lyrics

well I've been wrong
and hurt for so long
like woken from a slumber embrace
this void left unfilled
digging out at my darkest hours

we know we were mistaken
and every word was a broken fragment
breathe in, let them sink
burning lungs for an empty promise
laid to waste now

where's the answer?
constant and heartless
for when the truth turns
you fix the frame
the rest is left unchanged

sometimes your silence is the storm
you sewed your eyes shut on this mess
but where's the answer?
consider time a rival in this game

I know it's been so long
can we say we were lost
and desperate?
when we knew about everything
begging sand to run down more slower

and there's no such thing
as middle ground
you'll speak or you won't
you care or you don't

these days
i'm a nameless stranger
these days
i'm a speechless preacher
laid to waste now

where's the answer?
constant and heartless
for when the truth turns
you fix the frame
the rest is left unchanged

sometimes your silence is the storm
you sewed your eyes shut on this mess
but where's the answer?
consider time a rival in this game

an empty mouth
to a vacant ear

missing pieces
yet to be found
doomed and unrested
fated to our elusive hopes

for all things unsaid
to stay just as they should
I sense in all farewells
the hint of an excuse

and I know the same way
that you were a frale bliss
that these days
have no tomorrows

these days
are just about to end
the same way

where's the answer?
constant and heartless
for when the truth turns
you fix the frame
the rest is left unchanged

sometimes your silence is the storm
you sewed your eyes shut on this mess
but where's the answer?
consider time a rival in this game

an empty mouth
to a vacant ear
