lyrics

Left are withered remains
Of but a broken dream
And I want to believe in sincerity
But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me
Crumble from beneath

Wait, remain
We fall too far to pick ourselves back up
Breathe, restrain
The worst is what we've made here for ourselves
Asphyxiated, born to be buried
But all will change unless we can clear the air

But I believe it
I wait alone
With all but hope to carry home

Left are withered remains of but a broken dream
(Start again, now believe in it)
And I want to believe in sincerity
(What is love without meaning?)
But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me
Crumble from beneath

Save your fame
For those of superficial regard
Wave your shame
For those bleed a weaker point
The sum of loss and love will bury us
I won’t allow the worms to find their home

But I believed it
I wait alone
With all my hope to carry home
Is there a reason to fight alone?
And can I thrive without my flaws?

Left are withered remains of but a broken dream
(Start again, now believe in it)
And I want to believe in sincerity
(What is love without meaning?)
But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me
Crumble from beneath

Open your eyes wide
The gallows below
Open your eyes wide
To the rope, to the rope again

Left are withered remains of but a broken dream
(Start again, now believe in it)
And I want to believe in sincerity
(What is love without meaning?)
But I won’t be the one to watch the world around me
Crumble from beneath
