II (Feat. Garrett Russell)

[Chorus: Kendall Thompson]
Was the world set upon its axis
Just to hide my never-ending absence?
Where do I turn?
I cannot see the road before my feet

[Verse 1: Kendall Thompson]
Oh the urgency of urgent prey
You lie there in wait for the light to fade
And leap out in the dark so you can lay
Waste to the ones held in chains by you
(Held in chains by you)
They’ll abandon all hope, as your eyes shine through

[Pre-Chorus: Kendall Thompson]
These paths my bare feet take will lead me to my death
I tread on darkened ground, I do no walk with steadfast steps

[Chorus: Kendall Thompson]
Was the world set upon its axis
Just to hide my never-ending absence?
Where do I turn?
I cannot see the road before my feet
(This road before my feet)
I’ve been swallowed into the wild (Wild)
[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Entombed in the chthonic depths
Nesciently nesting in another nevermore
Your sons were given the privileged throne
And I was made to lay in this tomb of a body
Brick by brick, I’ll rebuild you a wall
A way to regain a home or a hole
But I suppose it’s not my song to sing
The byproduct of wayward thoughts and crooked dreams

[Bridge: Garrett Russell]
Step by step we're only chasing our deaths
Step by step we're only chasing our deaths (Our deaths)

[Ending: Kendall Thompson]
A bastion of freedom built on slaves set in chains
Are you the fiend that your image portrays you to be?
Or will you restore my humanity?
Unchain me
