  • Is there nothing but the cold at the center of a blackhole?

    The signal fire's gonna burn out
    Through the sirens and the flares
    I was swallowed by the storm clouds
    Hail stones on a glass house
    There were diamonds in the air
    And the oxygen left my chest

    Lost souls trapped beneath this ceiling
    It's figure eight 'til the ghosts have been laid to rest
    Pull it tight, try to stop this bleeding
    Stampede as the horrors run through my head

    Death stared and I died a thousand times
    Nightmares left a riot in my mind
    Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
    Midnight, we cut the power lines
    No light but the fire in my eyes
    Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?

    Sick of living with the pain now
    Someone take me for repair
    There's a bitter taste in my mouth
    In the silence there was ill health
    Maybe life just isn't fair
    Maybe I'm just fucking self obsessed

    Don't say I gotta chase this feeling
    Bullets hit but it's only gonna dent the vest
    Wartime with the whole world sleeping
    Bombs drop on the prison hope built instead

    Struck down
    Souls carried through an unknown universe
    No service for the faithless
    Everything turns to dust

    Death stared and I died a thousand times
    Nightmares left a riot in my mind
    Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?
    Midnight, we cut the power lines
    No light but the fire in my eyes
    Is today so hollow if there were no tomorrow?

    There were diamonds in the air
    And the oxygen left my chest
    Is there anybody there?
    I pray that I'll be blessed

    Heaven to Earth
    God only knows if we're here in spirit
    Chapter and verse
    There's nowhere to go when the sky is the limit

    Reign
    Reign

    Is there nothing but the cold at the center of a blackhole?

    Heaven to earth
    God only knows if we're here in spirit
    Chapter and verse
    Nowhere to go when the sky is the limit Writer/s: Dan Searle, Jordan Fish, Samuel David Carter
