The End 03:07
i've been thinking about the end the day my lungs give out and then my vision goes dim and it chills me to the bone everything i've loved and known cut off, cut out a hollow rage growing in the dark losing light and time and track of what i hoped i would become i've been digging up my bones out of pits i dug for years to remember what i don't and it shakes me like a limb that everything i've ever done got gone, got left a hollow rage growing in the dark losing light and time and track or what i hoped i would become i've been thinking about the end and how everything i loved and lost i'll have to lose again
2.
there was a darkness that was rolling through my veins and i hid from the light you gave there was a cold wind that was blowing out my mouth but you were a burning flame you were a burning flame and for all the vain things done by good ones in the dark it never got better but you never got gone there was a harsh word that was rolling off my tongue but you were calm when i came undone there was an apprehension that was tucked behind my ribs but you were a sharper blade you were a sharper blade and for all the vain things done by good ones in the dark it never got better but you never got gone i have got a problem giving up what i've got though you were calmer water i kept flailing my arms but you never got gone

Ghost 04:17
i thought you were a ghost, breaking bread like a newly formed opinion, growing legs but you're an open wound, absolved of its shape like a long-awaited feast without the taste everything you touch turns to gold but you hide it in a place that no one goes you're a broken lock behind a hidden door like keeping out the fire with wooden boards sticking out your chest, you called it safe hanging by a thread, you pulled and swayed you're a higher bid with debts you'll never pay like whiskey creeping toward an open flame everything you loved has gone away the casualty of pride and hope decayed like the cry the crowning dusk extends to day you're the one i always loved but couldn't save creeping toward the end, you hang your head breaking at the knee, you clench your fist lifting up your arm to block the light that gleaming picks you up and pulls you in i thought you were my brother then i thought you were my brother then i called you my brother then and i'll call you my brother then

Cracking Sky 04:25
it came up dead the day we left our hidden fears finally realized i lost it there i didn't mind for you to see me come undone i didn't know that it would be the final fight worth losing having narrowly discovered what i had hid behind a blinding light from the cracking sky when the ash had cleared away i didn't feel the final quake but i could see the hollow frame of everything disappearing was it all for this the glorious the glorious did you mind that we had so many great expectations when the light was drawn away the darkness came we slipped away where we would wait with bated breath for a trumpet wake for a rising a rising

Wild One 04:02
overwhelming you cannot be contained in leather bindings the turn of a word or phrase overwhelming these idols that you break crumbling to the ground in place you were running with iconoclast strides god, you're wilder than we ever thought you would be though we try, we can't pin you down you're a wild one you're greater disconcerting these figures that we form we want more money we want a higher bar disconcerting these idols that we carve controlling like the wind to a sail you were running with iconoclast strides god, you're wilder than we ever thought you would be though we try, we can't pin you down you're a wild one unbound you're overwhelming we build you a house but you keep moving maker you're not done making we gave you seven days but you're still forming so form these broken bodies into gold a great love with a lighter load tear these temples down stone from stone crashing to the ground like broken chains you keep running with iconoclast strides god, you're wilder than we ever thought you would be though we try, we can't pin you down you're a wild one you're greater

barely breathing barely even hanging on a dim light fading you were crumbling from the weight of a broken body a hollow frame when death came calling you broke clean out of your skin like you were running home i still feel you creaking floorboards, rushing winds a picture fading but i keep grabbing for the shape of a broken body a hollow frame when death came calling he broke clean out of the grave like a falling chain but it still stings it still stings when everything you love is fading we all fade we'll all fade but there in darkness we'll be caught up in blinding light the final curtain cut short for the rewrite when all the broken bodies are coming up from open graves and death comes calling there'll be nothing left to give or take away nothing left to give or take away we won't fade, we won't fade every tear we shed in graveyards will sprout and bloom and grow a garden where we won't fade and you won't fade
