A Tale of Outer Suburbia

Pry the darkness from my eyes

Divided, let the light seep in

Trees devoid of branches

And hollow hives

Endless black and empty beds

It's not the same, something's changed

I never used to be able to see past the trees

A thousand unfamiliars are lying thick on the air

And I can't breathe

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

Don't tear apart the town then sleep

And sleep alone.

If I'm a flame

I'm a forest fire speaking savage tongues

As I emerge from the hills

I am an avalanche

I am unchained. I'm awoken

I'll unleash hell

So I roar, pin back my ears

And stone by stone

I'll tear it all

I'll tear it all apart

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Don't tear apart the town then sleep

And sleep alone.

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

I've lost faith, the forest's changed

My stomach's empty I'm feeling faint

I've lost heart, the forest's scarred

I hear no birds, just TV's and cars

I've lost faith, the forest's changed

My stomach's empty I'm feeling faint

I've lost sight, the forest's died

The brambles are bare, and I'm hollow inside

Each breath rattles like dice in my chest

Each breath gambled, unwinding til death

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Is our skin to keep the world out

Or our bodies in?

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home

Don't tear apart the town then sleep

And sleep alone.

This doesn't look like home

This doesn't look like home
