COLLAPSER

Are we to blame
Are we the monster
It can’t be again
We’re Holding up imposters
Are we to blame
For leading them astray again
Feeding only the grain
No one can rise within

Seeking reprieve
We’re on our knees
Do you even care
Shapeless beings walks these halls
Beating down the glare
From hapless folk that make the call

And we throw
All of the ash
Into to the trees
Trickled
Bathing in gray
This house will fall
These embers will play

And now it’s time to steer
You’re choking out all of the air
Why wait for the prayers end to mourn
While hopeless are skinned from their bone
They are not the one
On floors where it can’t be undone
Shame beating drums as we fall
Where the breath between a heartbeats no more

When you’ve stolen
Have you thought of us
When you’ve murdered
Have you brought to life

Killers
Clean the mess
Nameless
Ruin them
Harmless
Wade the dream
Shameless
No one sleeps

And now it’s time to steer
You’re choking out all the air
When there is no reason to stay
Because collapsing it all falls this way
Were needlessly counting the wronged
While the careless are here for too long
