lyrics

jericho

I should be looking down right now
but I stare on into mirages
there’s an ocean wave amongst the dunes
when my eyes became dry ice

the sun set six, the sun set six tonight
blind faith, blind rage, are all so binding
will you blow the ram’s horn tonight
and break all that I have built?

if I fell down
would you stop walking around me?
and just lay down
and let an end
remain an end?
if I fell down
would you stop walking around me?
and just lay down
and let a friend
remain a friend?

but the strongest steels are always tested
the bravest blood is always spilt
the safest place is always hunted
what is it about walls that make you people want to break them?

you’re the cultured diamond
on the ring you’ve walked
will you spare me
if I give you a son?
for I was an empty suit of armor
and you need something now to keep you safe

now I've fell down
so would you stop walking around me?
and just lay down
and let an end
remain an end?

the strongest steels are always tested
the bravest blood is always spilt
the safest place is always hunted
what is it about walls that make you people want to break them?

I’ve been confusing angels for vultures
I’ve been confusing halos for hollows
the heats been seeping in my head for days for days
the heats been seeping in my brain, my brain, my brain
the heats getting to my brain, my heart, my head, my days
