"In Pieces" lyrics

I've seen some savages, been around those passages
I believed in the ever-changing scene we left behind
Like a tear for the ones we miss, stick around for the obvious
Saving lies till the bitter end, no antidote or opposition
You waste your time, so close to the fall

Nobody breaks you, no one to calm you down
You reach and fail, collapse with the tide
Still betrayed by ambition, devastated by pride
And you're in pieces, nobody's gonna help you now
They've breached your defenses and they're dragging you down
The pain increases, who's left to sort you out?
The cost is the same, but it's born of deception

They pitch to hold on tight but the timing's never right
What's a year to a lost endeavor as the days wear on?
No prayers or penitence for your lost innocence
I've said it makes no sense and by design
We stumble toward the end, the fire with arms to the sky

Nobody breaks you, no one to calm you down
You reach and fail, collapse with the tide
Still betrayed by ambition, devastated by pride
And you're in pieces, nobody's gonna help you now
They've breached your defenses and they're dragging you down
The pain increases, who's left to sort you out?
The cost is the same, but it's born of deception

To cut a path in a new direction
To leave the others wanting more
Infected by the atmosphere
Scars fade into gray
Intoxicated by a sense of fear
Navigating to an empty space
Destroy and obfuscate
Subjugated by a stranger's face
