VEXES

Away Stars

VEXES


Below the swine
The worm, the dust
A place of rest
It gains the worst of us

Pulled from the ground
Magnetic
It’s like a weight we lift

Sound off the cadence
And don’t say a word
Stay awake
We’re not sleeping in the dirt
We fall away
I’ll meet you on the other side
So disconnect
And sing our song of discontent
I’ll meet you on the other side
So stay

A damaged smile
The slight decay
It’s so familiar
Alkaline in every trace

The words that once kept us here
There’s always space to fill
And we’re the leech that drains the blood
Without you

Stay awake
We’re not sleeping in the dirt
We fall away
I’ll meet you on the other side
So disconnect
And sing our song of discontent
I’ll meet you on the other side so stay

Stay awake for me
Stay awake for me

Stay awake
We’re not sleeping in the dirt
We fall away
I’ll meet you on the other side
So disconnect
And sing our song of discontent
I’ll meet you on the other side so stay
