Protest The Hero - Animal Bones lyrics

Why do you torture me so?
You sit across the table
With both eyes closed
You speak in myth and fable
And stand unopposed
The animal bones reveal themselves from
Deep within your mane
They reach for ethereal light
The ancient spears rise from her
Shoulders and riddle your frame
Marking the first time it was done right

And that’s not all that haunts me -
The death by fire of a child
Who wait's so patiently and we are the ones
Who set the standard by which
We are to be measured measured, measured!
Some things can never walk
Again cause sometimes a step is all too vile
The path of five innocent men who are
Only capable of walking one last mile

If I could live another day over again
I’d choose not to
The successes and failures of
Days passed are constant
The horizon promises days ahead
If you won’t quit, then I won’t

And this I swear to you tonight
Upon these former embers
You fanned until they were fire

We are nothing without the thousands of
Voices that make the choir
Nothing without the thousands of voices
That make the choir
We are, we are, we are still life
(We are, we are, we are still life)
We are, we are, we are still life

Begging and pleading, not dying
But bleeding out (Still life, still life)
Begging and pleading, not dying
But bleeding out (Still life, still life)
Oh, the chemical reaction, the chemical
Oh, the chemical reaction

When the walls fell, with arms wide
