ARMOR FOR THE BROKEN LYRICS

1. The Mending Chords

hold your hands out
to receive insects of such royalty
laid across this black veil chained over
chords of frustration
as I collapse into your open wound
if this is real then this is shame
if this is real then this is the end...
its times like these we all feel miles away
a guilty conscience wont stop the shaking
this downpour cant hide oceans
a body abandon, numb and left alone
we're chasing golden vision
wearing the crown, I feed the few
we're chasing golden vision
and quench the thirst
for those lost in the fold
a holocaust shall rein
gnawing at the heels of heroes
pry her from these cold dead hands
you're loosing sight
of everything you ever loved
my ribs will break in loving arms
NO COMFORT, NO SYMPATHY
bearing your teeth
your voice falls upon deaf ears.

2. He Held Victory Within His Fists

I'm swept beneath my feet a wind
that guides me to places far away
we're trying to show an ounce of compassion
allow the wind to guide you, allow...
we've all stood amongst the giants
and measured the dirt looking for answers
(I'm looking for answers
in all the wrong places)
it's time to end this cycle
(somethings got to give)

we're building futures on burial grounds
replacing minds with wires (they'll pull you out)
and as I sit back I watch the world go numb

now your feeding them lies
will you forget me when I'm gone?
when the tidal waves fall
he held victory within his fists

we've all fed from the bottom
and followed the sky chasing the vultures
follow the sky...
why do we flinch
at the sight of helping hands
time was the last thing on your mind
if you could take it back
take back what you never had

I'll try to embrace the end with open arms
if these words give you comfort
I ask for repetition

3. Patterns

Buried beneath these vague
illusions
That carries me home,
that carries us home
Searching
for the right way back
I'm taking
this head on with my fears in a
death grip
I remain and empty
shell what do I call home where do
I go
I'm searching for a sign and
the currents getting stronger

Don't pull me down don't pull me
under
The choir is singing for
your failure
Our faults and
failures sink in so deep your
words are set against a second
chance
Your legs begin to buckle
your bowing down
No words could
ever explain this hell I walk
I
am letting go of judgement I will
fall alone I am the only me I will
fall alone
I'm ripping perfection
right through their fucking
teeth
I'm giving in I'm swallowed
by all my grief
If these feet
wont hold you down, my love will
be so heavy
