The Amity Affliction
Fire or Knife
[Verse 1: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
Why are we even breathing, if the only reason to exist
Is to stare skyward and put my hands together?
Then why am I even here, to serve a myth
And carry these burdens on my chest?
As it caves in and free will gives way
To the guilt of lost and misinterpreted verses
I can't see the logic in falling to my knees
Where is the logic? There is no logic!
[Pre-Hook: Joel Birch]
I was blinded and inducted
[Hook: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
Into a world that has no meaning
No basis for belief
And now they wonder why I'm seething
I'll spit this in their faces, and burn their false pretenses!
On which they stand, the pulpit burying our youth
Beneath the tides of callous sands
No room to breathe!
No room to breathe
[Verse 2: Joel Birch]
In the chambers of your guilt
Under a cross and devils' gaze
While you sit and wait to die
There'll be no god in the cold night sky
[Bridge: Joel Birch & Ahren Stringer]
There's no god who can hear you
There's no god who understands
Who understands
Regrets too often haunt us, again and again
Sometimes it seems so hopeless, but we cannot give in
When all our best decisions prove us wrong
And when, we're only waiting for goodbyes
We've already given in, given in!
Already given in, given in!
Already given in!
We've already given in, given in!
Already given in, given in!
Already given in
But we're never giving in!
[Outro / Breakdown: Joel Birch]
There is no god who can hear you, just a sky full of stars!
The same stars you will be wishing on
When death comes to call on us
Call on us
