Anberlin - Lowborn Album Lyrics

We Are Destroyer

We're creatures of indecision, easily undone,
Caught inside collisions under a dying sun.
Take our time for granted, entitled in this life.
Entertain us now, we're owed everything in sight.

Give us what we want,
What we don't want to earn
Give us what we think we need
But we don't wanna learn

In just a matter of minutes,
just a matter of time,
we could lose it all, we could lose it all.
If all we are is just what we've earned,
We are the destroyers.
Stop and take it in,
think it through now.
Tread light on our future.
If all we are is just what we've earned,
We are the destroyers.

We seek tomorrow's sun
It's all for the taking here.
Only the valiant survive,
live for better years.
Shut up and actually try
No one can help us now
It's us against the tides,
and will be 'til we die.

No one gives you what you want
Don't get what you don't earn
Can't have what you need,
only what you deserve.

In just a matter of minutes,
just a matter of time,
we could lose it all, we could lose it all.
If all we are is just what we've earned,
We are the destroyers.
Stop and take it in,
think it through now.
Tread light on our future.
If all we are is just what we've earned,
We are the destroyers.

Armageddon

I can learn like nobody else
Trust me now,
I can find a way to bleed
I can find a way

I feel pain like nobody has
Don't trust me now,
I can find a way to leave
I try to find my escape

And even now can you tell what's real?
Cause losses starts to take
What our sin wants, what our sin wants

I can learn like nobody else
Trust me now I can find a way to bleed
I can find a way
Because I found my own way to a personal hell,
A personal hell

I've started my, my own Armageddon
I started my Armageddon
No one else to blame for this world war three [x2]
I've built this city to bring it to its knees

I've faced my mistakes
the price that will pay
I've started my, I've am my own
Armageddon

I've started my, my own Armageddon
I started my, I started my
No one else to blame for this world war three [x2]
I've built this city to bring it to its knees

I've started my, I am my own
Armageddon

Stranger Ways

Locking eyes the waning glance, mistook chance
Inviting meaning to the words forever
Broken silence, defiance, misspoke turn
Will I see you again if ever?

Come on and leave me here, I'm a vagabond though
Wandering the night alone
Right now you're over there in the social club state
Pondering the wine, while we elope

A little bit closer to finding the real you
A little bit closer to finding the truth
Stranger things have happened
Stronger men have answered

A little bit closer to loving you

Yet defying I'm lying if I didn't tell you
You keep me up late at night
Is it all I ever call your lover even though we don't know each other
And probably never will

Would you stay with me, here in my dreams?
If I promised you this heaven
Would you take a chance on a make believe dance?
Close my eyes and we're together

A little bit closer to finding the real you
A little bit closer to finding the truth
Stranger things have happened
Stronger men have answered

A little bit closer to finding the real you
A little bit closer to finding the truth
Stranger things have happened
Stronger men have answered

A little bit closer to loving you
A little bit closer to holding you
A little bit closer to knowing you
A little bit closer to touching you

Velvet Covered Brick

Cyclical, stuck inside a never ending rhyme
But you're comfortable, just another decomposing alibis
Sing yourself to sleep, count the days gone by
But outside of your walls passes real life
So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick
Here's your chance to live, but I heard you say....

"We're heading nowhere
It's not close to them
Even horizons can fade
Hope says she's never a saint
they're all waiting on a prayer
If we're heading nowhere"

Turbulence, am I causing you to think outside a cell for once
Just feel comfortable, dissolving years like no one else before
And I said, lead to where you are, lead your way through this
But fear and fail has made you its captive, it's passive
So here's a velvet covered brick, death comes to us all too quick
Here's your chance to love, but I heard you scream!

"We're heading nowhere
It's not close to them
Even horizons can fade
Hope says she's never a saint
they're all waiting on a prayer
If we're heading nowhere"

Atonement

I've seen faces I may never see again
I've been places I never could have dreamt
I've touched hands with those who touched me
Seen the marks, the skeleton keys

I found peace in a foreign atonement
I lost myself in tides of a moment
But nothing compares

Don't want to be here, don't want to be here without you
I need to know you, I need to know you believe in me
What's it worth if what it's worth alone? (Somebody tell me now)
And what's the point if all the points we know? (Somebody show me how)

I've loved where I've been
Yes, I've loved where I've been
But my heart's where I'm going

Don't want to be here, don't want to be here without you (I don't want to go alone)
I need to know you, I need to know you believe in me (I don't want to go alone)

I lost myself in tides of a moment
But my heart's where I'm going

Don't want to be here, don't want to be here without you (I don't want to go alone)
I need to know you, I need to know you believe in me (I don't want to go alone)

I don't want to go alone
I don't want to do this all on my own
(I don't want to go alone, I don't want to go alone)
We can ride into the sun
Together we can take it, we're right with you inside
(I don't want to go alone, I don't want to go alone)

Birds Of Prey

Stuttering machine
Iron moving fast
You wanna go back in time
Try to change the past

Answers in the math
Science on your side
What's the worst that could happen
When two worlds collide

And it all is the same
And it all is the same

Memories circle like birds of prey
Waiting for the right mind to drive insane
Don't look back there's nothing to see
Regret is nothing more than a lovers disease

And it all is the same
Cause it all is the same

Why even play those games
What's the point to entertain
All the best mistakes
Will always have last names

And it all is the same
Yes it all is the same

Memories circle like birds of prey
Waiting for the right mind to drive insane
Don't look back there's nothing to see
Regret is nothing more than a reoccurring disease

I just think of places
Your thoughts that dance on stage
Curtains they are closing
On a role you can't sustain

And it all looks the same
And it all looks the same

Memories circle like birds of prey
Waiting for the right mind to drive insane
Don't look back there's nothing to see
Regret is nothing more than...than a disease

Cause it all looks the same

Hold on to the light
(And it all looks the same)
Let go of the dark

Hold on to the light
(And it all looks the same)
Let go of the dark

Dissenter

Pioneers will get the arrows
But you know now, that's where you'll find me
Won't stop striving, can't stop working
You know I'll be known at the gates

I can't clothe your back forever
I'm dissenter from you socialists
How can you say "non-believer"
When the sand runs from your fingers

Whoa! Yeah! Now!
Bring it all to me!
Yeah! Now!
Bring your soul to me!

It's the lingo; leave no witness
Your confusion cripples me
Drink it in now, live the moment
You are children in a land of men
Lived the life, but now it's over
All you have is yesterday
There's no ties now, there's no binding
Try as you might, you can't hold me back anymore!

Yeah! Now!
Bring it on to me!
Yeah! Now!
Bring your soul to me!
Yeah! Now!
Come and get me out!
Yeah! Now!
Bring your soul to me!

For so long, I've dreamt of this
Could it console me now?
I'd stay awake and dream
Replay every word you said to me
For so long, I've waited for this
And now it's finally here

Whoa! Yeah! Now!
Bring it all to me!
Yeah! Now!
Bring your soul to me!
Yeah! Now!
Come and get me out!
Yeah! Now!
Bring your soul to me!

Losing It All

Not sure what tomorrow brings
Not sure why a caged bird sings
Don't ask cause I don't know
No idea just where to go
High hopes and higher dreams
May not have everything
I promise to be good
I'll be good for you
Hard work and harder times
As long as you say you are mine
We'll see the other side together

It's not losing it all, if we have each other
In the end it's all, in the end it's all that matters
If we take this chance, and it falls to pieces
In the end you're all, in the end you're all that matters

My my, oh no
Don't have much money to show
Don't care, don't cry
Wipe that mascara from your eyes
I know you'll see
We just got to believe
In you, in me
We make our own destiny

It's not losing it all, if we have each other
In the end it's all, in the end it's all that matters
If we take this chance, and it falls to pieces
In the end you're all, in the end you're all that matters

How could I say goodbye?
We've come too far to turn back now
Who are we without each other?
Too entwined to untangle now

It's not losing it all, if we have each other
In the end it's all, in the end it's all that matters
If we take this chance, and it falls to pieces
In the end you're all, in the end you're all that matters

How could I say goodbye?
We've come too far to turn back now
Who are we without each other?
Too entwined to untangle now

Hearing Voices

I feel lost, conflicting thoughts course through
Clarity, she's gone, don't know a thing I thought I knew

Everyone wants to see Heaven
But no one wants to say goodbye
Everyone wants to see Heaven
But no one wants to die

Can't escape this feeling (fears are born inside)
Can't escape this feeling (how can I deny?)

I hear voices (voices) in my head
The choices (choices) I can't contend
I hear voices (voices) and they all know your name
They all know your name

Trapped inside a cell that I built myself
Failed so very beating, cold, dark, and lost

Everyone wants to know God
But they're afraid of what they'll find
Everyone wants to know God
But they want to live like he died

Can't escape this feeling (fears are born inside)
Can't escape this feeling (how can I deny?)

I hear voices (voices) in my head
The choices (choices) I can't contend
I hear voices (voices) and they all know your name
They all know your name

I built it all, I built it all around
I heard it call, it doesn't make a sound
Was in my hand and now I see believe
I hear you left, I know you're here with me

Can't escape this feeling (fears are born inside)
When this feelings moves you (how can I deny?)

I hear voices (voices) in my head
Can't stand a ghost when the ghost's not dead
I hear voices (voices) and they all know your name
They all know your name

I hear voices (voices) in my head
The choices (choices) I can't contend
I hear voices (voices) and they all know your name
They all know your name

Harbinger

Comes a time in everyone's life
We're paid to feel free
Fall asleep now, calming leaders
Be who you want to be

We'll live forever, forever, forever
We'll come together, together, together
We'll live forever, forever, forever
(I don't wanna go now, but I know I've got to)
We'll come together, together, together (for you to remember me)
(In this light)

So many changes, taking places
We need to walk away
With all these reasons, time and seasons
We need who we would bleed for

We'll live forever, forever, forever
We'll come together, together, together
We'll live forever, forever, forever
(I don't wanna go now, but I know I've got to)
We'll come together, together, together (for you to remember me)
(In this light)

Love's pressure is just kisses
And what's last's to come and
Look back with a lighter soul
Harbor motion into the great unknown

We'll live together, forever, forever (forever)
We'll live together, together, forever (forever)
We'll live forever, forever, forever
(I don't wanna go now, but I've got to for you to remember me)
We'll come together, together, together (for you to remember me)

We'll live together, forever, forever
We'll live together, together, forever
We'll live forever, forever, forever
(I don't wanna go now, but I've got to for you to remember me)
We'll come together, together, together (for you to remember me)
(In this light)
