WHILE SHE SLEEPS LYRICS

1. You Are We

Here lies our addiction the price is a truce
To hide the afflicted right under our nose
Tyrants deprivers of truth
Take what you can we've got nothing to lose

So come and get it
We've got nothing to lose
Yeah I fucking said it
Deprivers of truth

To be honest they force this upon us
Show us the path paved with glass
Sentiment at last
The knife behind your back

Our smoke will paint the sky
Cover up the lights that guide us
Celebrate decline
We made our bed and I will lie to you
That everything's alright

We'll damn the river
We'll damn the river and try to
Hide from the water
Pre creation it's a reign of sin
If the land has been swallowed
We'll learn how to swim
Begging for our sorrow
The tides are turning

You want your countless wars
We want to count less wars
You want to point the blame
At the heretics but you're the hypocrites
It's only hate you preach and when we call for peace
You call it anarchy
I hope your god can save you as your devil leads your way
Yeah

We've got nothing to lose
So come and get it
We've got nothing to lose
Yeah I fucking said it
Deprivers of the truth

It's like raking dead leaves in the wind
It's like saints living life without sins
It's like digging our graves in the sand
It's like raking dead leaves in the wind

Our smoke will paint the sky
Cover up the lights that guide us
Celebrate decline
We made our bed and I will lie to you
That everything's alright

You are we
You are we
Lucifer
You are we

2. Steal The Sun

If there was a plan to fail I would've found another way
To start over again and reset
I realized that if they told us to change
Then we would always stay the same
You can steal the sun but there's a light you can't replace
How does it feel to have everything you'll ever need
And know it's never gonna be, never gonna be enough?

Reforming
We're all terminal
Yeah, reforming

Did you sell your soul to the headlines?
We'll never let you take this away from us
There's no bribe I'd take to betray this trust
Teach our young why we can't survive?
Bow down to the hypocrites
Or the great deceivers of our innocence
Did you bite your tongue, live another lie?
The new wave of realistic minds
What's broken can be fixed
Me and my brothers know we'll never hide
We're living in a system on the brink of sacrifice
And still...

Why are we dying to live?
A sickness we're living in
From here to here
We're like a flickering flame
Never once the same
From here to here

You can steal the sun
It wouldn't be enough

If there was a plan to fail I would've found another way
To start over again and reset
I realized that if they told us to change
Then we would always stay the same
You can steal the sun but there's a light you can't replace
How does it feel to have everything you'll ever need
And know it's never gonna be, never gonna be enough?

We're all terminal
Can you feel it?
We're all terminal
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Reforming

Did you sell your soul to the headlines?
Teach our young why we can't survive?
We're never gonna let you take this away from us
There's no bribe I'd take to betray this trust
Or bow down to the hypocrites
Or the great deceivers of our innocence
The new wave of realistic minds
What's broken can be fixed
We're living in a system on the brink of sacrificing everything

Why are we dying to live?
A sickness we're living in
From here to here

Why are we dying to live?
A sickness we're living in
From here to here
We're like a flickering flame
Never once the same
From here to here

Let go!
The grip as you struggle for this
Like the carrion crows
It's another vicious cycle
From here to hell

3. Feel

We've always been kept in the dark
A vision of our sanctuary
Overshadowed by deceit from the start

The lie within belief
All our thoughts and uncertainties
Are mirrored by a grieving plea
The breathless wind the verse of debauchery
Scorched by the tyrants of industry
She cries "what do you want from me"

So I will beg the feeble question our divided species asks
If we're gunning for this but we know its diminishing fast
Can we at least enjoy it while it lasts

The tidal waves of fear are bearing down on me
Our confusion connects us
Our deception unites us

Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
Never say nihilist of modern day
Never say nihilist of modern day

Let's feel
Let's feel this together
We are a species of course we fight
Fighting started life its time to rectify
Stop living in your fantasy lives
Don't let your body be a graveyard for your mind

Go

Turn it up
Turn it up
This is a broadcast brought to you by the rank and file
Not the back of the room
Exploit our minds and keep us idolizing ignorance

There's a spark in the fuse
There's a fire inside that'll guide us through
The remains of a nation divided
Divided

Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know
Our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know
Never safe in a black market democracy
Never safe to no avail we turn the other way
To no avail we turn the other way

Let's feel
Let's feel this together
Let's feel this together

All of my struggles
Like steel trying to become wood
But seeing it in others is a forest fire
All of my struggles
We're still trying to become one
When will we learn that all we have is enough

Said the nomad to the sea
What is home without these streets I know
We're blinded by our needs our destiny is at our feet
We can march without this beat I know

4. Empire Of Silence

This empire of silence sways in the wind
Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see
A cause for the cancer or a remedy?

Every rung beneath my feet
The weight will bare on shoulders build to lean
The strength inside a seed, we're all alone
If I learn from our deceits
Let the water guide us to the sea
For all our wounds will heal
We're all alone

We're building walls
Where there should have been bridges
Borders in the land that we roam
We pray for war like it's a fucking religion
When greed is all we know

Conditioned innocent with loves intention
Confused together, realize we're all the same

This empire of silence sways in the wind
Leaves for the winter won't you shelter me
Look in the mirror, tell me what you see
A cause for the cancer or a remedy?

Pull out the knife that you've earned
This world's a loss to an age of a self loving race
With no desire to change
Emergency positions please, reprieve humanity

We're building walls
Where there should have been bridges
Borders in the land that we roam
We pray for war like it's a fucking religion
When greed is all we know

We're building walls
Where there should have been bridges
Borders in the land that we roam
We pray for war like it's a fucking religion
When greed is all we know

We won't give up on the truth
We won't give in to their rules
We're not afraid of a world corrupted
We won't give up on you

5. Wide Awake

Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake

Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake

Make sure you suffer, recover and learn to forgive
Mother, Mother Earth our only exorcist
You want fame, well they're watching you anyway
You haunt, you hide, you victimize
Creep like you're unseen and paralyze

Are you waiting for the glass to break and fall at your feet?
To say you knew that it was coming now you know it's too late
You turned the page, it's a world away
Another dose of ignorance will kill the pain

Keep our attention for long enough to cover up
The truth that we're all corrupt, we fall like dominoes
What they told us to trust will keep us all alone
Please don't think outside the box and

Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

You haunt, you hide, you victimize
You want fame, well they're watching you anyway

We're just killing time
We're just killing time

The sorrow is our expression a seldom promise we keep
The struggle learnt in the lesson to only live by our means
Is that all we'll ever be? Not me, not me, not me

Keep our attention for long enough to cover up
The truth that we're all corrupt, we fall like dominoes
What they told us to trust will keep us all alone
Please don't think outside the box and

Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

Two days to dream, after five routines
Seven days to think of what we could've been

Is it too late to try, escape or redefine?
The safe, the sound of life before it goes
Watching others live to kill the time
Why don't we live like we're alive?

I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

We swore to Death that we'd never die
Haunt the ghosts of a paradise I am yet to find

Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

Make sure you work to save, to pay the wage
To get the raise, so fuck today away
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake
I'm wide awake, wide awake, wide awake

6. Silence Speaks

[feat. Oliver Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon]

Where is your heart
Can we beat this if we all
Tear the borders break the walls
Together as one
The cruel hand of a faithless destiny that never sleeps
The guiltless restraints assured by deceit are we free

Are we all alone
If you're gonna accuse me of pouring too much salt in the wound
We have just proved that they can pollute our heads with the news
They will manipulate the masses again
If you're gonna accuse me of telling you what you already knew
Its the same song sung with a different truth and all of us forget it 'cause our heads inside the noose
They will manipulate the masses again yeah yeah we won't forget it

You better pray for absolution
You can change but you can't deny
A new wave in a terror nation
Why do we ignore the warning signs
Board it up the borders are shut
The blood of the innocent is under the rug
White lies in a world corrupt
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes
War will cease when we refuse to fight

Where is your heart
Can we beat this if we all
Tear the borders break the walls
Together as one
The cruel hand of a faithless destiny that never sleeps
The guiltless restraints assured by deceit are we free

Are we all alone
Are we all alone

Hope widows shattered windows
Restriction without effect
Dead lines in silhouettes
Why do we ignore the warning signs
Cold calls to derelict homes
Needles at the side of the road
Wires and liars like thorns that won't let go
Are we too blind to see through honest eyes
War will cease when we refuse to fight
Tell me where is your heart

I think the silence speaks volumes
Now we march to our drums
They're only singing what they want to be sung
Hates become the new anthem
How could you when did our veins run numb
We treat our species like a fucking flood
Hates become the new anthem

The longer I live I learn that we don't belong
We've taken more than we can give and you'd do better on your own
The longer I live I learn that we don't belong
We've taken more than we can give and you'd do better better on your own

Are we all alone

Tear the borders break the walls
Take us back to when we're all
Together as one
Taught to love born to live and let go
Tear the borders
Take us back to when we're all
Together as one
Taught to love born to live and let go

7. Settle Down Society

Silence the battlefield sinks beneath my feet
Settle down society

Surrender all we know
Said thanks but I'm okay with what I'm told
I probably should have known better
But I'll learn right from wrong

Better I listen to myself when
I'm burnt from the flames
but still fuel the fire
I can't promise I'll be home
Can't promise I'll be home

Can you hear the casualty call to the none believers?
Justify a cause where we don't deserve to live
Evil minded corporate war for a lost allegiance
Sacrifice all for the cost of innocence

Can't you see that when the time comes
And they call on us
We'll show them the white flag
Soaked in our blood
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't

Silence the battlefield sinks beneath my feet
Settle down society

Sail fort hope, safest seas
How shallow of me to live like my life's misery

Will we be washed up with the wreckage of savior?
And I'm sick of hearing no fault of mine
I can't promise I'll be home,
can't promise I'll be home
Wake up!

We'll show them the white flag soaked in our blood

Far right, far from right
We left the wing because the violence was deafening
Far right, far from right
We left the wing because the violence was deafening

Can you hear the casualty call to the none believers?
Justify a cause where we don't deserve to live
Evil minded corporate war for a lost allegiance
Sacrifice all for the cost of innocence

Can't you see that when the time comes
And they call on us
We'll show them the white flag
Soaked in our blood
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't

Silence the battlefield sinks beneath my feet
Settle down society

A scarlet letter marks us all
We're damned if we do, damned if we don't

8. Hurricane

All my thoughts are useless
They keep me from seeing the bright light
Falling down this well now
I'm reaching but its too high

Is this the end the fall of man
Did we take nothing from the meaning of change for the masses
We're never gonna learn
If all we do is take take no return
Blame it on the outside close the curtains
Dare me to explain why we don't deserve
The land that we fill and the blood that they spilt
Not a selfish intention an order to kill
Kill kill kill ourselves with the question destroy or rebuild
Bringing S.O.S. to ourselves

All my thoughts are useless
They keep me from seeing the bright light
Falling down this well now
I'm reaching but its too high

I'll take a hurricane to clean up all the mess we made
If we're gonna fly this flag of peace we'll need you
We need to dig this up from the roots
And if a god's looking down we'll give them something to lose

We'll give them something to lose

Assailants second nature hypocrites
Tell me that its not as bad as it may seem
Surviving this death trap by the skin of our teeth
Oxygen thieves are we just oxygen thieves

This is survival of the sickest
We're the casualties that keep living
The same shit over and over again
The end is coming the end is coming

It'll take a hurricane to clean up all the mess we made
If we're gonna fly this flag of peace we'll need you

It'll take a hurricane to clean up all the mess we made
If we're gonna fly this flag of peace we'll need you
We need to dig this up from the roots
And if a god's looking down we'll give them something to lose

All my thoughts are useless
They keep me from seeing the bright light
Falling down this well now
I'm reaching but its too high

9. Revolt

Calling all heathens to the fire
Our only hope is built from the ashes below
Our leaders won't save us
Your queen is dead

Just my luck, it's never been enough
There's only black clouds when I look up
It'll take thirteen nails to hang me from this cross

Trade labour cocaine, blood in the sink
Wash it down and forget what you've seen
Punch drunk in a world of knives
Unscathed to the naked eye

I'd chase the sun over the horizon
If you believed the light would guide us
Towards the fight but away from the sirens
All I need is the air inside my lungs
So hold your head up high

Revolt, this is revolting, revolt, this is revolting
I'll let the state of the world speak for itself

Malignant rituals of apathy
You have the guts to point the finger at me
I don't care what they say
I am your eulogy in this state of reckoning

I'd chase the sun over the horizon
If you believed the light would guide us
Towards the fight but away from the sirens
All I need is the air inside my lungs

You want the bad news
We're still waiting for the greater good
I'll let the state of the world speak for itself

Don't try to convince me
That you're speaking for the rank and the file
While we stand and you hide
We'll be heard for miles
Speaking with the voice of a giant
No borders or sides
No evidence of a trial
There's no escape from their lies
It's just a crooked alliance
Where the wrong lead the right
If we're strong we'll survive
And realize that we will never
Step forward if we're standing in line
We'll never step forward if we're standing in line
So hold your head up high

Revolt, this is revolting, revolt, this is revolting
I'll let the state of the world speak for itself

10. Civil Isolation

Said the skeptic
Born and bred negative
No peace for the calm collective
There's a cold war coming in
1 2 3 Go

Please let me know when its gone
Its not really the best of times
And all we've got is guided by this light within
I'll hold us both until the smoke clears
We're suffocating

Sick of our society
Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead
Sick of always following
Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine
Sick of running on empty pushing the blame
Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today
There's no profit in poverty and I'm running on empty
I'm running on empty running myself into the ground

Said the skeptic
Born and bred negative
No peace for the calm collective
There's a cold war coming in
Go

I feel the need
Its a darkness disease
In this dead town lights out
The creatures come out in the streets
My eyes are burning in this circle of eyes
Close the curtain and hide the knife
We're stacking up we're piling high
We've gone too far to recognize salvation
This is civil isolation

The bitter truth of the world is fucking sickening
Yeah

Tear my eyes on your barbed wire facade
Divides of color and small talk
Medicate for patience
Dig up the graves for our saviors
Civil isolation

Its all gone right to my head
Wondering why we're not all dead
Its safe to say I'm not alone in this
There's something deep within we miss

There's a line in the sand that we won't look past
A cure for the pain but its out of our grasp
If all we love will leave us asking why do we deserve disaster
Let me know

Please let me know when its gone
Its not really the best of times
And all we've got is guided by this light within
I'll hold us both until the smoke clears
We're suffocating

Sick of our society
Sick of trying to fit inside a life I cannot lead
Sick of always following
Sick of trying to be another cog in their machine
Sick of running on empty pushing the blame
Waiting for tomorrow to save us from today
There's no profit in poverty and I'm running on empty
I'm running on empty
I'm running on empty
Running on empty running myself into the ground

11. In Another Now

In another now
The words we speak
Will fade away
And mean nothing to me

We are an avalanche of doubt
Suffocating in the wake
Passed the point of no return
The rivers like the devil's veins will guide the way
Our chrysalis in chains
We've outstayed our welcome under a thirstful sun

Like an island lost at sea
Naive to science the water eats away
And all we do is preach a way
To cure what we can't keep

In another now
The words we speak
Will fade away
And mean nothing to me

It means something to me

I climb to the top of the mountain
And found another towering over me

At the edge without intention or sense
To find a destiny kept behind the fence
That she tempts us to ascend
Lock gate, hide the keys
Take the pain that we feel and call it hope
Why do we destroy everything we try to love?

Take the pain that we feel and call it hope
We destroy everything we try to love
Again and again our vice tradition
When will we learn our rapture is our prison?

Like an island lost at sea
Naive to science the water eats away
And all we do is preach a way
To cure what we can't keep

And mean nothing to me

It means something to me

It's mine but it's probably stolen
Paid the price but it's probably free
For a life unprescribed, an escape from the lines
I can survive if I know you are we
