The dust and debris collapsed to the oceans and the seas
It flashed and erupted, the gods crippled with laughter
And i was powerless to pretend that i wasn't in control
Of all the cities that glittered this was the city that glowed
How could you choose water over wine?
When there's so much to spare
Save your breath tonight's not done with you yet
You can't understand the depths until all you know becomes unknown
Who are we if not the walls that surround us?
Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear
Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones?
Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear
Cue the sun, the siege has passed, the tide has spoken and his words fall fast
Will I ever learn before I wash ashore
Or is this a scar that I've grown to adore
Who are we if not the walls that surround us?
Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear
Who are we if not the skin that binds to our bones?
Nothing is ever safe, nothing is ever clear
You can't resent the road that gave you something to lose
We're just the sum of the paths that we came through
So hold your breath like it's everything you have
Let it divulge and digest cause it's running out too fast
It's like floating on an open door or watching waves from underwater
So let's pretend that we, let's pretend that we understand the depths
Of what's buried in our chests
What we've evolved to hide behind the sternum or is it pride?
It's a power you can't ignore, spend a lifetime searching for
But will we ever know?
