DESTROY THE RUNNER LYRICS

1. Dialogue

[instrumental]

2. My Darkness

I see those hands, you see those hearts.
Some are slow to believe.
Give me rest from this world.
It's going to kill me.
Inside I'm falling apart.
What will save me?
I never knew I was so dead until I met you.
It's almost over.
Dry these tears from my eyes.
Breath in me a new beginning.
Never let this love fade away.
It's almost over.
This is the only thing we're fighting for.
We're gonna make it through the night.
When all the hope we had is dead and gone.
The only way to remain strong.
I will never look back.
Give me rest from this world.
I never new I was so dead until I met you.
Give me rest from this world.
Set me free from my darkness.

3. Columbia

We all learn from our failures.
I never thought I could fall this far.
So far from you.
With no desire to look back.
Ill embrace this forever.
Divorcing my adoration.
As death marches to the grave.
We all learn from our mistakes, let it break me.
We all learn from our failures.
Failure is death, and I have overcome it.
With not a single tear of remembrance.
I choose to forget and start all over.

4. Saints

This was my call to your arms.
Sounding silent alarms.
Will you love me when you hear me lie?
This last time.
I've seen a see of change.
This fleeting love that leaves me alone.
This last time.
Lift me now from this pain.
You know the way to bring me home.
As we die.
We've dimmed our lights past darkness.
Hiding our way back from this.
Swallowing every glimpse of our faithfulness.
Who will guide us home when we cannot see?
The weak to follow the lead.
Its taking over our lives.
As we live, as we die.

5. Thoughts In Reverse

I feel it taking over everything inside of me.
And I'm losing control.
Weakness in my chest.
My heart stops beating.
Flat-lined and I'm in between.
This is my struggle.
This is emptiness.
Closer and closer again.
I feel it happening.
Holding fast to the hands of grace.
I know you're stronger inside, stronger than me.
Hope walks backwards.
My thoughts in reverse.
Scream for me, I'll hear your voice.
My heart knows no other.

6. The Aleph

It's written with your name on it.
The aleph is what we stand on.
Mirror images of everything.
Burning in your eyes.
The reflection in your eyes.
Speaks to me on love's eulogy.
It was only a game that you wanted to play.
I won't be the same.
Say goodbye to all that you hold.
I knelt down to kiss you.
But you wanted to die in your own arms.
You were the one to call me hopeless.
You were the one to call me dear.
Standing side by side, eyes full of fear.

7. From The Red

I saw the future in a tree outside.
There was your heart, and there was mine.
This love, torn apart by every word.
Is hopeless love all we have?
Is this what we dreamed?
I cannot go.
Take this heart, let it die slow.
Tear away from the pain.
Tear away from the red.
Are we trading in our hearts for emptiness?
Is this love or human condition?
I close my eyes to see you.
Hope is in your name.
Where you are I cannot go.
Take this heart, let it die slow.

8. Without Sight

All the pain that you painted on my face.
All those pretty colors on your pallet.
Stabbing my chest.
With your brush of hopelessness.
And this whole time I fell for it.
I fell for it.
You think you can pull this over my eyes.
I can see this without sight.
Slowly fade away.
I'll walk with my thought.
But my heart will always stay.
I wish you could have painted a moment.
A moment with all sincerity.
A moment with all honesty.
I can see without sight.

9. Separate

I know this is hard for you.
This is something I must go through.
The first step of the long march.
The hardest step, we must depart.
I will return with more love and more hate.
For the distance that makes us separate.
Pulling me down past the point of comfort.
I wish I could hold her, stand with her.
And I know it's not over.
Every minute is a minute closer.
I will come back to hold.
'till the day that we grow old.

10. Sound Of Reason

I feel so weightless.
Nothing inside is keeping me grounded.
My self-decay brings tears to my eyes.
Fingerprints of the dead.
Descend on my window.
I feel it's all I see.
I feel it's breaking me.
Haunting words of emptiness.
I'm not afraid, so take me.
I feel it's breaking in me.
I'm not afraid to take me.
I'm dead inside, so save me.
As a new campaign marches across the dead.
In uniform with one vision:
Delivering our children.
Each step making a sound of reason.
Breaking and burning caskets.
Marching across the dead.

11. There Can Be No Hesitation

As I turn my face two ways.
Take a hold.
There can be no hesitation.
Tonight I must fight.
This won't be long.
I will meet you when I'm strong.
Ashes in my eyes bring scars of deception.
Blinded I am, forgive me.
Forgive me, for I was wrong.
There can be no hesitation.
Take my hand.
There can be no regrets.
Take this blindfold from me.

12. Pallbearer

The darkest words, the darkest thoughts.
You left me know.
I'm so lost.
How can this pain be taken away?
How can this be in your own name?
I swear, even the dead want you alive.
One last kiss as we say our goodbyes.
Save us from ourselves.
Save us, we need you know.
Bury me with you and never let my hand go.
I'll think of you forever.
I'll sing melodies over your grave.
Songs of remembrance.
And the lives you saved.
I'll think of you forever.
When we meet again.
Will you still have the loving skeleton?

13. Resolution
