The Failsafe

Breaking dawn will bring revenge
We should know by now we’re so sick.
It was building up and no one was watching
We’re running out of darkened corners to sweep the waste into
In our distracted focus no one had a chance
When we lined up at the edge, we were open wide
Like fools waiting for a sign
It was a free fall
An act of desperation, our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go As we all went blind, like an answer to the call of an outstretched hand
The hell we beckoned crept inside
The vultures circling overhead, starving to pick the skeletons we leave
On the eve of the end as the world around us burns
Somehow we still beg, give us a sign
Dawn brings revenge
Patience won’t mend the broken
Promise of something greater
The cables wrapped around our throat, tonight pitch red cast over
Senses adrift, I lay me down
Plague wraps it’s arms around me Down we go It was a free fall
An act of desperation, our backs against the wall
It was a free fall
It was an act of desperation
Down we go As we lined up at the edge, we were open wide
Like fools waiting for a sign
