lyrics

There’s no rest for the brave
i have no soul to save
but i can’t seem to sleep
no matter how weak I become
as the clock ticks
my mind starts playing tricks
and I just can’t seem to wake
no matter how bright the sun

and the stars in the sky
are like blueprints of our minds
and the waves in the sea
are exactly like our lives
crashing and foaming and starting again
just like the beginning as it reaches back into the end

as digital campfires blaze
our heads lay leaking
sometimes i just can’t tell
if I’m thinking or if I’m speaking
if I could find my voice in this deafening sea of sound
i’d catch the first fucking wave
and ride it straight out of town
