lyrics

Handed a loaded gun, point it at everyone
Demons along the way are dancing out in the sun
A secular on the run, not tied to anyone
Replete in their majesty, no scraps or crumbs here for us
A long-form fade; defy or break down
Hold me close, 'fore I wither away

If I can't make it another day
If I don't breathe fire or walk the sea-
know that every step I take is made for you
Here you bray, hear you crow
Only heed the words that make a sound in your soul

Handed a loaded gun, point it at everyone
Demons along the way are dancing out in the sun
A secular on the run, not tied to anyone
Replete in their majesty, no scraps or crumbs here for us
A long-form fade; defy or break down
Hold me close, 'fore I wither away

If I can't make it another day
If I don't breathe fire or walk the sea-
know that every step I take is made for you
Trial and failure to hear a plea
All the shackles that set you free
Not every frail heart needs to find amnesty
Here you bray, hear you crow
Only heed the words that make a sound in your soul
Here you bray, hear you crow
Only heed the words that make a sound in your soul
