Give Them the Bayonet

Don't turn your back, don't hide your face

I got carried away this time

These eyes have burned with lust

This heart has harbored hate

This weight is overwhelming

I'm a walking contradiction

No peace, no rest for my mind



Are you indifferent

My faith is dwindling

Are you indifferent

My faith is written in the sand

I'm scraping bottom, I can see the lanterns by my grave

Will you leave me here alone

Bleeding canvas, oh, my white walls can't breathe

My ghosts have come and passed



This awkward motion has dissolved all means

I'm cutting ties to keep from getting back



My heart breaks in this silence

Is this the moment you've been waiting for; are you watching now

All I have are hidden worries

If this is all we know, I'm better off alone



Everything comes down to nothing

Anger is wasted on this life

Show me the meaning behind your actions

Pour life back into these hands
