OUR HOLLOW, OUR HOME LYRICS

1. The Sea Will Sleep

In a world that refuses to open its eyes
will you remain blind
or just bide your time

2. Loneshark

Please tell me this is a nightmare
'Cause these feelings cannot be real
I can't believe you've been taken from me
without saying goodbye
one question taints my lips
will time heal these wounds?

I can't believe that the day has come
Knowing know I will never see your face again
If I'd known so many years ago
I would have cherished every single second
But now I have to face the facts
that you're not coming back
and no matter how much this hurts
I will keep pushing forward

Please don't go
'Cause I can't take this journey without you
It's like I'm lost inside my own mind
now you're gone, who's left to guide me
before the path below me subsides
These days turn to weeks in the palms of my hands,
but I'll remember you the best that I can
always the one that knew me the best
I can't bring you back, but I'll never forget

Breath, oh god please breath,
I won't let him take you away from me
just breath, you won't burn away into the sulphur
nothing will ever tarnish your legacy
I will follow in your footsteps until it kills me

I haven't slept for days
I'm sick of sinking through the cracks of you left when you went away
but I must carry on, be strong for those I love
I swear I'll never forget you

Please don't go
'Cause I can't take this journey without you
It's like I'm lost inside my own mind
now you're gone, who's left to guide me
before the path below me subsides
These days turn to weeks in the palms of my hands,
but I'll remember you the best that I can
always the one that knew me the best
I can't bring you back, but I'll never forget

You will always be more than just a memory
now I take this road alone, I know you're watching over me

3. Throne To The Wolves

I'm undone, how can I breach the storm
when the closest thing to closure is to wear this crown of thorns
I just hope that in my darkest days, that deep down in your heart
you know we're better off this way

I just hope I can channel these feelings
into something more than just words
they say that time always heals the wounded
but I swear I am blessed by this curse

My past will never define me, my sense of worth will not fall away
never again will I let myself falter, never again will I abandon hope

I am grateful for your comfort and though I struggle with every breath
I won't leave you by the wayside, I'll give you all that I have left

I'm undone, how can I breach the storm
when the closest thing to closure is to wear this crown of thorns
I just hope that in my darkest days, that deep down in your heart
you know we're better off this way

I take it back every word that I said
you can't bury the past when it's already dead
searching for a resolution, mind is clear free from illusion
I am content with who I am

I want you to know that I am humble, I just can't do this anymore
you paved the way for our foundations, I need to carry on alone

Just follow the signals, just follow the signs
learn to cope with the guilt that you harbour inside
don't stray from the shadows, don't hide in the dark
there's life left within you, just ignite the spark

I'm so sorry, sorry that I tried

4. Worms Wood

Preacher

Preacher, preacher, lend me your ear
what kind of king leads his kingdom in fear
Preacher, oh divine deceiver
Yeah, what can you do to save me now?

I never thought I'd have to call you out like this
but I can't stand by anymore
the holy sheep still claiming your there
you take what we love just to show us you care?
Liar, you lurk there in shadows, forever praying on the weak
but I will lift the veil on the secrets you keep

As I search and search through chapter and verse
I always fail to see the words right in front of me?

Just forget everything you've been told
take a page outta my book let your story unfold
and find something to believe in - believe in me
and I know the damage is done
that doesn't mean you can't stand for something
I won't be silenced by fear, I'd rather fall forever

They say you sent your son to die for us
so tell me now are you proud of us?
'Cause we reap what we sow, but we reap 'til it's gone
If we're made in your image you fucking made us wrong

So tell me what kind of king leaves his kingdom to burn
while the blind lead the blind in the name of his church

This all comes down on you, you've fallen shy of the mark
why must the innocent pay for your mistakes?

Let me tell you something

Just forget everything you've been told
take a page outta my book let your story unfold
and find something to believe in - believe in me
and I know the damage is done
that doesn't mean you can't stand for something
I won't be silenced by fear, I'd rather fall forever

And if you need something to believe in then just believe in me

5. Hartsick

I wish I knew what to say to you, to bring you peace of mind
but I am just as lost as you, still trying to find
the clarity to see things clearly for what they truly are
no longer will I stand here alone, content to reside in the dark
I will illuminate the path that lies ahead of us
so won't you follow me?

This is who we are,
we are children of the fire and we will always burn
so bright, lead you through the darkest nights
just so you'll know you're never alone

You feel unstable, you feel unsure
can't see the truth through the lies anymore
you feel your stomach sink, you feel it in your bones
the voice inside your head, beckons from below
and I've seen it, I've been where you are
I can't lead by example, but I've come this far

Too far to fail, too far to come undone
too far to fail, too far to fall
I've dwelled so low in the oceans depths
and parted waves just to wait for the worst to end
but when all's said and done my friend
I guess we'll never learn

This is who we are,
we are children of the fire and we will always burn
so bright, lead you through the darkest nights
just so you'll know you're never alone

Yeah just so you know
Yeah you're never alone

6. Feast For The Crows

So here we are, has it come to this?
thrown from the fire straight back to the furnace
I always knew you'd be the harbinger to your self destruction
no more wasting away, I swear this time you're done
I can't stem the flow of bad blood

Remember the day you said I don't think I can live without this
what's broken isn't easily fixed
I threw you a rope but you hung yourself with it
so take a look around, keep running your mouth
I've never claimed to be perfect
mistakes are made but I know my purpose

Is there no other way?

You are the anchor bound to my heart
so try and pull me under, 'cause I will pull you apart
just like a viper spitting venom with every word you say
but you will never justify your actions to me

I need you to know if you're going through hell, keep going

Hold fast, the past is no more than a path
a means to an end, nothing more than a road less travelled
there's such a bitter taste that lingers on my tongue
a taste I can't seem to shake for fear I'll come undone
and tell the world just what you are

But I'll bury the truth, let your hatred grow
won't be another feast for the crows

You are the anchor bound to my heart
so try and pull me under, 'cause I will pull you apart
just like a viper spitting venom with every word you say
but you will never justify your actions to me

I've seen the stuff of nightmares
I've had my fair share of ghosts
I've felt your shadow rise around the things that mean the most to me
maybe my vision is jaded, but I'm sure in time it will clear
so here's to another bond left broken, I guess I'll give it a year

All I want is to be remembered, not for what I've done
but 'cause I tried to be better

I fucking called it
Just keep running, running away

7. Karmadillo

Coward, count your days before they fall away
'Cause everyone can now see right through you
somewhere along the line you lost all conviction
blurring the truth between fact and fiction

Another promise you failed to deliver, your words they slip through the sinking sand
to think I once called you friend, well I won't make that mistake again
just like an hour glass your time is running out
you self-centered misguided fuck
You thought we'd all sit so idly by, well now you know

Save your breath, we've all heard it before
the lambs you lead to slaughter are now the wolves right at your door
and they're baying for your blood
wake up, wake up, it's your move now
take the keys to your kingdom 'cause I'll always be the thorn in your crown
I guess it's lonely at the top when the only way is down

Let's set the record straight, another lesson learnt
you set yourself alight and watched your bridges burn

And I still can't quite believe that guilt isn't one of your faculties
again and again you never fail to surprise me, I hoped by now you'd have realised
that if this isn't enough I guess I'll tell you straight
you can't rewrite the past now you've sealed your fate
the odds are against you
so worm your way out of this one 'cause we all know

Save your breath, we've all heard it before
the lambs you lead to slaughter are now the wolves right at your door
and they're baying for your blood
wake up, wake up, it's your move now
take the keys to your kingdom 'cause I'll always be the thorn in your crown
I guess it's lonely at the top when the only way is down

8. The WIld Will Wait

9. Pride: Lieoness

Am I an empty vessel? Just a shadows of myself
'Cause it feels like I am treading water
without a purpose or a direction
I know there has to be more than this
to live a life rather than just exist
you don't know hope until you've been hopeless
maybe I'm bitter, but I know I deserve this

More than you could ever know

Don't waste away, start your life today,
don't wait for tomorrow
Where do we go from here? We gotta close the distance

'Cause I won't be held back by my fears
now I'm close to edge and the coast is clear so,
where do we go from here? We gotta close the distance

We all claim to be the victims of circumstance
when the fact of the matter is this
we're never willing to take the chance
to be more than we deemed ourselves to be

I will forever remain, vigilant until the end

When it feels like your head is under water
and your gasping for air, remember these words,
remember these words, there's some out there who cares

When it feels like the worst is yet to come,
just be head strong and carry on through the dark ahead

Don't waste away, start your life today,
don't wait for tomorrow
Where do we go from here? We gotta close the distance

'Cause I won't be held back by my fears
now I'm close to edge and the coast is clear so,
where do we go from here? We gotta close the distance

Well haven't you heard, it's the end of the world
it's time to stand up and make yourself be counted
well haven't you heard, it's the end of the world
so stand up, stand up for what you believe in

10. Pride: Of Might And Mane

This is a call to the wild lands

So many times you tried to break, break away
but now you're paralysed
bound to the roots that you buried beneath me

I can't believe the clarity, it comes to me
thank you for giving me the gift to see clearly
just exactly who you really are

Oh how apathy finds me

And I remember that day and the words that you said to me
just remember you're worth, you gotta ride out the worst
there is another way to find a way through the hate
to find love and appreciate how to embrace the change

For better, for worse, the lessons we've learnt
all have an impact on the way we leave a mark on the world
embrace the hope that spills from your hollow soul
and don't you leave a single word unsaid
just let your voice be your weapon
then they'll never underestimate you again

And on those sleepless nights, that's where you lie awake
I hope you learn to live with the mistakes you've made

This is a call to the wild lands

It's never ending, counting the hours, hours and days
everything we built it all slips away
this life is parallel and I will stay the course
I just need you to know: you fucking disgust me

At least now I see the light

There is another way to find a way through the hate
to find love and appreciate how to embrace the change

For better, for worse, the lessons we've learnt
all have an impact on the way we leave a mark on the world
embrace the hope that spills from your hollow soul
and don't you leave a single word unsaid
just let your voice be your weapon
then they'll never underestimate you again

And on those sleepless nights, that's where you lie awake
I hope you learn to live with the mistakes you've made

11. Web Weaver

I gotta learn to let go

This darkness it finds it's way through the deepest stretch of night
there's nowhere to hide, in the back of my mind is where I'll reside

We never planned for this to become, my only escape the only way out
I can't do this alone
there's more for me here but this road is long
I'll overcome these feelings but things haven't got to plan
wipe the slate clean, erase it, I swear to you now I'll embrace it

Is this all in my head? A deafening voice that leads me to fear
that I will never ever never ever know
just exactly what it means to be happy
it's so hard to break away
to try and tell myself it's not too late
it's not too late to make a change

If this is the end, then make me a martyr
I'll pave the way for our sons and daughters
so they will never have to face their demons all on their own
no I won't let go, I won't let go
but the mind can be a terrible thing
just don't let it sink in

Will I break away, find a new escape?

'Cause this mindset is eating me up inside
like a cancer pulling me from the light
is this just another apparition?
Judging myself on every past decision
this constant noise it never seems to end
screaming at myself from inside my head

If this is the end, then make me a martyr
I'll pave the way for our sons and daughters
so they will never have to face their demons all on their own
no I won't let go, I won't let go
but the mind can be a terrible thing
just don't let it sink in

I share my head with another and it's not welcome here
sometimes at night it keeps me awake
as I stare at the ceiling contemplating my fate
it whispers sweet regrets that I must learn to live with
singing me to sleep with the same sad songs
please tell me there is more to me
(give it up or you'll never stop falling)
there is more to me

If this is the end, then make me a martyr
I'll pave the way for our sons and daughters
so they will never have to face their demons all on their own
no I won't let go, I won't let go
so remember just one thing: Just don't let it sink in

12. The Forest Will Fall

13. Fox Blood

They've fucking damned us all
falling short to false idols, try standing tall
with no ground to stand on
and I swear I tried to see a wide perspective
heed these words 'cause we have to fight this

When did we grow so cold? Let greed and lust take a hold
I wish it all made sense
I can't stand by and be told that no matter if it's wrong or right
every choice we make are all but based upon a price

So some may say that we've gone too far
and there's no turning back now
but I can't stand by just to watch it all burn
I know there has to be another way
to find a way out of the mess we've made
this is the time for change or we will only have ourselves to blame

I'm falling to my knees
I can't believe what I've seen
every day it gets worse
and I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe
I guess we'll have to learn the hard way
they have damned us all
we place our faith in hollow hands in ill appointed arbiters

So some may say that we've gone too far
and there's no turning back now
but I can't stand by just to watch it all burn
I know there has to be another way
to find a way out of the mess we've made
this is the time for change or we will only have ourselves to blame

In a world that refuses to open its eyes
will you remain blind
or just bide your time
