Trenches

(album: Collisions And Castaways - 2010)

Reckless abandon, coming undone
Survive the swallow, decade of ruin gone

I found myself in trenches tonight
Regret runs wild as darkness kills
All the lights
All the lights have died
Slow dose of hell stripping what's left
Sleepless for days on end

And ingest life on all sides

I can't be reached in this soulless design
Capsized my insides, hours inch by
Inviting the lions to all take a piece
Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease

Searching the city, to no avail
Can't find me anywhere, winds out of sail

I found myself in trenches tonight
Regret runs wild as darkness kills
All the lights
All the lights have died
Slow dose of hell stripping what's left
Sleepless for days on end

And ingest life on all sides

I can't be reached in this soulless design
Capsized my insides, hours inch by
Inviting the lions to all take a piece
Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease

I need a search light to make amends
From the insides out, out, out, out, out
On the strength of its test
Full blooded sense of life, life, life, life, life

Ghosts remain on auto pilot
Looking to cancel out
Brief breath of air in darkness
Survive in doubt

I can't be reached in this soulless design
Capsized my insides, hours inch by
Inviting the lions to all take a piece
Destroyed by endless ends, looking to cease

And ingest life on all sides
And ingest life
