The Winds

This is where we started

And where we'll always be

Your soul was bought and sold

Mine is a dark shadow 

of what it used to be

Everybody knows there's nothing

sacred in the heart of thieves

And love is its own reward

It bends all truths

And justifies all means

We betrayed ourselves

And were left on our own

We gave in to wanting

And our will was done

We're the unlucky ones 

Bound to spend forever

out of heaven fighting 

against the winds

This is who we are

And what we cannot deny

You may try to run and hide

But I look at our sins

Right in the eye

You throw away your armor

It falls in a pile at my feet 

At sighting of my raw will

This is who we are

Who we are meant to be

For a moment 

we close our eyes

And hold hands for the

thousandth last time

To feel the winds hawling

and blowing on our face

As we fall into the temptation

Of despair and disgrace

To the bottom of it there's

no relief, there's no redemption

And there will never be

Crash and Burn

We saw the world ending

When we tore it down on our own

You had a revelation in a bad hallucination

And I was thirsty for blood for too long

Something new began

When we declared love and war

In a lawless land, hearts in our hands

In front of blind witnesses

We woke up to the light of day

To see dreams can stale very fast

And made a fool of ourselves

Now there's nothing left to betray

But we'll never confess

who did it first

Over and over 

No hearts left unbroken

No secrets left unspoken

And we can't turn back time

See me losing you losing me

As you're chasing me for

the darkest corners of my mind

We lost it all, we lost the fight

And took what little we deserved

It was all or nothing

It was crash and burn

We knew what we've done

And we'll never know if it was right

Standing on ground zero, no saint, no hero

Just broken, looking each other in the eye

Destroy something beautiful

Tell me to fuck off like it's your salvation

Bargain the truth as if it's yours to lose

And there's nothing you can do

I know we both lost something

And it's too far gone to get back

But I'm not the reason or a reflex

Of your bad luck and unhappiness

Or why you might never find 

what you're looking for

Over and over 

No hearts left unbroken

No secrets left unspoken

And we can't turn back time

See me losing you losing me

As you're chasing me for

the darkest corners of my mind

Lost in a maze, fading in a shade

Until it turns into a blur

It was all or nothing

It was crash and burn

Look over your shoulder

And see nothing is the same

Dishonor what you crave and

Place a white rose on the grave

Don't bother including me in

bad jokes or fishy stories

Don't mourn when there's

nothing left to mourn

it was crush and burn
