Lyrics to Forgotten Tongues
And I've lost my way trying to believe I'm okay
Living with the guilt of every mistake I've made
I saw you weep
Give you all my blood
Watch it leak my fates
Cascading crimson life (cascading crimson life)
I carry every time
The light inside your eyes with dark
Sinking a matriarch
So redeem me
Come make me in the serpent, new
A depiction out of view
Come break me down
And build me up like energy
I gave you all my bones
Watched you build a throne
Only to break us down
Never count every line
Balanced every time I try to bargain with my own life
To believe I am worth anything
Come make me in the serpent, new
A depiction out of view
Come break me down
And build me up like energy
Why do I even try to find?
It all turns out the same
Pulling punches in the rain
To keep you here
Do you believe me now?
If I bare my soul?
Or will you cast me out?
If I lose control?
And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears, and upon the wheels, upon the leavers. Upon all the apparatus. And you’ve got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it to the people who own that unless You’re free the machine will be prevented from working at all
What a desolate view
Definition and truth
Like sand through an hour glass
A candle above me
Decided to die
In whispers you'll hear them say
So give me all
You can give
Stay standing still
Life just isn't long enough to wait for you
Don't make the same mistakes
A heart without a place
I am my own saving grace
Don't make the same mistakes
My mind cannot erase
I am my own saving grace
Living with the guilt of every mistake I've made
I saw you weep
Give you all my blood
Watch it leak my fates
Cascading crimson life (cascading crimson life)
I carry every time
The light inside your eyes with dark
Sinking a matriarch
So redeem me
Come make me in the serpent, new
A depiction out of view
Come break me down
And build me up like energy
I gave you all my bones
Watched you build a throne
Only to break us down
Never count every line
Balanced every time I try to bargain with my own life
To believe I am worth anything
Come make me in the serpent, new
A depiction out of view
Come break me down
And build me up like energy
Why do I even try to find?
It all turns out the same
Pulling punches in the rain
To keep you here
Do you believe me now?
If I bare my soul?
Or will you cast me out?
If I lose control?
