OUR HOLLOW, OUR HOME LYRICS

1. I Am The Eulogy

For months, for years, I've been searching for peace of mind, for clarity.
I just can't reconcile, with all the thoughts that keep on coming to mind.
So looking back at the progress, I've been searching for the truth,
Yet I'm still running round in circles,
And all trails lead back to you.
I should have known by now, you've always been there.

Oh save me and give my life direction,
To navigate these dreams and find days where I'm awake.
Cause now I know this is the path that I should take,
Against the grain, we carry on.

I swear I'll make you proud.

I was a pillar of hope, in the eyes of my mother.
She said look to the mirror, and son you'll find your answer.
Oh I will make you proud of me.
I swear I'll make you proud.

Live every breath in your footsteps, for now I understand.
I feel your presence beside me
I swear one day I'll make you proud

Oh save me and give my life direction,
To navigate these dreams and find days where I'm awake.
Cause now I know this is the path that I should take,
Against the grain, we carry on.

2. Heisenburg

I won't acknowledge this defeat as a weakness of my own.
I must absolve this trail of thought.
I will never let it consume me.
I've been here time and time before.
I'm so close to the edge, afraid of letting it go.
My fears dictate what I should believe.
This can't be happening.

Counting fleeting days, over and over again.
Watching moments pass until the end.
I'll watch the sun rise.
This feud will subside, it cannot survive.

Can you tell me how we've come so far (how did we get this far) without ever knowing who we are?
How was I to know that it would turn out this way?
And every step I've taken have all just been in vein.
And I should know that my heavy heart is in a phase that will never last forever.

Oh I would wait for a lifetime (lifetime) just to watch you fade away.
As the days, they turn to night, time will keep on passing by and still this feud continues...
I will stand tall.
We will stand tall.
How was I to know that it would turn out this way?
And every step I've taken have all
How was I to know that it would turn out this way?
And every step I've taken have all just been in vein.
And I should know that my heavy heart is in a phase that will never last forever.

Well death it beckons, but it won't find me.
I will make my own path.

How was I to know that it would turn out this way?
Well death it beckons, but it won't find me.
I will make my own path.
How was I to know?

3. If Those Were Guns, Reggae Be Dead

When did this all become, deluded in ignorance.
The lives we used to lead, they lost their purpose.
Their purpose.

I won’t wait for the change to embrace me,
My morals will never escape me,
The days of the past are falling faster now

Our guilty hearts are carried away,
(We all got carried away)
To the depths of this plague.
For we pave the way for generations to come.

Don’t get caught in the crossfire,
We'll battle on, we'll battle on.
Keep our heads above the water.
And I'm not scared, no I'm not scared,
Cause the weight of my words is the burden I’ll bare.

So now we'll sit and wait, for the worst to come.
There must be more to this life than this trending curse.

Yeah, there must me more to this life.
Cause all we know, is this trending curse.

Don’t get caught in the crossfire,
We'll battle on, we'll battle on.
Keep our heads above the water.
And I'm not scared, no I'm not scared,
Cause the weight of my words is the burden I’ll bare.

Keep our heads above the water.
We'll battle on, we'll battle on.

This is not a family.
You’re all stuck in this trending craze in the same old town,
With the same old faces
I’m not afraid, I know my enemies,
I'm on the road to hell, you’re stuck in purgatory.
I’m not afraid, I know my enemies,
I'm on the road to hell, you’re stuck in purgatory.

4. Shipwreck City

I've been searching for some common ground to rest my weary head
And gather my strength to confront the demons of my past
That still haunt my every step.
Now the ashes of the friends I've burned are all that I have left.

And I still find myself in question with the path I chose to take.
Is this the end of the road?
Cause there's still stories to be told.

Is this the end of the road?
Cause there's still stories to be told.
Whoa, whoa.
I've still so much to give and so much left to show.
The truth be told I needed time to grow, so watch me grow.

I won't feel any shame, if I'm forced to change my fate.
Because amongst your second guesses, there's a reason I'm alive.
There's a reason I'm alive.

I'm the captain of this ship, so I will go down with it.
I'll send life boats far and wide, so one day I'll turn the tide,
On everyone who wrote us off, cause they'll soon learn we'll never stop
And when there's nothing left to lose, they'll all set sail and follow suit.

So this time we'll remove the anchors that bind us to the depths
And we will walk across the shallows,
Our mistakes laying wake to the tide.
Because we all needed time to grow and now I'll never let go.
Because we all needed time to grow.

Is this the end of the road?
Cause there's still stories to be told.
Whoa, whoa.
I've still so much to give and so much left to show.
The truth be told I needed time to grow.

Is this the end of the road?
Cause there's still stories to be told.
Whoa, whoa.
I've still so much to give and so much left to show.
The truth be told, the truth be told,
I needed time to grow
So watch me grow.
Whoa, needed time to grow.

5. For What It’s Worth

I've told you before, that these are the days we will always remember.
So keep your chin up and power through.
I've kept a clear perception of the path I've chosen to take,
By never straying too far from the blueprints that we made.

I've always been one to dwell on the past,
My mistakes haunt every step.
Lately it's been hard to find a reason in anything.

I tried so hard yet still I wait.
This can't be it.
There has to be more than this.

So I'll go, I'll carry on
Searching for a sense of purpose, trying to find where I belong.
Am I a ghost of the man I used to be?
Buried deep within my past, I'd give it all to live my dreams.

I'm so tired of fearing the worst,
Trying so hard to decipher is this a blessing or a curse?
I can't be the only one who's scared of being alone.
My friends stand tall beside me, yet this isolation grows.
It grows.

Now I know just how it feels
When the whole world has shut you out,
And seems to leave you with nothing,
Lying bitter and broken.
Always expecting the worst.

So I'll go, I'll carry on
Searching for a sense of purpose, trying to find where I belong.
So I'll go, I'll carry on
Searching for a sense of purpose, trying to find where I belong.
Am I a ghost of the man I used to be?
Buried deep within my past, I'd give it all to live my dreams.

I never tried to find my place,
I just kept running and running away.
Hiding from the truth within.
When did these condescending thoughts begin?
Time will wash its hands of me and leave my ashes scattered in the deep.
I could've learnt from past mistakes, but is there really a right path to take?

I never tried to find my place,
I just kept running and running away.
Hiding from the truth within.
When did these condescending thoughts begin?
Time will wash its hands of me and leave my ashes scattered in the deep.
I could've learnt from past mistakes, but is there really a right path to take?

6. Aversion

I am awake, but I swear I’m only dreaming,
This pain is what drives me
It keeps me from losing sleep,
I’ve let myself fall obsolete,
I can’t recall a time where I felt complete.
This deep abyss inside my head is all I know,
I forgot what it’s like to be alone,
Now I’m so far from home.

This is a disaster, how the hell have we ended up this way?
Forever learning how to live with our (live with our mistakes),
Now the world around me's changing I will stay the same,
Upon foundations built from better days.
(Built from better days).

While these offensives keep growing,
While my defensives are slowing,
I find myself without a leg to stand upon,
Where do I truly belong?
I’ve been walking this road for far too long,
Without a sense of purpose I must carry on.

I wear compassion, like a noose around my neck.
How the hell did it come to this?
Another nightmare in every fucking severed tie.
I have foreseen the coming storm,
But I'll be damned if it consumes us all.

This is a disaster, how the hell have we ended up this way?
Forever learning how to live with our (live with our mistakes).
As the world around me changes I will stay the same,
Upon foundations built from better days.

This is a disaster and its written all over your face
You’re too ashamed to face the blame so I will take your place
As the world around me changes I will stay the same,
Upon foundations built from better days
Before we fade away.

Oh how I've told you a thousand times,
Self preservation is a part of life.

Oh how I've told you a thousand fucking times,
You cannot take what is rightfully mine.

7. Rest Assured

I've tried to comprehend the humility of your actions,
Before now I saw the good in you, now I see the truth,
And its overwhelming, you can’t expect me to just walk away,
You said you found remorse, but I still have so much left to say.

My inhibitions won’t shield me from this plight.

So carve these words into your skin,
And tell yourself it'll be worth it,
Cause it will never be enough (no it will never be enough)
But rest assured that my intentions have never meant so much to me,
Given time perhaps you'll see.

I can't turn back the clock,
(we can't turn back the clock)
You must bare these burdens,
Until the end of time.
For all of my life people like you have passed me by,
But not this time.

I’ll tell you to your face,
This is who I am.
This is who I am.

So carve these words into your skin,
And tell yourself it'll be worth it,
Cause it will never be enough (no it will never be enough)
But rest assured that my intentions have never meant so much to me,
Given time perhaps you'll see the hope in sincerity.

Are we the family of, the ones who've given up
The hope within our homes to exorcize the ones we love?

Are we the family of, the ones who've given up? (The ones who've given it up...)
