Devices Lyrics

Eyes forward

We don't speak of the past

Hands stretch out

Burrowing into an open mouth

These hungry hearts eat spit

So breathe deeper

In promises I couldn't keep,

This is a pact

You were dependent

On an exit

I caught you at the wheel asleep

You took step in my direction

But now you're losing sight of me

So at nighttime, I haunt you

Completely

In floodlights, your image

Befitting

I'm such perfect example

Such a flawed deity

How the gods love to ramble

And yet their tongues would never meet

I'm still torn at the edges

You're so simple to please

And now I'm drowning in excess

Disregarded in victory

What place is this

What kingdom

What wounded world

I came to hide on these shores

With the treasure that

I've stolen away

The wealth

I can never use

It's the price

I have to pay

I am

Lost

To

Time

You were dependent

On an exit

I caught you at the wheel asleep

You took step in my direction

But now you're losing sight of me

So at nighttime, I haunt you

Completely

In floodlights, your image

Befitting

And I never quite know where the ending begins

You've been a ghost in my memory

Ever since you went away

I swallowed the embers

Breathe deep the heat

Write every letter

When I exhale

I've let identity escape me

For years I've been consumed by false hope

Well I can present the past

Disguised in tatters

Paper chains

Can't hold the weight
