Rocket red glare stands accused and pushes the fatal shot every closer to a broken two.
Wasted by time and thrown face first into a bloody trail left by knives cut out and habits started, while misery drags the broken hearted behind fragile hours.
What more than a time led existence?
Self destruct before daylight, wake up dead from spite.
My hands too tired to change what can be, too forgetful to feel what was once seen.
I never forgave your silence.
Sometimes we fail to need and slipping past grief is easier than making myself bleed.
Show me how to feel for you.

What more than a time led existence?
Self destruct before daylight, wake up dead from spite.
My hands too tired to change what can be, too forgetful to feel what was once seen.
I never forgave your silence.
Sometimes we fail to need and slipping past grief is easier than making myself bleed.
Show me how to feel for you.

I tried my best, but alas, I could not get some of the words. Don't beat me up over it.
[?]#2 is need, [?]#3 is grief
I edited it because I listened to the beginning more closely. Any help is welcome.
it's "wake up dead from spite", not "wake up death from spite".
"rockets red glare, set in hues that pushes the fatal shot"
"rockets red glare, set in hues that pushes the fatal shot"
I can't find an edit button or anything of the sort, so here are the lyrics directly off of the albums little slider thing.

Hey, sorry for the delay...it only took me a year and a half to edit this. Better late than never, I guess!

The lyrics I originally submitted were actually based on the rough studio demo Hot Cross released about a year before Risk Revival came out (they released Existence and Rejoinder, I believe). Some of the words changed in the final version (the lyrics you provided), but others were just me being off with my hearing. I believe "knives" was originally "guns" and "slipping" was DEFINITELY "tripping" at first. Regardless though, I very much appreciate your corrections....

It's a bit hard to believe that so much time has passed since I submitted these lyrics initially...Hell, I was 16. Time flies and it's these little things that keep bringing us back.
