Lyrics:
 
Fear
It's all the same
Should I evolve
To tend to these sights
Said out loud then said again
If fate's so wrong
You'll start to feel lightheaded
By my admission, nothing grows
Just a longer list of unsorted laws
 
So why then
Has all my life made no sound
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing
 
Revolting man
This sacred chain
Brought down to trial
No better man could fail the way
You needed all
Keep close the vein of empty
Thoughts
 
The finest river,
The ravens tend
All along insisting
We're worlds away
 
So why then
Has all my life made no sound
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
I fear your eyes closing
 
Behold the lost
Behold a Band-Aid
 
Behold the lost
Behold a Band-Aid
 
These shameful metaphors
Fought it through the teeth
 
Shameful metaphors
Biting at your heels
 
Shameful metaphors
Fought it cheek to cheek
 
So why then
Has all my life made no sound
(These shameful metaphors)
And are your eyes
Closing even now
My life made no sound
(These shameful metaphors)
I fear your eyes closing
