lyrics

I could live forever, in your vision of comfort and ease
but I don't truly believe
it's a fantasy to think, that the sun will never sink
just because you will it into being

the shine of their eyes, came as no surprise
I've always known there were monsters in the wild
ignore them if you like, but there are terrors in the night
that will seek you out and become part of your life

every ghost you've ever wanted,
every heart you've ever haunted
your tears are more poison in the glass
you may drink to drown your sorrows
but they're as buoyant as they're hollow
all your tomorrows are dictated by your past

in the dark we speak no language
on the banks where we languish
in limbo on the river of doubt
the silence that knows no boundaries
I may remain as you found me
a labyrinth that never lets out
..in limbo on the river of doubt

what good does it do, to agonize the state of humanity
it puts nothings towards your happiness or your rent
you burn your angry effigies, in protest of our vanity
solidarity with this growing dissent

but men are men and so are women
and children are beasts without supervision
the world spins out and teeters on it's side
all of recorded history is just a popular song stuck on repeat
you stand there looking for answers in the sky

we are the mold on the sandwich, the ants on an anthill
a train full of bandits soon to derail
I don't know how we've managed, 200,000 years of anguish
we all believe it was our own generation that tipped the scales

in the dark we speak no language
on the banks where we languish
in limbo on the river of doubt
the silence that knows no boundaries
I may remain as you found me
a labyrinth that never lets out
..in limbo on the river of doubt
