lyrics

Afraid another cry from the weak
They're always buried
in the sheet of the weary
don't mind if I call you back
this voice is all I've ever had

I turned to watch the others
as they walked away
I couldn't see my lovers
as the crowd began to fade
as the clouds came in close
the smell of hope burnt in my clothes
I thought we could make it
before our colors would fade away

You've got your hands around my neck
you're stone cold but I'm feeling it
Dead eyed a son of a wreath
you're still alive but you seen nothing yet
wide eye with an empty chest
oh you haven't een a thing yet

Weary is the head that wears the crown

An eye for an eye
a tooth for a tooth
keep up with your lies
like they're something to prove
don't get carried away, carried away
I didn't think you were big enough to wager,
to wager all this

I turned to watch the others
as they walked away
I couldn't see my lovers
as the crowd began to fade
as the clouds came in close
the smell of hope burnt in my clothes
I thought we could make it
before our colors would fade away

where's your courage
where's your voice
raise the question
make the choice
where's your courage
where's your voice
raise the question
make the choice

All eyes off the captain
all eyes on me
I'll end the destruction
I'll set you free

I'll keep it to myself
and drag you underneath
what is it worth
what is it worth
to you
