The Rift

from Vessels by Ethos

/

lyrics

You stay safe and quiet
And cast yourself to a frame.
Acquisition leaves you with nothing to claim.

No matter what you take
You’ll never fill that black hole in you.
It seems a shame you’d dam
The spring that gave you life.
But I won’t cave in.

You wage war with quiet voices,
But you ignore the screaming in your head.

No matter what you say
You’ll always need a curse for a cure.
Your life a tower built
By you to tumble down.
But I won’t cave in.

There’s a rift forming again
In my head between
Who I am and what I dream.

All the world wants a sedative
But I wish God would shout loud enough to
Wake us up.
Wake us up again.

You sleep in a safe house.
I wish God would burn it to the ground.
