Religion Of Speed

I can't continue on without a sign
 One wing to haul the weight of only one third of an eye
 The voice I'm leaning into has been thrown
 When all the meat is stripped away I'm chewing on the bone
 I'm condemned until the moment I forget
 That I haven't learned a goddamn thing yet
 My soul is sticking out, like a talon through a shell
 You can wait until the rapture I will hightail it to Hell
 Water everywhere but no water fit to drink
 I've got endless proof and I don't know what to think
 Nothing but time, not a minute left to spare
 Gallons of fuel I can't get anywhere
 When all I am is a stone that says
 The name I had and the years that I had been
 The quiet depths and the measured steps
 Won't echo like the shriek of riot did
 Sever the anchor you drag or be frozen at the stake
 Choke down all the prey in your path before you become the prey
 No one likes a company man, nothing but a snake
 Nothing but a snake
 Look at my war it's the prettiest thing alive
 I traded it for sanity now all you see is mine
 Open the throttle, feel the thunder in the sails
 Pick up the scent of fear and follow the trail
 When all I am is a stone that says
 The name I had and the years that I had been
 The quiet depths and the measured steps
 Won't echo like the shriek of riot did
 I can't move the dredge without heat
 Stillwater of a puddle and the ocean never meet
 I've wandered off a path into a storm
 A trance into a fury, a mantra for a sword
 Doomed until I recall
 How to fire up an engine that has stalled
 I would trade what I have lost for the things that I have left
 Some clarity just to see darkness best?
 My flower in your barrel hasn't stopped the slaughter yet
 So spent, we can't be saved
 We lost sleep but we found our way
 Sharpen your axe against the road
 Don't hold out hope
 Such courage pulls us down
 We ride on
 Such courage pulls us down
 We ride on
 Our songs refuse a grave
 These beating hearts make violent waves
 Push the pedal right through the floor
 Want so much more
 When all I am is a stone that says
 The name I had and the years that I had been
 The quiet depths and the measured steps
 Won't echo like the shriek of riot did
