A lyric a day

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break

Small chambers shrinking til they vanish Wolves in the hallway gaining ground Reach down to the moment when I should've said something true Shadows and their sources now stealing away with you

And high above the water The eagle spots the fish Every martyr in this jungle Is gonna get his wish

See that young man who dwells inside his body like an uninvited guest

Crawl 'til dawn On my hands and knees God damn these vampires For what they've done to me

Clutch those broken headboards. Ride the highest wave. Dusky diamonds shining in the far depths of the cave. Try to explain ourselves, Babble on and on. By the time you receive this, we'll be gone. Sing. Sing high. While the fire climbs. Sing one for the old times.

Stay alive. Maybe spit some blood at the camera. Just stay alive. Stay forever alive.

In old movies people scream Choking on their fists when they see shadows like these But no one screams cuz it's just me Locked up in myself Never gonna get free

Scribble cyphers on the library bathroom wall. Map a path from here to home. Can't quite catch em all. Calculate magnetic north, And turn the other way. Wait for the coming disaster, I could do this all day.

Keep one step ahead of enemies. Foretell worse things than such frightful nights as these. Lead us to the beach by our hands, And bury us there in the sand.

Dream of maybe waking up someday, And wanting you less than I do. This is a dream though, It's never gonna come true.

On a picnic bench alone, Watch the sky go dark. Dig my nails into my hands, Hope it leaves a mark. I think I'll stay here, Til I feel whole again. I don't know when.

I don't have to be afraid. I don't wanna be afraid. And you can't tell me what my spirit tells me isn't true, can you?

The loneliest people in the whole wide world are the ones you're never going to see again.

But I am just a broken machine And I do things that I don't really mean
