[Verse 1]
Tracing oil trails and streaks of black
Serpentine, to certainties that never leave you
Impact at the start of the escape
Far away, where no-one's coming to relieve you
[Pre-Chorus]
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
[Verse 2]
Betrayal's bible is handmade and heavyweight
And best of all, it's open-ended
[Pre-Chorus]
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
[Chorus]
Why do you stay if nothing's left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate there to validate
The claim that faith is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page, the place you might be safe
[Verse 3]
The weapon comes to cure the wound, it's overdue
You keep the evidence to prove it
And read the scraps like clinging leaves of tea
But all I see is accidents, so rise above it
[Pre-Chorus]
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
Excandescent star
Swallowing your heart
[Chorus]
Why do you stay if nothing's left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate there to validate
The claim that faith is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page, the place you might be safe
[Bridge]
Is this superstition the one thing to add up?
Your trust that everything will turn to dust is evidence enough
Betrayal's bible is handmade and heavyweight
And best of all, it's open-ended
[Chorus]
Why do you stay if nothing's left to save?
Eyewitness at the gate there to validate
The claim that faith is not too far from fate
Sealed to the page, the place you might be safe
