wishing wells

Parkway Drive

I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play
IÂ?ve dug a shallow hole for him to sleep
But I swear he just wonÂ?t answer me
I call on out is he afraid, IÂ?ll bury him down with the ones he keeps
And if the devilÂ?s listening, IÂ?ll come for him as well
If I suspect he had a hand to play
And if I see his face in town, thereÂ?s room for two down underground
NothingÂ?s gonna stop me Â?til IÂ?m done
Until IÂ?m done
Because tonight IÂ?m killing gods
ItÂ?s guilt and frustration, itÂ?s everything between
The silence and the absence hitting home
Peripheral glances and the chasing of a sound
I never knew IÂ?d miss until itÂ?s gone
So ask me how IÂ?m coping
And IÂ?ll smile and tell you Â?IÂ?m just fineÂ?
While down inside IÂ?m drowning in the fucking rain
Because when everything is empty
And your heart is set to cave
Sometimes all you wish for is a place
Is a place to place the blame
Burn your heaven
Flood your hell
Drown you in your wishing wells
Burn your heaven
Flood your hell
Damn you all
Because tonight IÂ?m killing gods
The incendiary shock wave, scorched earth policy
The devastation that only loss will leave
The chants and incantations of daily rituals
A subtle lapse in brutal honesty
So ask me how IÂ?m coping
And IÂ?ll smile and tell you Â?IÂ?m just fineÂ?
While down inside IÂ?m screaming Â?tii I fucking bleed
Because when everyoneÂ?s expendable
And your heart canÂ?t take the wait
The last thing that you wish for is the face
Is the face to face the pain
Burn your heaven
Flood your hell
Drown you in your wishing wells
Burn your heaven
Flood your hell
Damn you all
Because tonight IÂ?m killing gods
I spoke a vow today and asked if god would come and play
Because I just want to cut that fucker down
Face me
None survive
The devil and god have died inside me
