I see no end to the fight, no ceasefire in sight
A fire growing higher, fuelled by ignorance and pride
Cannibalize our own side, a deadly divide
A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind
Spare me the weight of your sentiment
Spare me the unworthy elements of your heart
Leave me alone with the energy
Leave me with all my malevolence, in the dark
Take what you want when you take me apart
Take what you want
Take me apart
We're running in the dark
All we know is the price we pay
When all is said and done
As we fly too high and burn up in the sun
Burn up in the sun
We burden ourselves as we murder the past
The keys to the kingdom, encased in glass
We prayed for rain, and we got drought instead
And if they gave us wings, they would be made of lead
I see no end to the fight, no ceasefire in sight
A thousand poison thorns, they line the corners of my mind
They'll find us in our homes
There'll be no safe place left to hide
Take what you want
Take me apart
We're running in the dark
All we know is the price we pay
When all is said and done
As we fly too high and burn up in the sun
As we race to the end
There's no time left to pretend
We deserve this, will we learn from what we've done?
Or burn up in the sun?
I see no end to the fight
There is no ceasefire in sight
A fire growing higher fuelled by burning hatred and pride
Cannibalize our own side
An ever-growing divide
A thousand poison thorns press ever deeper into my mind
