The dust and debris collapsed to the oceans and the seas It flashed and erupted, the gods crippled with laughter And i was powerless to pretend that i wasn't in control Of all the cities that glittered this was the city that glowed How could you choose water over wine? When there's so much to spare Save your breath tonight's not done with you yet You can't understand the depths until all you know becomes unknown Who are we if not the walls that surround us? Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones? Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear Cue the sun, the siege has pa**ed, the tide has spoken and his words fall fast Will I ever learn before I wash ashore Or is this a scar that I've grown to adore Who are we if not the walls that surround us?
Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones? Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear You can't resent the road that gave you something to lose We're just the sum of the paths that we came through So hold your breath like it's everything you have Let it divulge and digest cause it's running out too fast It's like floating on an open door or watching waves from underwater So let's pretend that we, let's pretend that we understand the depths Of what's buried in our chests What we've evolved to hide behind the sternum or is it pride? It's a power you can't ignore, spend a lifetime searching for But will we ever know?
