lyrics

Downtown and the sound surrounds me
Treading water in an ocean of souls
A wet grave as the wave just flows
Right back through me
There’s no choice when the voice compels me
Can’t run with both feet in a hole
A dark cloud of a crowd like thunder rolls
Right back to me
Rock hard but the lightning scars me
Gone blind in a sliver of time
Dead eyes go wide as it slides
Right back through me

Eight billion tongues flicking
And all those teeth clicking
No mind, just a need to bring you pain

Sometimes when the lies confuse me
I space out ‘til there’s nothing at all
Transcend ‘til I bend and I fall
Right back through me
I shut down when the world disturbs me
One mind means nothing at all
When the monster collective scales the wall
Right back to me

Eight billion fingers poking
And all those throats croaking
No words, just screams to bring you pain

I’ll stand tall and blessed
To face the redness in the West
All roads lead to the end
My wounds are dressed
As I embrace the redness in the West
All roads lead to the end

Speak up and the words corrupt me
Context means nothing at all
No sense, no sound, just crashing down
Right back through me
Face down in the pain it deals me
More real than ever before
I beg for less and scream for more...

I’ll stand tall and blessed
To face the redness in the West
All roads lead to the end
My wounds are dressed
As I embrace the redness in the West
All roads lead to the end
