Quiet Life

Close your eyes, they've all turned into fire

My greedy hands are reaching out

Holding on for something more

Left to my shelter, hiding my face from the liar

I cross the line in the sand that I drew myself

If it's You in the air why can't I see?

This is the place where You should be

Separated from earth

I stand here blooming in reverse

Separated from the earth

I watch it fall apart again

Separated from the earth

I stand here blooming in reverse

Separated from the earth

My convictions are dead

I've seen the eyes

Seen the eyes of the liar

My confession is that they still belong to me

Vindicated by the eyes

By the eyes of the quiet

(Have I lived)

Have I lived beyond my means again?

If it's You in the air, why can't I see?

This is the place where You should be

I am the barricade standing in my own way

I am the end of the path getting caught in my trap

I am the fake

I am the fiend

I am the king of false humility

Have I been cut off?

Is this all undone?

Have I gone too far to find my way back home?

Are the lights turned off?

Would You guide me back?

And if I make it alive, will there be anything left?

I know

This is all, all my fault

But I can't help point at You

Shift the blame

I'm reaching for the rope with empty hands and calloused skin

I'm finding out

I can't consume

Can't contain

I poured it out from where I used to be

I poured it out from where I used to be

I poured it out from where I used to be

I poured it out from where I used to be

I poured it out

I poured it out

I need to breathe

I need to breathe

I need You to fill these lungs

I need to hear You speak

Do You even have a voice?

Speak

Let the earth melt

Speak

Fill this vessel once again
