lyrics

lives carefully crafted, to keep us distracted
left on the ground below, limits of human scope
tethers like a keepsake, held down last chance failsafe
blinded by lights above, and what we have become

resent those who defy
covet those who confine
reviled against designs
just to see who looks

contagious, can't take this, deranged if we want more
what makes me flee safety ? god save me from what i've become

stuck in a fever dream, come to beg for mercy
and hope forgiveness comes, for the things we've done
time is running out but we're still counting the stars
dust to dust and ash, this too shall pass

a void in space that brings us
face to face with ourselves
race to erase ourselves
just to see who looks

but we want more
and i want more

no matter what it takes, or what it breaks, we want more
and if they want blood, let's give them blood,
cause we want more
just to see who's

watching, waiting
guiding, betraying
lying and wasting
our precious little lives
believing
searching for meaning
some sign of reason
somewhere within the void
but maybe
there's nothing worth saving
why bother staying
after all we've done
what we could
but never understood
the reasons why we should
heed our calls from the stars

A Dallas Welcome recommends:

Black Mass Hysteria
by Knives Out!

Members of Dog Fashion Disco, Polkadot Cadaver and Nothingface. A little bit more 'normal' than some of those bands, but all the cooler because of their other influences. The second album is also out! A Dallas Welcome
