Religion of Speed Lyrics

I can't continue on without a sign
One wing to haul the weight of only one third of an eye
The voice I'm leaning into has been thrown
When all the meat is stripped away I'm chewing on the boneI'm condemned until the moment I forget
That I haven't learned a goddamn thing yet
My soul is sticking out like a talon through a shell
You can wait until the rapture I will hightail it to hell
Water everywhere but no water fit to drink
I've got endless proof and I don't know what to think
Nothing but time, not a minute left to spare
Gallons of fuel, I can't get anywhereWhen all I am is a stone that says the name I had and the years that I had been,
The quiet depths and the measured steps won't echo like the shriek of riot didSever the anchor you drag or be frozen at the stake
Choke down all the prey in your path before you become the prey
No one likes a company man
Nothing but a snake, nothing but a snakeLook at my war it's the prettiest thing alive
I traded it for sanity now all you see is mine
Open the throttle, feel the thunder in the sails
Pick up the scent of fear and follow the trailWhen all I am is a stone that says the name I had and the years that I had been

The quiet depths and the measured steps won't echo like the shriek of riot didI can't move the dredge without heat
Stillwater of a puddle and the ocean never meet
I've wandered off a path into a storm
A trance into a fury, a mantra for a swordDoomed until I recall how to fire up an engine that has stalled
I would trade what I have lost for the things that I have left. Some clarity just to see darkness best?My flower in your barrel hasn't stopped the slaughter yetSo spent, we can't be saved
We lost sleep but we found our way
Sharpen your axe against the road
Don't hold out hopeSuch courage pulls us down. We ride on
Such courage pulls us down. We ride onOur songs refuse a grave
These beating hearts make violent waves
Push the pedal right through the floor
Want so much moreWhen all I am is a stone that says the name I had and the years that I had been
The quiet depths and the measured steps won't echo like the shriek of riot did
