PHINEHAS LYRICS

1. Cessation of Breathing

[Instrumental]

2. Forever West (Acoustic)

Forever west follow the sunset
Leave the past in the darkness behind you
Forever west don't let the sun set
Don't look back never look back

If you should find yourself all alone
Remembering the cold the night air brought
Its sting like salt biting the knives in our backs
We were waiting for a glint of light preceding dawn
When the hills bled paint like fire on the horizon
Upon a golden canvas sky

Forever west follow the sunset
Leave the past in the darkness behind you
Forever west don't let the sun set
Don't look back never look back

If you should find yourself alone my stars will point you back to me
You'll have to fight through the night for what's at stake
You'll have to fight through the night until morning breaks
Fight through the night

The shadows grew as the light fell dim
To remind me of my struggle within
A contrast sharp enough to piece my heart
But I'll run until my legs go numb away away from the dark

Forever west follow the sunset
Leave the past in the darkness behind you
Forever west don't let the sun set
Don't look back never look back

Forever west
Follow the sunset
Forever west
Forever forever

You'll have to fight through the night
You'll have to fight through the night

3. Dead Choir (Acoustic)

The moment I heard your footsteps shake upon the ground
It betrayed every hint of truth that fumbled out your mouth
The song you sang moved mountains silence by fear
The unnerving complacency you wash down with your years

Dead choir
Does it help you sleep at night
Dead choir
To judge those you've put out of sight
You're no man of faith you are incapable of change
And you've never been awake

Sing me a song not with empty words but with feet that follow
Sing me a song so sweet to hear but long since forgotten
Grace come my way

How can you love a god you cannot see
When you hate your fellow man standing in front of me
When will you remember that love first made you sing
The words that jumped off the pages to comfort suffering

Dead choir
You think you're serving someone else
Dead choir
But you're only fooling yourself
You're no man of faith you're a liar and a fake
You refuse to ever change

Without grace we would all be dead
Without grace we would all be dead
Without grace we would all be dead
Without grace we would all be dead
Without grace we would all be dead
Without grace we would all be

Sing me a song not with empty words but with feet that follow
Sing me a song so sweet to hear but long since forgotten
Grace come my way

Without grace we would all be dead
Without grace we would all be

4. Selah

[Instrumental]

5. Seven (Acoustic)

I awoke in silence to broken glass
Blood stains the floor where I lay in separate halves
Trapped inside my mind my head welcomed the ground
Cursing in vain but my words offer no sound

I am lost in the spiral
My shame is stronger than desire for survival
An angel pushed me when I was pulling away
Despite my best attempts she decided to stay
Trapped in the cracks of an empty shell
On borrowed time that was spent in hell
The sum of all my fears
Strung out over seven long long years

Drugs traverse my veins and leave me clutching the numb
My voice flies away further from my useless tongue
I sit quiet and still and hear worms eating the church
Maybe I believe them but I'm drunk from drinking my words

I am lost in the spiral
My shame is stronger than desire for survival
An angel pushed me when I was pulling away
Despite my best attempts she decided to stay
Trapped in the cracks of an empty shell
On borrowed time that was spent in hell
The sum of all my fears
Strung out over seven long long years

I am more than dead weight floating adrift
But I could never feel it brush my lips
You ask me to span the void inside
But I believe my borrowed time's run dry

I won't drag you down anymore

6. Book of Names

[feat. Garrett Russell of Silent Planet]

When I was sick the blind looked down through their nose to me
When I a stranger has turned back at the photo of your wall between
I was naked faceless shame became my chains you deserve to let me rot
You replace me with tall trees the privacy that you sought well I was the cause

A book of names
But every page is empty
A neighborhood lacking other faces
I'd rather be left behind

You can go to heaven on your own
But it wouldn't be hell inside the gates all alone all alone
If god looks like you then I'd rather be left behind

Did you depart from me
Set anchor and walk along down the narrow seas
Stepping to shores
Piously removed from my incessant floorboard
Do you dream your chest can fill all the weight of our exhale
Sick sail so you might climb become the vine of sin
24 and a half score away from me how intellectually we shrunk
God to fit my needs slowly it occurs to me amidst this blissful apostasy
I'm less ensnared by heresy than the trenches I dug between them and me

A book of names
But every page is empty
A neighborhood lacking other faces
I'd rather be left behind

You can go to heaven on your own
But it wouldn't be hell inside the gates all alone all alone
If god looks like you then I'd rather be left behind

Amazing grace how sweet the sound of silence
Where you prepare the home to lock the doors and throw the key away

You can go to heaven on your own
But it wouldn't be hell inside the gates all alone all alone
If god looks like you then I'd rather be left behind
