It Looked Like Fire - Cole Forrestal

There's a calm before every storm begins
No matter the ending
There's a hush before alarm bells start to ring
While the signal is sending
There's a subtle truth in the lies designed to mend
A thousand broken spirits
If we make it out alive enough to live
Will we ever recover?

I look back to all those times that I
Looked a gift horse in the eyes
And decided
I knew better
But I know better now

Sound the alarm
We've got another man down, boatswain
If you've got any sense left among you
Than you'll run
Looking through the thick flames
Of a thousand planes
Trying so hard to forget
How we even got here
In this atmosphere of shame

It's too late to turn around now
We're in it too deep, you see
And we are much too proud
To waver in open sea
We're sinking
It's not working
There's no life boats at the ready
We've awoken
From a deep sleep
To find our homes are not our own
My home's not my own

Sound the alarm
We've got another man down, boatswain
If you've got any sense left among you
Than you'll run
Looking through the thick flames
Of a thousand planes
Trying so hard to forget
How we even got here
In this atmosphere of shame

This is not my home
Don't wanna deal with it
These are not my bones
I'll just go down with it
If you can't sink or swim
You'll float alone
Forever and ever and ever and never again

Sound the alarm
We've got another man down, boatswain
If you've got any sense left among you
Than you'll run
Looking through the thick flames
Of a thousand planes
Trying so hard to forget
How we even got here
In this atmosphere of shame
