lyrics

we were baptized
in the heat and the ash
for writing blank checks
our bodies could not cash

were set in motion
by the spin of the earth
we only have what
we decide were worth

but these recollections inside my head
are getting less and less accurate
im set adrift in a sea of light
so give me something to keep me bright

in all the depths of
all your darkest dreams
did you ever wonder
if theres reasons for those screams

a single moment
and it all makes sense
that were the only ones
to come to our defense

does it take our souls being ripped from
the only place that ever felt like home
to feel anything close to what we felt
when we werent so alone

if our bodies
are really temples
then whys it feel so good
to tear them down

if our bodies
are really this fragile
then were only guests
inside these houses anyhow
