The Unraveling

And all these things that we tie together Keep unraveling apart And the light that used to burn so bright Now is dark With anger-laced intent we set fire To the bridges that remain And they're wading through the current now. And they drown in the flood of the tears That have been wept And I scream to the sky "No, you are not alone..." If you think that your words will ever make a difference Think again and carry on Because the weight behind the hand that holds us is strong But there is hope in the roar of a thousand pleading cries And all these things that we tie together The sound of their tongues being bitten Is all I hear? As we fire at the whites of their eyes then Dance on ashes of the world As they drown in the flood of the tears That have been wept And their tongues being bitten Is all that I can hear As I scream to the sky, "I need you now..." Can you feel this truth now unraveling? Or will you chase the burning sun Into the sea.
