Partial Lyrics:

“Here we stand
precariously balanced
at the edge of infinity
Turn away
Make your escape
Please change your fate, it’s not too late
(x2)
Shatter the mirror and preserve the soul
They’ll never know
The violence
(REQUITED)
THE VOID HAS BECOME A VEIL
Who could tell?
WE MUST NOT LOSE OURSELVES
Don’t succumb to infinity
That is not what’s meant to be
Step back from the ledge
Take my hand, take my hand
Bear with me now
The grave gapes below
Though you feel dead on the inside
I know you aren’t too far gone
The violence
(REQUITED)
THE VOID HAS BECOME A VEIL
Who could tell?
WE MUST NOT LOSE OURSELVES
Don’t succumb to infinity
That is not what’s meant to be
Step back from the ledge
Take my hand, take my hand
Bear with me now
The grave gapes below
They left us to die
and I know you’d burn the world
just so they’d realize
the grave gapes below
Rush the inevitable
Revel in the rubble
Would you trade peace for vindication?
Troubled minds seeking answers
Injustice overwhelms us all
We must save ourselves
and with us, one another
Here we stand
precariously balanced
at the edge of infinity
Turn away
Make your escape
Please change your fate, it’s not too late
Although injustice overwhelms us all
we must save ourselves
and with us, one another
Don’t succumb to infinity
That is not what’s meant to be
Step back from the ledge
Take my hand, take my hand
Bear with me now
The grave gapes below
They left us to die
and I know you’d burn the world
just so they’d realize
the grave gapes below
Although injustice overwhelms us all
We must save ourselves
and with us, one another
DON’T SUCCUMB TO INFINITY (x4)”

“If we were born self-destructive or with guarded hearts
We’re healing now by trading keys or breaking in (BREAK IN)
We’re promising each other that we are not our scars
And our identities aren’t defined by skin.”

“If you ever hear these words, I hope you still recognize my voice
If this song hits the radio, I hope it breaks through the city noise
Whether I’m screaming up to heaven or to a town a hundred miles away
I’m just going with the hope that I’ll see you again one day.

It’s been a couple hard and empty years
Been called a fool for counting on you coming home
I’ve found friends but it still hurts without you here
I guess with you gone I’m always half alone

I’ve brushed hands with death and nearly reached the end
Took a hit and risked a flatline
But if your heart’s still beating in your chest my friend,
I hope you find your way back here to mine.”

“This isn’t romantic
not beautifully tragic
it’s ugly and painful
it’s so fucking wasteful
Suicide songs
are always too long
for something that cuts so much short.”
