"The Lesser Evil" lyrics
(feat. Larry Braggs & Sam Gendel)
I saw a face on a blank stage
It said nothing but what I ever heard
Is it now so easy to settle up?
They all know
Come back soon
It was inevitable
That I would lose my way
I'm still straining to say that within our veins
In time oh it looms
What can I do?
How will I live on?
(Reeling me so out of mind)
Sunsetting, new hostility
Right where you stand
Bear down and...
I realize I'm at the fault of the edge
And you confuse your words
Your reflection is a guise I've been dying to rake away
I said wait-
I'm not where I belong by now
And if you turn my way
I'm still reaching for better lies
Will nothing veil all I'll lose?
What can I do?
How will I live on?
(Reeling me so out of mind)
Sunsetting on a new hostility (in me)
Right where you stand
Bear down and...
I fail to see
Your divinity on these lines
Once again, you prophesize
You cry me a river
To drown in your river while you wait
For the switch to turn the light
I feel as your venom now
Deceived and all alone
You bare your teeth and light your face
Gaunt in this cold
I'm left to lose this world
I never knew it was so
Drifting away to feeling near
Dare I live in this state?
Are we left to fade (under)?
Are we meant for nothing to mend our ties?
Edify
Are we left to fade (under)
With no reason to better the heartless narrow?
Edify
All those who burn by it
All they know
Reawake the sun isn't I
Will it last like you never?
Dream for your infinite
All that faith is lost
Were you waiting for us to believe?
Say the word, I'll be in your mind
When it dies and they render
Dream for your infinite
All that faith is lost
Dare to speak my name
Dare I live
Thievious and right, now
You pretend to us
Thievious and right, now
If we fade out the white noise
Long enough to hear
The ringing in our ears
Then we know
Then we know, then we all know
And we know
In the end what keeps us awake
And we know
It's decided
You feel it either way
Hell piercing through my heart
Tearing might away
Are we left to fade (under)?
Are we meant for nothing to mend our ties?
Edify
Are we left to fade (under)
With no reason to better the heartless narrow?
Edify
All those who burn by it
All they know
You like to think you spare no evil
It said nothing but what I ever heard
Is it now so easy to settle up?
They all know
Come back soon
It was inevitable
That I would lose my way
I'm still straining to say that within our veins
In time oh it looms
What can I do?
How will I live on?
(Reeling me so out of mind)
Sunsetting, new hostility
Right where you stand
Bear down and...
I realize I'm at the fault of the edge
And you confuse your words
Your reflection is a guise I've been dying to rake away
I said wait-
I'm not where I belong by now
And if you turn my way
I'm still reaching for better lies
Will nothing veil all I'll lose?
What can I do?
How will I live on?

Sunsetting on a new hostility (in me)
