An Ordinary Extinction Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Do you feel at home in limbo? (Limbo)
Hiding a broken vow
A phantom at the window (Window)
[Refrain]
Can you swallow the shame?
Has your courage been burnt out, faded away?
There won't be a saviour in sight, but it's okay
('Cause we're comfortable)
[Chorus]
We're stood at the edge of the world
Seize the snakes (The snakes)
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
[Verse 2]
When the clock runs down to zero
We'll stand up and take a bow
So quick to play the hero
[Refrain]
Are you fanning the flames?
Are you torching the lighthouse stood in the way?
Complicity burning so bright, yet we delay
(Are you culpable?)
[Chorus]
Seize the snakes (The snakes)
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake (The lake)
When the water runs dry
We'll be slaves to the anchor
The Devil may cry
We're stood at the edge of the world
[Post-Chorus]
We're stood at the edge of the world (World, world, world)
[Bridge]
Nothing is holy, we all take the blame
Crumbling slowly
The cliff face belongs to the ocean
So run for your life
Do you remember the tip of the spear?
The edge of the knife?
We're freshly dismembered, but won't shed a tear
So run for your life
[Chorus]
We're stood at the edge of the world
Seize the snakes (The snakes)
They're living a lie
Blinded by a candle, they're saying goodbye
We're stood at the edge of the world
Drag the lake (The lake)
When the water runs dry
We'll be slaves to the anchor
The Devil may cry
We're fighting to stay alive, how can we all survive?
No second chances, we're stood at the edge of the world
[Outro]
We're stood at the edge of the world, yeah
We're fighting to stay alive
Impermanence Lyrics
[Verse 1: Sam Carter, Sam Carter & Josh Middleton]
We've got a choice, but still we’d rather choose to suffer
'Cause there's no escape once the fuse is lit
Locked in this pantheon
[Refrain: Sam Carter]
Swimming with concrete shoes
The reaper comes to take the best of you
Can you see the writing on the wall?
[Verse 2: Sam Carter, Sam Carter & Josh Middleton]
There is a subtle space that we’ll all discover
'Cause there is a seat reserved for thе spirit
Passing through one by one
[Refrain: Sam Carter]
Riding a torpedo
Wе wash away into the overflow
Can you see the writing on the wall?
[Chorus: Sam Carter]
We're barricaded, 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony that
Fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again and again
[Post-Chorus: Sam Carter]
Again and again and again
Do you really wanna live forever? Oh (Oh)
[Verse 3: Sam Carter, Sam Carter & Josh Middleton]
We are so lost staring into all the colour
It hurts, but reality is counterfeit
We came from the beyond
[Refrain: Sam Carter]
Living a cameo
One final breath and then we split in two
Can you see the writing on the wall?
[Chorus: Sam Carter]
We're barricaded, 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony that
Fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again and again
[Breakdown: Winston McCall]
Even the doomed refuse
We were born to lose
Do you really wanna live forever?
’Cause those afraid to die will never truly live
They’ll never truly live
Even the doomed refuse
We were born to lose
Do you really wanna live forever?
[Chorus: Sam Carter]
We're barricaded, ’cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony that
Fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again
We are barricaded, 'cause nobody wants to meet their maker
The seeds are sown then we die alone, we die alone
Eviscerated, we're all players in a symphony that
Fights against impermanence
Again and again and again and again and again
Flight Without Feathers Lyrics
[Intro]
There's a rose that blooms
Through the cracks in the concrete
Staining the prison floor
There's a pilgrimage waiting sat at the doorstep
Rotting beneath the sun (Sun, sun, sun, sun)
[Verse 1]
When there's nowhere left to hide
We'll be searching for a shortcut
Ire and denial are as thick as thieves
Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe
Tell me how to coexist when a fraction only wants war
Hopelessly in love with our gritted teeth
Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Don't forget to breathe
I forgot to breathe, and look who's on the throne now
[Chorus]
A dead heretic with no storm left to weather
Afraid to admit, it won't sustain the spirit
A new counterfeit like flight without feathers
Ready to submit, it won't sustain the spirit
[Post-Chorus]
(It won't sustain the spirit)
[Verse 2]
So we fall to our knees and beg for reprieve
But it's almost time for the curtain call
The apostles will sing and lead us from sin
But they hold all of our bones in their hands
We all swim against the tide until it puts us on the back foot
Nothing's ever tasted half as good as grief
Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe
'Cause I'm starin' at a fist and it's askin' if I want more
Clarity will visit, but it's only brief
Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me
Don't forget to breathe
Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe
[Chorus]
A dead heretic with no storm left to weather
Afraid to admit, it won't sustain the spirit
A new counterfeit like flight without feathers
Ready to submit, it won't sustain the spirit
[Outro]
(It won't sustain the spirit)
(It won't sustain the spirit)
(It won't sustain the spirit)
(It won't sustain the spirit)
Little Wonder Lyrics
[Verse 1: Sam Carter]
Burn the altar built by the dollar sign, those waters are shallow
That's why the kids all say, "Get the fuck out of our way"
[Refrain: Sam Carter]
'Cause we're picking up the slack, taking power back
Yeah, they made a bed out of our bones, said it's all just overblown
It doesn't matter if you're friend or if you're foe
Do you really think you wanna be saved?
[Chorus: Sam Carter]
I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow
(Everything is fuckin' fine)
We can dance, we can all sing along
We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's еasier to follow
[Post-Chorus: Sam Carter]
I wanna sing you a different song, onе that's easier to swallow
We all say that we wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow
[Verse 2: Mike Kerr]
There are vultures preachin' the party line, those goldmines are hallowed
And if we look away, then we'll all have hell to pay
[Refrain: Mike Kerr]
So we cover up the tracks, there's no going back
Yeah, I know that Rome was overthrown, but it wasn't done alone
And you would think that we were better off below
Were you hopin' that the dead could be raised?
[Chorus: Sam Carter]
I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow
(Everything is fuckin' fine)
We can dance, we can all sing along
We can say how we all wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow
[Post-Chorus: Sam Carter]
I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow
We all say that we wanna be saved, but it's easier to follow
[Bridge: Sam Carter]
If we miss the deadline, we can always blame the Divine
Gripping knives and praising lowlives
Nobody could say with a straight face
"They didn't have it comin'"
[Breakdown: Sam Carter]
They fucking had it coming
They fucking had it coming
[Chorus: Sam Carter]
I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow
(Easier to swallow)
We can dance, we can all sing along
We can say how we all wanna be saved
But it's easier to follow
I wanna sing you a different song, one that's easier to swallow
We all say that we wanna be saved
[Outro: Sam Carter]
If we miss the deadline, we can always blame the Divine
Gripping knives and praising lowlives
Nobody could say with a straight face
"They didn't have it comin'"
