DARKEST HOUR LYRICS

1. With A Thousand Words To Say But One

And to reflect is to regret throwing it all away
And apathy, my one-way street, it took so much from me
Separated by this divide I created through my fears
And in your tears you tried to show blind eyes and tell deaf ears

If we can make it through the landslide standing
We'll lift each other up to see the bliss on the horizon
Been looking in from the outside lately
I've seen who I used to be and it's not me

And we can keep healing
And we can keep holding on

I just want to take you where our time won't be waste anymore
Through the mountains on the water we'll stay engulfed in one another
And when I can wake up to see the sunrise in your eyes
And we'll finally be free, I'll know, I've made it home

So let’s go out west and bask in the overcast
And walking through the rain we'll see the beauty in life again
[scream]
Life again
[scream]

And to reflect is to regret throwing it all away
And apathy, my one-way street, it took so much from me
Separated by this divide I created through my fears
And in your tears you tried to show blind eyes and tell deaf ears

We can keep healing
Oh, I know
We can keep holding on

2. Convalescence

It's been a long night
Waiting to sleep the day away
And it's been a long time coming along with me every step of the way

[Chorus:]
Oh, confinement binds you
Nothing scares me
Nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me
Nothing kills me
Oh, confinement binds you
Nothing scares me
Nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
Nothing ails me
Nothing can kill me

And stagnant time
Is a breeding ground for regrets and wrongdoings
Resolutions take their time that's if they even come at all

Always seeking redemption
Through the echoes I've listened and still came up missing

Always seeking redemption
Through the echoes I've listened and seek through the cracks

And stagnant time
Is a breeding ground for regrets and wrongdoings
Resolutions take their time that's if they even come at all

[Chorus:]
Oh, confinement binds you
Nothing scares me
Nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
That nothing ails me
Nothing kills me
Oh, confinement binds you
Nothing scares me
Nothing thrills me
I've fooled myself into believing
Nothing ails me
Nothing can kill me

These wounds
Will heal
And they can’t stop me now

[Solo]

These wounds
Will heal
Nothing can stop me now

These wounds
Will heal

These wounds
Will heal

See, these wounds
Will heal
[scream]

3. This Will Outlive US

Gone are the days of evasion existence is how you create it what ever
Compels you to keep on embrace it so long as the missing piece of the
Puzzle split down the middle we had better prepare ourselves for
Perpetual winter why do we do this to ourselves continuous escape
A living hell like those other lovers hidden under the covers it's
So empty in the arms of another see what you've done you're
Irresistible with your sordid stories the morbid glory of it all
Remember when times were worth celebrating pour the wine for the
Fallen friends and foes singing in unison my hell is a blank piece
Of paper staring back at me my hell is wasted potential haunting me

4. Sound The Surrender

This moment marks the severing of senses comatose distinctions the
Gathering of flies on a irrational mind filled with broken conviction
I've seen how lies take form in your eyes your suspicious ways
Followed a hollow gaze you fucking left me to rot but one day you'll
See first hand how I've paid for your biggest mistake sound the
Surrender embraced in vain what will you gain from this what will you
Lose secrets hidden behind your back your silence it serenades deceit
Secrets hidden behind your back your forever ideal fantasy sound the
Surrender you have gained all you could from this sound the surrender
But you've lost the only one

5. Pathos

[Instrumental]

6. Low

Injected venom sucking the life from us away for eighty days
it's white noise
just white noise
staying awake for the music's sake
they say they listen but never hear a thing
mass deception illusion perception
we say they listen
to white noise

can this really be our time?
are we found to find the line?
disillusion me again
can we really be the only ones who see this charade?

the meaning is fleeting
all these egos competing
searching for an identity
through the series of misleadings

Low

Injected venom
sucking the life from us
away for eighty days
it's white noise
just white noise
staying awake for the music's sake

can we really be, really be the only ones who see this charade?
can this really be our time?
are we found to find the line?
disillusion me again

7. Ethos

[Instrumental]

8. District Divided

We are the expatriated our fate cards have played us neighbors
Displaced us we've seen that these demographics are targets shot down
By the market I've felt the wrath of the greedy now complete with more
Monsters I've seen the needs of a city completely ignored surrounded
By vultures we are the sons and the daughters expecting betrayal
Neglecting out passions we know your plans don't include us that's why
We've made our own destroyers of culture insatiable their appetite the
Gluttons who consumed their way to the top

9. These Fevered Times

My heart's been racing with my mind to the finish line of these
Fevered times stuck down again this turbulence has overcome
Tranquility pounding the walls inside these thoughts I can't control
And shooting through my veins these heightened senses overwhelming
Confusion replaces clarity a neurotic rearrangement you know the
Feeling when down feels up to it's old tricks again so misleading when
It hits like a ton of bricks to the chest out of breath on the
Bathroom floor and I'll make light of this night and night of this day
It's what I tell myself to sleep when I dream myself awake

10. Paradise

After midnight's glow and morning's gloom has settled in its
Self-inflicted sense of self-loathing waking up from the longest dream
Where we're all running away it's a sobering experience still sinking
Still spinning still hanging by a thread I've been thinking I'll stop
Wasting the days away and make life worth living controlling these
Demons and stopping sirens from screaming lapsing in and out of this
Great escape a love-hate relationship we're all stuck in our ways and
As we drown everyday we revel in our self-indulgence and wonder why we
Feel so trapped in our bodies in out rooms in out cities with our
Words

11. Tranquil

This decaying flesh is coming back to life reanimate me give me
A chance and I'll be right here where the sun hits the sea watching
These waves wash the pain away and it will radiate so brilliantly that
We can keep pushing on and get on with life cause we deserve it now
I know that the worst is behind us now onward and upward we take
Flight on bruised and battered wings we soar above our clouded
Thoughts never looking back we can regain a sense of balance that's
Been gone so long give me a chance to reason with the odds to pick
Myself back up regain a balance gone so long
