The Failsafe

(album: Artist Inspiration Series - 2017)

Breaking dawn
Will bring revenge
We should know by now
We're so sick
It was building up
And no one was watching

We're running out of darkened corners
To sweep the waste into
In our distracted focus no one
No one had a chance
When we lined up at the edge
We were open wide
Like fools, waiting for a sign

It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go

As we all went blind
Like an answer to the call of our outstretched hands
The hell we beckon crept inside
The vultures circling overhead
Starving to pick the skeletons we leave
On the eve of the end
As the world around us collides (the ashes shall rain)
Somehow we still beg, we beg
Give us a sign

Dawn brings revenge
Dawn brings revenge

Patience won't mend the broken
Promise of something greater
The cables wrapped around our throat
Tonight pitch red cast over
Senses adrift, I lay me down
Plague wraps its arms around me

Down we go

It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go

When we lined up at the edge
We were open wide
Like fools, waiting for a sign
