lyrics

The silence we've found always prouder than the voice you lost.
Clawing through words dropped from lips content with a last breath like a heretic.
Finding a dream of salvation; a hint of reality too involved for imagination.
This will be a tribute to the years we've spent building so much nothing, a homage to our hands lost to empty sounds.
The loudest days hiding hopeless eyes; looking for a lifeline but only breaking ties.
We are so many lifetimes away from the one we want to be.
Take your place and play the part.
Wear your make-up like a weapon.

Know how Matthew Stewart talks about being in the right place and right time? This is the right place and the right time, no matter the decade you were born in. Closed hands, open arms, notjing you have ever thought will be worthless, after hearing it repeated from these guys. Their sadness saved us from anything worse than death. [if it exists] karinavr
