Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Grasping at the edge
Somewhere on the other side
Tending the sleeping ground
Clutching to the knife
[Verse 2]
Slipping out at day
Machinery drowning out
Fortress inner world
Staving off the doubt
[Verse 3]
Wrestling memories
Hold the past in broken arms
Shards cut to the quick
Before the cruciform
[Verse 4]
Morning star is the dawn
Cast the shadow of the cross
Groping in the dark
For answers to the loss
[Verse 5]
Are we waiting just to leave
Is there an answer which eludes?
We stand upon a floating world
Simply staving off the truth
Written by: Jack Donovan, Nicholas DiSalvo
