lyrics

Through all the burning pages
Forgotten this old name from this memory
And scattered ashes will remain
And so, good Captain, tell me
Why did you give your all and then take it away?
It’s got you hurting
And trapped inside the porcelain display

With my head down in these books
And my feet stuck in the sand
It’s never been too late to say

This town I know
Tried to leave me feeling low
It’s taken all the care away

And go through open windows
Leave me to escape with conviction
And learning not to be afraid
And all these paper foxes
That bite the hands that feed them to lead them astray
Through all these places
Marching through the new parade

A time to shake this fear
That’s had a hold on me too long
No longer be afraid again

This town I know
Tried to leave me feeling low
It’s taken all the care away
The thoughts I’m bleeding still receiving though
A time to finally show
A slow return to the unknown

Until the fire starts
Says who we are
To everyone I know
