CODE ORANGE KIDS LYRICS

1. I (Foundations Stand Still)

nails scratching at floorboards begging to stay

a pathetic attempt to break from the world

stagnant in my own selfish love unreturned.

spending everyday praying for the end of a life just as shallow as the cowards i surround myself with.

and it pounds away.

knowing that i bathe in inevitabilities just to fill this space

knowing i would do anything for peace.

just a piece of the faith i can smell and see (in you)

(keep building skin of dust and stone)

the kingdoms of my mind will learn to live to let go.

untouchable. you are untouchable.

and i just wanna sleep

2. II (Embrace Me)

an untimely shell of anything that i am

(bloody knuckles and skin cracked hands)

nothing to comfort me. no one will come for me

(swallowed by something bigger // cogs in a larger machine)

the last bastion has burned down.

the concrete cracked below my feet.

confidence shoved down your fucking throat.

skin cocoons wearing fast and thin

(screaming for change)

i will always be alone.

forever scorned and forever unloved.

but you'd never know.

3. III (Erase Me)

embrace me // i am a machine

erase me // bring down the gates

we carry this weight.

days fall away.

leave me. let me in.

begin again (i swear i cant)

"this is the way the world ends // not with a bang but a whimper"
