You've abandoned those in need

A necessary casualty

Or so you believe

Your wake will always travel

And well up in the eyes

Of those that you sacrificed

In order to survive

I'm that aimless arrow

Lost from my very start

Violence without purpose

Born of broken hearts

No one will ever guide me

As I sail through the air

Now I just bring sadness

In those who choose to care

I know the tears they're weeping

And the damage they will take

It's the curse of restlessness

And the weight of your mistakes

They are those that love you

And those that need you more

Than the sense of gravity

Banging down your door

I'm that aimless arrow

Lost from my very start

Violence without purpose

Born of broken hearts

No one will ever guide me

As I sail through the air

Now I just bring sadness

To those who choose to care

Aimless arrow

Lost from the start

Aimless arrow

Lost from the start

(Aimless arrow)

Lost from the start

(Aimless arrow)

Lost from the start

(Aimless arrow)

Lost from the start

Lost from the start

For arctic eyes and hard earned rust

I've grown tired of counting odds

To somehow make things even

When sadness always comes home

Sadness comes home

Sadness comes home

Cursed to be your second best

This amber soul will find no rest

I've grown tired of standing up

When every one just gives in

When sadness always comes home

Sadness comes home

Sadness comes home

I take so little and I bleed so much

My hand me down heart is out of luck

I take so little and I bleed so much

My hand me down heart is out of luck

No such thing as good enough

For arctic eyes and hard earned rust

I've grown tired of counting odds

To somehow make things even

When sadness always comes home

5 ContributorsSparrow’s Fall LyricsThe sparrow fell from its perch

From the dead weight of this earth

His precious held life long dreams

Were someone else's old misgivings

Don't live as the echo

But thrive as the sound

Don't live as the echo

But thrive as the sound

The boy dug deep with his hands

Only to find poisoned lands

And all he could carry all he could take

Were our legacies of hand me down mistakes

The fruits of our tears rot at the vine

Not enough heart not enough time

No right answers to their wrong ways

When we inherit our graves

(Don't) live as the echo

(But) thrive as the sound

(Don't) live as the echo

(But) thrive as the sound

Don't let your future

Writhe in our past

Don't let your future

Writhe in our past

Don't let your future

Writhe in our past

Don't let your future

Writhe in our fucking past

And gave away the scrap for free

You have sold your soul for some control

And gnawed at the hands that tried to love and feed

You are crying out to end the drought

Yet it's not your blood that filled this sea

All of the mistakes left in your wake

They all remind me of a younger me

To the parasites that have come and gone

This is your farewell song

To the parasites that have come and gone

This is your farewell song

Run, just run away
