a twilight sky towers
above a sea of lights below
shimmering
like stars
in an august sky
the reflection in your eyes is enough to me fill me with hopefulness
for the moment that one day maybe i’ll feel something
don’t say a word
i know what your thinking
the confines of these tired bones
surrounding such fragile heartstrings
longing for such solitude
a staircase climbs to the heavens above us
i can hear you whispering
sweet meaningless words
swaying
dangerously
while the winds
call my name
calls my name
shimmer like stars
don’t say a word
fragile heartstrings
long for
solitude

the sun sets
below the horizons
the view is almost
as beautiful as you
i grips on the railings as my fear of heights slowly releases me
the sun sets
below the horizons
the view is almost
as beautiful as you
my grips on the railings loosen as my fear of heights slowly releases me
breathtaking (x4)
moonlit eyes
cry tears of discontent
for those who long to be free
to be free
a new day dawns
a familiar sense of peace
washes over me
while the clouds lay in my hands
i can see the whole world
in your honest eyes

Carving

reaching for the skyline my heart
aches for something more than this confinement
i refuse to settle for nothing
i will carve my name in the stars above
i refuse to settle for anything less than
legacy
i will pull the sun close to me with my bare hands
no matter how battered and torn i am
i will always rise back up to fight
i will not be controlled by my past
our experiences don’t define us
it’s what we gain from them
nevermind this world of hypocrisy
we will chase fate that’s meant for us
i cannot wait any longer
i cannot stop feeling like time is running out
i refuse to settle for nothing
i will carve my name in the stars
i will pull the sun close to me with my bare hands or die trying
or die trying
or die trying
or die trying
i will carve my name in the stars with my bare hands or die trying

Paradise

awake
floating
alone
out at sea
on a makeshift raft
built from
built from our memories
lately
i haven’t been getting
any sleep
i won’t make the same mistakes
staying afloat by any means
swimming out to the shore
will you meet me there?
will you meet me there?
paradise lies in your forbidden arms
salt water fills my punctured lungs
tragedies
wash me away
with the waves
with the waves
with the waves
this is paradise
i haven’t felt this way in so long
in the water floating face up
i’ll stay here forever if i could
i found paradise
in your heart
i found paradise
in your voice
i found paradise
in your heart
in your heart

How I Know You're Gone

spiraling
waiting for a change
i’ve been afraid of what i needed
all along
all we have is this moment
all we have is each other’s truths
to grab the farthest dreams that we can reach
only through struggle
we can make our hopes come true
i’ve been so lost falling through this stairway to the clouds
your heart is the treasure at the end of this this map in my hands
your eyes are the key
when i hold your hands i feel like this was meant to be
i’ve been so fortunate
to witness
all of your strength
through loyalty
i’ve been able
to soar the skies
adrift
cast away
i found myself in your honest eyes
i trust you more and more everyday
but for now
i must drown alone
but for now i must drown
all alone
blinded
by aspirations
obsessed
i’ve flown too close to the sun
calm seas
are where i peacefully rest
the murky water
carries me back to the shore
a lighthouse
is my guide
back to you
back to paradise

Truly one of the best thing about this album and the emo-violence genre as a whole are the journeys it can take you on. This album flies by but the distance you travel is galactic.
