lyrics

Digging all these holes
Frantic and eccentric
Dear captain lets get to the bottom of this

My eyes have gone astray
Hands have gotten shaky, and you've fallen asleep

Stand your ground boy, and prove how your far gone

(chorus)
Bury Me! Inside!
All these memories

Answer me! I'm Right!
Everything's for show

Call off the search for the night
Our captains done nothing
Oh what these hands have done...

It'll be a cold day in hell
When we...

It'll be a COLD day in hell
When we, show ourselves for what we really are

(chorus)*

Sealing all the exit wounds, taking it back
Color of your complexions faded and sad

Don't say a word
Your vocal chords cracking
We've heard it all before
Don't.
Say.
A.
Word.

I'm just sitting here taking my time
Lets start this all again
Good morning sunshine
Where have you been?

Bringing on the laughter
But eventually disaster

Slowly, the tick of the clock is still
The wicked witch of the west is dressed to kill
Step on through the door but apparently nobodies in the house.
Slip into a dream, my conscience is fading out.

My conscience is wearing out.

Is fading out.

My conscience is wearing out.

CALLS FOR RAIN TODAY!
