Violent screams have me buckled down, I buckle down
From the way that it seems, we need a remedy
Embody me and kill this aching emptiness
These are just fantasies embalming me as I sleepWhat if you covered the face of the sun
I am just a man, what gives me hope
I've shrouded the pain for too long, I'm under the gun
As I take a breath and take the plungeWe expose our fears
As these two cities burn
In the back of my mind
The will to move, the will to dieSo I guess these tombs are
More suited for the livingBehind the curse reveals a man
And I'm broken down
Is it just possibly revealing me
No time to breatheWhat if you covered the face of the sun
I am just a man, what gives me hope
I've shrouded the pain for too long, I'm under the gun
As I take your plunge, I take the plungeWe expose our fears
As these two cities burn
In the back of my mind
The will to hope, the will to dieWhat weathers him in the night
And if misery shadows fate
Then I've been caught, caught living on borrowed time
This is my life, life on a splintering threadOpen my eyes and blind this soul
Swing by the sway, clinched to the thread
This is my life at the hands of a serrated edgeOpen my eyes and blind this soul
Tear from my mouth
The most violent screamsWhat if you covered the face of the sun
I am just a man, what gives me hope
I've shrouded the pain for too long, I'm under the gun
As I take a breath and take the plungeWe expose our fears
As these two cities burn
In the back of my mind
It's almost time, the will to move
It's almost time, the will to hope
It's almost time, the will to die
