What's worse, a loaded gun or a loaded question? A loss of life or some reflection? What's worse? Stand down! They say there's a place out there, that'll we'll find salvation. Can't escape the noise. Can’t escape frustration. What's a kid to do, when there's nobody left but you? What's a kid to do with a twisted view? Stand down! With a gun in your mouth, yeah your life is looking south. Stand Down! With a bullet put through am I holier than you? These pieces in my hand they’ve now turned to dust and sand and now I see you took the best of me, now I’m no longer free, you took the best and made a beast of me. They say there’s a place out there, that we’ll find salvation. Can’t escape the noise, can’t escape frustration. What's worse, a loaded gun or a loaded question? A loss of life, or some reflection? What's a kid to do, when there's nobody left but you? What's a kid to do with a twisted view? Stand down!

Draw the blinds and hide inside the siren sound has called for strife pray to god for some insight and hope we don’t die tonight. And I hear the screams, they’re calling out, calling out to me. And I hear the screams, they’re calling out, it’s time to leave. Draw the blinds and hide inside, The siren sound has called for strife. Pray to god for some insight But god ain’t here tonight. Buildings crumble, now in rubble hear the calling, hear the struggle of my neighbours in their death beds. Their hands are reaching out, just for a single breath, their hands are reaching out, now gone limp from death. And I hear the screams, they’re calling out, calling out to me. God ain’t here tonight. We’re caught in the crossfire. God ain’t here tonight. But what if he’s a liar? Buildings crumble, now in rubble, hear the calling, hear the struggle of my neighbours in their death beds. Their hands are reaching out, just for a single breath their hands are reaching out now gone limp from death. God ain’t here tonight. We’re caught in the crossfire.

I've walked through fire and slaughter and got a taste of hell I won't forget dead faces; I won't forget the smell.  I can't remember the boy that I used to be,  he’s long gone and buried. He is dead to me.  If they find us, it's our deadline.  Blood lost in the sands of time.  If they find us, I won't back down.  I'll be defiant, I’ll be…  The vultures close, lump in my throat, as I try my best not to fucking choke,  we're wading through the sand like mud as they're closing in to circle above.  And I can't think but to stand and wait, to shout my name and reclaim.  Hand on heart, a gun in the other. The price of life is worth the same.  I've walked through fire and slaughter and got a taste of hell I won't forget dead faces; I won't forget the smell.  I can't remember the boy that I used to be,  he’s long gone on and buried. He is dead to me.  If they find us, it's our deadline.  Blood lost in the sands of time.  If they find us, I won't back down.  I'll be defiant. Head right in the eye of the storm to save ourselves. If I don't come back, don't even look back.  Hear the sound in the distance, I tell myself in an instant  for your father. for your mother. Stare the devil right in the eyes. State your name and revise through your life.  I know it's good night, I know it’s time go, I hear the barrel as it spins to stop to... I’ll be defiant.

Onwards to the sun, carry on, carry. Onwards to the sun, carry on, carry. I threw myself to the wolves to tear the flesh from my bones I found myself in their teeth. Through the cracks in my eyes, the sun sheds a light. The echo in my ears, distorted, am I here? Dress the wounds and leave no trace. Dress the wounds and leave no trace, the blood leaves trails as I escape. Searching for that sacred place where I will find my own space. And what is life, what is life, what is life if you just survive? When you hide at night and stay out of sight, you pray for day, pray for light. I threw myself to the wolves to tear the flesh from my bones I found myself in their teeth. Through the cracks in my eyes, the sun sheds a light. The echo in my ears, distorted, am I here? Dress the wounds and leave no trace.

What’s a boy to do, I’m not so bullet proof, in the end I thought was me and you. But no grave, no burial No grave, no burial. Fighting back the tears, with you in my arms, I shake your body, but there’s no response. No grave, no burial. No grave, no burial. I’m not gonna lie and I know it hurt please forgive and see, I couldn’t take you with me. No grave, no burial. No grave, no burial. What’s a boy to do, I had to leave you behind, I know your spirit carries with me through every fight. No grave, no burial. No grave, no burial.

This feeling, overwhelming, it consumes everything. Draw the blinds, we hid inside, while my neighbours lost their lives. Forgiveness and fighting, internal unresting, synapse collapse, flashback, relapse. Reality ungrasping, pictures, white flashes, loved ones in ashes, stolen and captured. I have lost myself and I’m unsure if I will last, I can’t escape from here by blocking out the past. By blocking out the past…. Buried myself in the dirt. If I turn around does that resolve my guilt, To return to all the blood that’s been spilt? I lost myself and I’m unsure if I will last, I can’t escape from here by blocking out the past. I lost myself. I lost myself. And I cannot take a step, Clench my chest, release that last breath, I’m not done yet. By blocking out the past, I’m unsure if I will last. And I continue, to where the water is safer than the land. Further from the damned.

Replaying over and over. The waves toss and roll, As I lay in my coffin. The wave toss and roll, Not a day is forgotten. Replaying over and over. The shore seems further away, yet I’m still back at home, in my head I’ll stay. Replaying over and over. Had my life collapse in front of me, saw my father fall to his knees, and in the rubble I only struggled. Oh what I’ve seen with these eyes, longing for the day when the bombs aren’t the sunrise. Replaying over and over.

Home is not the best when it’s just another test, I’m anything but free inside your sanctuary. Truth left untold. Living inside this hell and my mind, As I stop I then realise your salvations just a lie. They pushed and shoved us, shoved us to the ground. There are souls that are lost here, lost and never found. We came with a dream, a dream to be free but we should have known better than to hope for you and me. There’s no hope for you and me. We’re waiting to surface and drown in each other. I’m dying right here beside my brother. If I had a voice, I’d help you find yours. I’ll die here. Oh the lies that they sold, and the truth left untold, Is existence a life behind doors? If I had a voice, I’d help you find yours. We’re waiting to surface and drown in each other I’m dying right here beside my brother. As I stop to remind myself and rewind back the time, I will never be free inside your sanctuary. Home is not the best when it’s just another test, I’m anything but free inside your sanctuary. Truth left untold. Living inside this hell and my mind, as I stop I then realise your salvations just a lie. Your salvations just a lie, ain’t no escape from fear. Just waiting for us all to die I won’t die here. Oh the lies that they sold, and the truth left untold, Is existence a life behind doors? If I had a voice, I’d help you find yours. We’re waiting to surface and drown in each other, I’m dying right here beside my brother. As I stop to remind myself and rewind back the time, I will never be free inside your sanctuary. There’s no hope for you and me. I’m here to tell you that it’s not what it seems.
