lyrics

I hope this letter finds you well

The thing to remember, old friend,
Is how terribly rough this place may be
But if we try to find life again everyday
The rain may clear and with it our conscience
We live in fear
What used to be so pure,
What used to be so clear,
Just disappeared
And you became

A ghost protecting home

The stench of death
Makes you long for a time when
The air was dry, and I was by your side
But for now my friend,

You walk these shores alone

And your only thought is finding solace at night
I abhor the ones that made you this way
Sent you to do their work
Those concerned with palaces
While we make it in the dirt

I worry over you
I’m seeing the decay
I am trying to guide you
To bring your beauty home

How could I ever walk in your shoes?
When the only person they'd ever fit on is you?
While I took all the fear in stride
Both of my feet became
Tarnished and blistered and bruised

I wasn’t there when you cast me out
Caught off guard by your audacity to lie
And the joke of it all
I’ve been here before
Staring into the face of the storm

You are drenched in mud
Trenches are filled with blood
You can wash it off
You can wash it off

You are such a war-torn fool
Comparing yourself to what I am
You’re fighting with a dead man
And I can guarantee no resolve

I'm afraid
I'm not making it another mile
Before they leave me unmarked
In this godforsaken ground

Most days
I pray for relief
To wash down on my face
To try to clear
My conscience
Of these memories
I can't escape

But some
I pray for fire
Some kind of life
Thrown down on me
So I am forced
To take a stand

To make a choice
For their beating hearts
To lay them down
Cold as the ground
It's my choice to make
Mine to take
My life to decide the fate

We are no longer human
We walk alone
I am no longer human
I am alone
