Lyrics

Splinters

A cabin built for families, not for one

These hills are solitary, Lonely Rivers run

Ocean crash duets with cars in canyon pass

Oh the mountains, Majestic force humility

This coffin's in my shadow, Tied to me

There's Questions I can't follow, Colors I can't see

Days scream past, Nights are long in city escape

From sunset to mourning mocks eternity

Falling, Falling

This life is in splinters

And hands over eyes protect innocent blinding

Falling, Falling

Balance is broken, a lifetime of choking

Leaves you blue

Leaves you blue

Leaves you blue

This isolation chamber, disguised but true

Enough to kill this stranger, nothing left to do

Freedom's lost its clarity and breathing comes fast

This escape is essential to live another day

Falling, Falling

This life is in splinters

And hands over eyes protect innocent blinding

Falling, Falling

Balance is broken, a lifetime of choking

Leaves you blue

Leaves you blue

Leaves you blue

Falling, Falling

This life is in splinters

And hands over eyes protect innocent blinding

Falling, Falling

Balance is broken, a lifetime of choking

Leaves you blue

The balance is broken

It leaves you blue
