pen to paper, we can be The Birth of Venus
For now and for always
That night in outer space
The world was mine and you were fair
My hopes were high, your song rang low
Nothing phased me,
To grab the dreams from mid-air
We're only human, only human
We're only one step from the edge
We're all mistaken, all forgotten
But here together, we can be American Gothic
Put pen to paper, we can be The Birth of Venus
For now and for always
Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh
We're only human, only human
We're only one step from the edge
We're all mistaken, all forgotten
But here together, we can be American Gothic
Put pen to paper, we can be The Birth of Venus
For now and for always

Bonds

Bonds all seem so weak to me
Smiles all seem so fake
We've all got chips on our shoulders
Spiraling to the ground
Reaching out like enemies
Across the dotted lines
See right through me
Caught underneath the lights
Keep lifting up this empty glass
I'll press it to my lips
If just a drop then I'll be satisfied
Oh, until I raise it once again
Walking through this filthy door
I'll step inside it's crippled frame
All that's left is broken glass
Oh, from the pictures that weren't saved
You wore a sickness
Infecting me
You wore a sickness
Infecting me
I saw the moon rise
It followed me
I felt the sickness
It swallowed me
I felt I couldn't see the light (x4)
Bonds all seem so weak to me
Smiles all seem so fake
We've all got chips on our shoulders
Spiraling to the ground
Reaching out like enemies
Across the dotted lines
Well, See right through me
Caught underneath the lights
I saw the moon rise (You wore a sickness)
It followed me (Infecting Me)
I felt the sickness (I felt the sickness)
It swallowed me (It swallowed me)
I felt I couldn't see the light (x4)

Walls
06:15

Running through my mind
Tugging out my hair
Want to let it out to you
You don't want to go there
Where do I run to
when the walls are caving in?
I can't explain to you
the condition I am in
Running through my mind
Tugging out my hair
I want to let it out to you
You don't want to go there
So where do I run to
when the walls are caving in?
'Cause I can't explain to you
the condition I am in
Hush little babe
Don't say a word
Often spoken and
never heard
Little darlin' it'll be alright
Just shouldn't think on this
not tonight
Oh, said don't you make a sound
You'll ring the buzzer for another round
See, this is why you can't forget
Neglect your history
and history's what you'll get
It'll be alright
Where do I run to
when the walls are caving in?
'Cause I can't explain to you
the condition I am in

Between Life and Living
07:36

Oh, in the evening
'fore the morning comes
'fore the morning sun
will rise
We know to lift our heads
to the shadows around the bend
where truth, it's all laid out
No future and there's no past
yet somehow all
the memories last
Free from corruption
free from the lies
no limitations
no ties
No ties
No ties
You can feel the lightness
Oh, to no demise
Bit of clamor
From down below
the reach too far
Oh, for them to go
Oh, a tape reel's frozen frame
all the pieces, they're being played
No roll of the dice
could shake their hold
No ties
No ties
You can feel the lightness
Oh, to no demise
Oh, in between
the moon and sky
That's where the stars
oh, and the staircase lie
Oh, the border between
life and living
Where truth
Oh, it's all laid out
No ties
No ties
You can feel the lightness
Oh, to no demise
Ohh
You put your hope in
a world that you don't know
So put your arms around
something sweet and slow
something sweet and slow
Ohh
