Harbinger

I'm staring through the static

I'm sensing that we stand on unstable ground

My words fail me now

Show me what my eyes won't see

Show me what my mind won't believe

I'm struggling to peer through the fog

Do we all have to suffer to see we were born to bleed?

I'm picking up the loose ends

I'm digging to the roots through the soil to see

What is there for me

Tell me where the heartsick go

Tell me why we all still follow

I'm starting to see through it all

Do we all have to suffer to see we were born to bleed?

We were born to bleed

Knowing well, we're soon to be

Just a feast for the crows to dine on

For the crows to dine on

Just a feast for the crows

I'm staring down the barrel

I'm cutting to the marrow, right through the bones

Of a haven I once called home

Take me where the grass won't grow

Take me where the trees are hollow

I've been digging to the roots of all that I know

But it's still not enough to believe in the words we preach

We burned every page out of the book

If we all turn our backs to the storm when the walls are breached, oh

And I still cannot bear, bear to look

When our burdens pull us over the edge

We'll fall fast enough to feel our lungs give out

As we float through the static and sound

Dead eyes stare through the veil

Pulse weakens, words fail me now

Except to say we're a lost cause
