Five of Cups Lyrics

Can you feel the world shake

With every lasting breath you take

Silence is deafening

Why won't you say something

I feel the weight of the waves

Crashing down around me

The waters sweet embrace

My final resting place

Resting place

Resting place

Resting place

I'm watching everything I built

Crumble to ashes go up in smoke

I see my life burn down around me

I'm watching all the flowers wilt

I took the meds the doctors told me to take but nothing has changed

I don't know who to blame

I gave it everything I had

Just to crush my own dreams in my hands

Chasing promises I never made

Watching all the stars fall over me

I flew too close to the sun

Just to watch my wings crumple to dust

After everything I worked to save

The shadows still call out my name

This is the way we live

Hearing in dissonance

Feeling in agony

Watching in vigilance

Scaling the wall I built

Charging the battlefield

Seeing my history end in my misery

Regretting the words I said

Knowing there's nothing left

Trying to fix the past

I never have success

The scars I bear

Consume me

This nightmare never ends

It'll take you down with me

I gave it everything I had

Just to crush my own dreams in my hand

Chasing promises I never made

Watching all the stars fall over me

I flew too close to the sun

Just to watch my wings crumple to dust

After everything I worked to save

The shadows still call out my name

The scars I bear consume me
