v1

Pressure, heat, and time
Temper an intemperate mind
Push into form, imprinted with grooves

See it happen, day by day
Losing figure, taking shape

(Form to fit to seal to close to fill the space to plug the hole)
(To bridge the gap to lock it tight to cork the neck to stop the flow)
No man is an island, he's a hardened brick of clay that's been
turned into a soldier, and made to stand his ground

Fit To Form

"Say Goodbye"

[Verse]
From the silence blew a whisper
flying doors and broken words
tempest evolving all around us
echoes from the past

Lost our names in the withholding 
and in grace we held our burdened breaths
as its power grew strongly
we no longer had a place

[Pre-Chorus]
On Air we fly
our fragile fights
goodbye
say goodbye

We're gusts of sand
our hollow hearts
hold tight
in our hands

[Chorus]
Feel me in the threads of the wind
as we arise, there I'll
let my own chest be your rest
while we arise
just this time

Forget all that is past
take my wings
as your salve, this time

The air will consume
Or let us breath
I'll be your breath
l'll be your Air

[Verse] (Spoken word)
We're like withered leafs carried by the wind
In that air we danced
the same air that brought us life
also brought us dread and fear
the same air that lets our past be meaningless for just a moment
moved us away, drove us through the sea
brought us to the Sahara and back
An Air strong as a storm and soft as a whisper.
And for that same air
We breath.

[Pre-Chorus]
On Air we fly
our fragile fights
goodbye
say goodbye

We're gusts of sand
our hollow hearts
hold tight
in our hands

[Chorus]
Feel me in the threads of the wind
as we arise, there I'll
let my own chest be your rest
while we arise
just this time

Forget all that is past
take my wings
as your salve, this time

The air will consume
Or let us breath
I'll be your breath
l'll be your Air

"Until The World Burns"

Say Goodbye

Lyrics 
[Verse 1]
I tell you that I refuse
And I black out from the impact
You make it so you can't lose
When I'm choked up and can't fight back
The scars you give me are revealing
The truth that I can't take these beatings
And you're always still lying
while I'm trying and I'm rattled
There's so much more than kneecaps 
and torn shoulders in this battle
It must be nice that I keep needing
I let you in but I'm receding

It's gone on way too long now
And it's fucked up, but I'm stalling
I feel it every day now
There's no leaving when you're calling
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading like you do

[Verse 2]
I tell you turns the lights on
You should see just who you're hurting
I close my eyes to pretend
what you're doing's not unnerving
You're trying hard and that's what matters
It's been a war and I'm so battered

You claim this shit's so easy
But I don't know how it happened
All that's left's been worn out, bruises run down
Oh I'm damaged
It feels out of my hands now
And I don't know how to change it
And I don't know how to hate it, no

[Chorus]
Give me the blame
It's all one with the abuse, my life's receding 
Mournful on my knees for you
You take till I give in, you got me bleeding till I'm blue
So misleading 

[Verse 3]
If your gifts of love are my injuries
And you don't feel nothing when you look at me
Tell me why you're making me pay
It doesn't feel right but I'll be okay
If you want to keep taking my breath away
Let me see your eyes before I fade away
If love's got no limits like you say
It's okay to show me pain
It's okay to show me

Say Goodbye
