Is that my voice On the air Sing it back to me Is that my voice On the tape Play it back to me And I'll let it speak Is that a crossing Of a place In another state Holding back Who you are To cooperate Show another face Given time you learn to cover up the seams Scissor cuts that give away your longer schemes And paper over all the cracks you used to wear Is it over yet? Should I hold my breath? But I won't sever all the ties Unless those ghosts come plague my mind One day you'll have to decide If there is any theft in lies Conceal the knives inside your coat and carry on Until they hardly pierce your skin anymore Does your scar tissue speak in a new tongue Is it over yet? Is this change permanent? But can I sever all the ties Those hungry ghosts that plague my mind One day it's time to decide If there is any theft in lies If I live In this state Does my past Still betray? Cut away Cut away Cut away But I can't sever all these ties Those hungry ghosts that plague my mind In time I've come to realise That there is no theft in lies

Are you looking for a killer? Are you looking for a way? Do you need some words of blessing? Do you need a hand to take? Did they come for you in darkness? Did they find you with the night? Were you looking for an answer? Were you looking for the light? Did they leave their weight upon you? Does it hang around your neck? Did you try to make peace with it? Did you try then to forget? Can you visualise an image? Can you formulate the pain? Does it hold its arms around you? Does it call for you by name? Do you need to understand them? Do you need some kind of truth? Do the pictures keep repeating? Are you stuck inside their loop? Have you found the tools to change this? Have you found the words to speak? Was it ever your decision? Was it ever anything? Were you looking for an answer? Were you looking for the light? Did they come for you in darkness? Did they find you with the night? Do you need some words of blessing? Do you need a hand to take? Are you looking for a killer? Are you looking for a way?

I built it from my anger In concession to your lies Carved the names you gave our enemies In hexagram design Found the weakness of the structure Locked its doors and stepped outside Left the threshold crossed with brickdust for the spies Now I won't close my eyes I won't close my eyes Called the names by which to charm them Once with lust And once with pride Found the secrets left in angles That their bodies cast in time Loosed desire from the hunger To release what is inside Now there's a devil waiting for you to arrive Heaven help you in your angel-winged disguise Is it enough this time? All clothed in stolen light. And now it's mine. It's mine. Were you there when I desired you? Did you clothe yourself in night? Kept your secrets locked in shadows To protect them from the light. Now my arms are tired of waiting For the knowledge that you hide Won't you save me from the things that you deny? As i fall into a life lived close to knives. Is it enough this time? All clothed in stolen light. Unbound from all your ties. Now this is mine. This is mine.

My son these walls cannot remain Their form will not carry my name And there's turbulence on its way It's time to leave today I heard your voice upon the wind Fearing the waves would pull you in So climb higher now, my son One day I'll follow you up

I wouldn't turn your back on this yet Don't fall into regret I wouldn't let them use you again Come down to me instead Out of the light and into my arms I'll sing to you unharmed Out of the lights and their mayfly charms Come shelter from the stars Is it enough? Will I remember this? Is it enough? Oh, let me catch my breath Follow the path where the echoes play Follow the voice that calls your name Was it enough? I don't remember it Was it enough? Oh, please don't let me forget Follow the path where the echoes play Follow the voice that calls your name Hiding by the willow tree There in the darkness calling to me

If the act is clean then turn your hand to it Work to make it last Try to endure the burden of its sadness Is that too much to ask? Call it down to weigh upon beliefs Oh my love, can we find our relief? Blacken all the wheels and cast the dice again To disregard the past Augur from the movements of the birds' wings Ways to unblock the path Call it down to weigh upon beliefs Oh my love, can we find relief? Come uncoil my spine Let lightning pierce the skies Till reason falls to denial Walls will wash away As all the storms break My love will we remain Against the weight?

I'll wear your burden of proof Dots, dashes and pin-stripe suit Strung out on diode blinkers Electronic confidence tricksters White rabbit pulled from your timeline Air pockets in your mainline Prestiging recognition Compulsion to ascension Run ragged on the flicker To take note of your position From misremembered functions Are you sure it really happened? Reflecting your opinion Are you sure that you remember? Compulsive recognition Come martyr or ascender Rise up Rise up This is a way Scrying angels on bricked iPhones To hack corrupted networks From blind, promiscuous trackers Of sovereign death receptors Come with your apocalypse software Come with revelation hardware Come with speech in jagged verses Come with all your forked-tongued curses Holding your beliefs and sorrows Dressed in long-forgotten tomorrows Desperate to create rememberance From sandcastles in an hourglass And my hands contort around it Trying to capture shadows Dream-catching for surrender Come martyr or ascender And rise up Rise up Rise up This is a way I remember your skin I remember your scent I remember your touch I remember our bed I remember the sun I remember the heat I remember the air I remember the street I remember the stars I remember the wine I remember the room I remember the night I remember the moon I remember the birds I remember the sounds I remember the words I remember the time I remember the path I remember the rose I remembered to dance I remember your name I remember my own I remember the way I remembered to go
