MISERY SIGNALS LYRICS

1. Nothing

As I reach out my hands to the sky
It's in this moment that I've come to realise I've played my part
For all of those who said it could never be done
This is for you
Tormented by my every undying devotion for you

I have destroyed myself
This time it was all or nothing
I struck the match and turned away
Torch the fields and pray for rain

I have entered the eye of your storm
A pause in affliction
But I'll never feel so alive as I do when your world falls apart
I feed on the thrill of knowing that all our hope is lost
I want nothing more than to be given a chance to start again

If I could find the cure I'd cleanse myself of all I know
Cut the cord, bring the plague
Start again
I'd give anything to return to the nothing, from which I came
Ash to ash, dust to dust
Start again

I'd give anything to return to nothing

If not forgiven, will this all be forgotten?
As this guilt will outlive us both
Dear God, what have I let myself become?

2. Weight Of The World

Once again I end up biting the bullet
Don't act surprised, by now it's second nature
It happens over and over again
I only bend so far before I break
And in return, nothing leaves me satisfied
But it's only a matter of time

Won't be long, I smell the fuse burn shorter
And I'm not about to snuff it out
I'll take this head on till the end
Hear my voice, no cries for deliverance
I've become the victim of my own defense
And there's no one to blame but myself

As the structure fails
I'll pray for the fall out
For I am what I create
As the embers rise
I'll be at the bottom
When it all comes down
I'll carry the weight of the world

Strapped to my back
I'll carry the weight of the world
Chained to my neck
I'll carry the weight of the world

3. Labyrinthian

Drag my face through the dirt again
I know I'm where I belong
For you're a constant reminder
Of all the rights that I've wronged

Give me the strength to move this mountain
To block this line of sight
This was more than I could ask for
Tear down the sky
Black out the sky
Sever these ties

As you further your tragedy
To prove to me you're alive
Sooner or later we'll have to choose
From this, a new set of lies

Give me the strength to flood this valley
To wash my hands of you

This was more than I could ask for
Tear down the sky
Black out the sky
Sever these ties

So here I stand
This battered path laid out before me
And no one said this would be easy
But it's something I must do for myself
It's going to be a long hard road

Know I will let go
This time it feels so right to forget

This was more than I could ask for
Tear down the sky
Black out the sky
Sever these ties

So here I stand
This battered path laid out before me
And no one said this would be easy
But it's something I must do for myself
It's going to be a long hard road
Which I will walk alone

4. Parallels

No footprints before me
Will I be the one that finds a way?
Our fate unfolding
Is there something more then the roles we play?
How deep the roots dig
And they sink into my skin
I see myself in the cracks of your foundation
And these walls will crumble by our hands
We don't talk much anymore
And we're not letting down our guard

We are not alone
Everyone is lost
Waiting on a second wind
Just believe we are not alone

Speak to me.
What can be said while we're still being honest?
Only then will these marks start to heal
And cleanse us of these demons
But there's so much to say, and there's so little time
Take my hand and walk with me
Lead me to salvation
And in return I'll offer you my pledge to start all over
But there's so much to say, and we're so far behind

No footprints before me
Will I be the one that finds a way?
Feel how deep the roots dig
And they sink into my skin
I see myself in the cracks of your foundation
And these walls will crumble by our hands
We don't talk much anymore, but motherfucker we hit hard

No, we are not alone
Everyone is lost
Waiting on a second wind
We are not alone

5. Coma

Press rewind
Play it back in this dark room
It's been so long
I don't remember who we used to be

Go slow
Is it safe to come out again?
In skin like stone
Now I can't believe anyone anymore
I wasted it on you

They were sinking or swimming
I was floating away

On our own
We see the world now for what its worth
Undo what's done
Before this heart destroys its host

They were sinking or swimming
I was floating away

Reach into her guts
Take back what's tangled up
I wasted it on you
Reach into her guts

We're just rehearsing who we think we are

6. A Certain Death

Embrace this sickness with open arms
If you believe you'll run with ghosts.
Pull out the arrows that poison your mind
Look inside and ask yourself why
Why would you really want to live forever
Every breath expelled together

In faith alone in place apart
Be there to meet your maker

Raise your eyes from sleep
Together you will be searching
The answers will never come

And I can't pretend anymore to be a part of this
And I'll leave my burdens at the door
But I'll never walk here again

7. Set In Motion

Our fears ring true
We're on a march towards the end
Cover my eyes
But I still hear the deafening drums of war
Onward every twisted spoke

Let's make history
Let's make history stop
When there's nothing left
We'll be fed our father's dreams

And I find every time I face this skyline
I picture it in ruins
It's not going to stop

Our fears ring true
We are numbered with the dead
When I finally come apart
Every piece will melt holes into the streets
Onward every twisted spoke

Let's make history
Let's make history stop
When there's nothing left
We'll be fed our father's dreams

We can't let it happen like this
Burn it down
Burn it to the fucking ground
It's not going to stop

8. Ebb And Flow

Revive a sense of hope
Amids these abandoned dreams
Rewrite what it is to feel
In hopes it will carry me home

Drift in and out
The light of morning drags me back
I need release
Separate this body from my mind

Send me home

My conscience there to send me off to sleep
When I need you closer
For when I wake I am greeted by shades of grey
I'll return to you

In dreams, the sun sets in our eyes
In dreams, we'll never be apart
In dreams, I'll promise you'll never be alone
How much I wish your voice could send me home

9. Reset

Panic sets in
The room just spins
Here it comes again...

Slipping through my fingers out of my reach
Nothing is picture perfect
Buried under the rocks of a landscape
Nothing here is picture perfect
Slipping through your fingers
It's out of your hands

Bleed
Holding on gets harder and harder
Giving up gets harder and harder
(Release)
The tension corrupts direction
I've lost control

Slipping through my fingers, it's out of my grasp
Nothing is ever be perfect
Crippled by the weight of the downfall
Nothing here is real

Keep control

A lifetime of open wounds
Completely incomplete

Bleed
Holding on gets harder and harder
Giving up gets harder and harder
(Release)
The tension corrupts direction
I've lost control

Just keep on tighter and tighter, and keep control
Just hold on tighter and tighter, just hold me still

10. Homecoming

The spell is broken
Masked in rituals to capture the sun
Bloodletting
Monuments of guilt
If I had one wish, I'd stop all the clocks
Within me, the spell is broken

We all are still alive
We radiate

Breathe now
It's in the wind that we give and we take
They never really have us if we just keep breathing

I have seen them
Within me the spell is broken

Home
At last...
Homecoming at last
Now feel what is unseen
Within me, the spell is broken
