we wait by waters that are distilled
unlike the seas that we crave
if only there was any easy way

to regain the memories
to move such an amount
so that we put these fires out

so they don't burn down anymore
of what was left of this town


We let go of everything that we had
with nothing to hold onto or grasp
I'd give anything to see this place rise, again

and ashes fill a void where buildings should reach the skies
we know you're coming back


Just these railings keep us from falling
into the sky, covered in, clouds
that sent someones wage

into coals and ashes
this lit skyline
hits so close to home

it's what I wished for, it was for the best

What I see here lights our darkness

and even when it clears that glow still haunts us
Clouds have risen behind the smoke
it gave the world no permission

to disinfect when man neglects to listen
we bring this on ourselves
the problem is what we reflect

we have too much self respect

we wait by waters that are distilled

unlike the seas that we crave
if only there was any easy way
to regain the memories

to move such an amount
so that we put these fires out
so they don't burn down anymore

of what was left in this town

We let go of everything that we had

with nothing to hold onto or grasp
I'd give anything to see this place rise, again


Just these railings keep us from falling
into the sky covered in, clouds
that sent someones wage

into coals and ashes
this lit skyline
hits so close to home

it was what I wished for
it was for the best
