Creeping up a wall of glass
I'm entirely made of sand
Lurching up. Feeding back
What the canyon wants the canyon gets

And the canyon craves an apology
And a pound of flesh
I thought I felt. I thought I saw
I thought I knew. So much chatter

Let there be shade. Un-illuminate
Nothing will change if you don't lead with your shadow
Let there be shade. Un-illuminate
Exhale the plague. Cloud your vision

An unpainted corner, my kingdom come
Silence tells me I can't escape it
Now we write our names on the moon in blood
I have set us back twenty centuries

All the letters sent with no address

Is he talking to or talking down to me?
They'll kill us if they have the chance
I hear their conversations
They'd kill us if they had the chance

I'll be the first to take it
I still feel like someone is watching
Though I'm not sure if that someone is listening
It don't matter much to my suffering
Because I know for a fact no one's answering

Let there be shade. Un-illuminate
Nothing will change if you don't lead with your shadow

I was on the shoulders of leviathans
But I couldn't see through the fog of anger
And I failed myself like I did before

My work is lost. All my reckoning
Back to sin. Back to shame
Back into the quicksand

Guarding an empty house
I have lost everything I had found
Sorrow will overcome
