Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the place where you lay
In the shimmer above
In the rust and the oil
With your mouths full of mud
But you run like a child
Through curtains of rain
In a room made of stone
Your future was made
[Verse 2]
Now there's no where to run to
You forget where you've been
Your shadow is shrinking
In the tightening lens
How many more years?
How much time is there left?
All the rivers reversed
While you counted each step
[Verse 3]
In the veins of the tree
In the strata beneath
In the polished chrome sheen
In the rebar and concrete
Reach up for the hand
Of the glowing half-man
Stand still on the edge
Of the greased precipice
[Verse 4]
Reach out
In a tunnel of steel
Fall through
Oh, it's coming it's real
Breathe in
The glittering dust
Exhale
Mindless
[Verse 5]
Rage on
Helpless
Reach out
Sightless
Kneel down
Fearless
Rise up
Righteous
[Verse 6]
Save us
Formless
Reach out
Mindless
Save us (Save us)
Lightless
Leave us
Soundless
[Verse 7]
Rise up (Rise up)
Righteous
Save us
Formless
Reach out (Reach out)
Mindless
Save us
Lightless
[Verse 8]
Rage on (Rage on)
Fearless
Leave us
Soundless
Leave us (Leave us)
Soundless
Save us
Lightless
[Verse 9]
Reach out (Reach out)
Mindless
Save us (Save us)
Formless
Rise up (Rise up)
Righteous
Kneel down (Kneel down)
Fearless
[Verse 10]
Reach out (Reach out)
Sightless
Rage on
Soundless
