Till We Have Faces Lyrics

I stole the moon as my crown until the stars came down
I was the king of instability
"No one can stop my rise!" bipolar moons align
Until the chemicals gave way to gravity
Sweet gravity

Falling at the speed of sound, I whispered to the sleeping ground
Ask the dead, cause they won't lie, there's no antidote for time
How can I survive?

How can I survive when the seconds infect my lungs?
I can't inoculate or save myself when everything is built to spill
Hold us together when the fear tears us apart
Lovers, forever, you are the answer to the dark

Falling at the speed of sound I whispered to the sleeping ground
Ask the dead, cause they won't lie, there's no antidote for time
How can I survive gravity?
As my bones begin to break: Metanoia
I surrender to the weight of gravity

Even the silence has a rhythm
And as I beat against the earth it sounded like omission
Laying inside the lowland, I bowed within the reeds
I gave myself to consequence when grace devoured me

Colors ignite with cosmic fission
Eidolons of light scorch the earth in absolution
I'll break like the dawn, I'll bleed by design
Surrender regret, there's no antidote for time
How can I survive?
I couldn't hide from gravity
As my bones begin to break: Metanoia
I surrender to the weight of gravity

Falling at the speed of sound, I whispered to the sleeping ground
Ask the dead, cause they won't lie, there's no antidote for time
