Orphan Earth

STUDIO

[intro] [Verse] Look at the horizon, it’s a graveyard of dreams Where the sky bleeds copper and the silence screams They promised us a kingdom if we played by the rules But the throne is just a furnace for a million fools We’re digging through the wreckage of a lie they sold Trading pieces of our spirit for a plate of cold No cavalry is charging through the toxic haze Just the reflections of a promise in a mental maze [Pre Chorus] The sky is empty and the ground is cold You’re buying stories that were never told [Chorus] Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re drowning in the weight of this empty air Look to the sky but there’s nobody there They left us with a debt that we can’t repair Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re caught inside a trap and a jagged snare Look to the sky but there’s nobody there Breathing in the ash of a final prayer [Instrumental glitchy dubstep beat] [Verse] Growing up was a heist, yeah, they stole the light Left us holding empty hands in the middle of the night "Wait for the signal," "Wait for the sign," While the gears overhead start to realign We never learned to build, only learned to hide Swallowing the poison of a hollow pride The engine is hungry and it’s coming for blood Dragging every legacy through the oil and mud [Pre Chorus] The sky is empty and the ground is cold You’re buying stories that were never told [Chorus] Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re drowning in the weight of this empty air Look to the sky but there’s nobody there They left us with a debt that we can’t repair Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re caught inside a trap and a jagged snare Look to the sky but there’s nobody there Breathing in the ash of a final prayer [Instrumental Dubstep Bassdrop] [Bridge] No one’s coming down, no one’s reaching out Just a world full of ghosts and a heavy doubt The "better way" died on a drawing board Now we’re living on the edge of a rusted sword [Pre Chorus] The sky is empty and the ground is cold You’re buying stories that were never told [Chorus] Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re drowning in the weight of this empty air Look to the sky but there’s nobody there They left us with a debt that we can’t repair Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re caught inside a trap and a jagged snare Look to the sky but there’s nobody there Breathing in the ash of a final prayer [Pre Chorus] The sky is empty and the ground is cold You’re buying stories that were never told [Chorus] Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re drowning in the weight of this empty air Look to the sky but there’s nobody there They left us with a debt that we can’t repair Look to the sky but there’s nobody there We’re caught inside a trap and a jagged snare Look to the sky but there’s nobody there Breathing in the ash of a final prayer
