in the end, when only hope can heal you
when cold hearts declaim the fallen
the silhouettes are gathering to free you
you know that darkness has no reasons
who would defend that
oh, i can’t pretend
these promises of light
well the less i trust in them when least i’m given
there is no justice to found in the end
you’ve heard about the mess we’re in
let’s not pretend that you always have a reason
these dreams are poison filled
with cuts and pills
and no one’s gonna save us from our own ruin
the fall is simple and vicious, it’s your last sight
one day from resistance we will learn
we face barren features of the past
are we immune, are we absolved
so blameless in the waste of your life
they will return to pay for the lie
i’ll believe it when it comes
This album is still one of my favorites. What Johnny and Evan did here, I don't know if it could ever happen again. There is heart in this album, something actually kind of rare nowadays I think. The beating rhythms and fun riffs meet ethereal vocals and leads that actually impact me emotionally which is, in my opinion, the superlative measure of any work of art. brineryte
