lyrics
no one to hear the siren call from miles away
in empty rooms there's no need for warning
it's calling out on deafened ears
anticipating every breakdown
all the while it's fading out
and you don't know
this is the anthem for what we might have been
and you don't know
this is the cycle of autonomy
a new frontier
it paints the sky as worlds collide
in idle minds
tears like serrated edges
come falling down on broken hands
one final abreaction
without the strength to let it out
abandoning this caustic scene
that began so honestly
it fuels the flame that leads you back home
with no connection to retrace
with no reflection in the mirror
it fuels the flame that leads you back home
