Lyrics Every Time I Die – Map Change

Text:

Am I the only one that saw the sun burn out?
The locusts keep their rhythm. My watch has broken down.
I wake up and take on water, sink to the peak of despair.
What I need is a cigarette. No more prayers.

The planets unaligned.
We are saints without a shrine.

A storm comes and the city’s abandoned.
The ship is going down with the captain.
Oh-oh oh-oh.
A storm comes and the city’s abandoned.
The ship is going down with the captain.
Oh-oh oh-oh.

I am the man that sank Atlantis.
I am the man that sank Atlantis.
I am the man that sank Atlantis.
The bottom is not the lowest we get.

Further down still the dark’s absolute.
And further down than that, it’s only me and you.

I assure you that hell is not a myth.
We both vacation there.
Hell is not a myth.
We spend each winter there. No one can prepare.

A storm comes and the city’s abandoned.
The ship is going down with the captain.
Oh-oh oh-oh.
A storm comes and the city’s abandoned.
The ship is going down with the captain.
Oh-oh oh-oh.

I am the man that sank Atlantis.
I am the man that sank Atlantis.

I am the man that sank Atlantis.
The bottom is not the lowest we get.
I thought I knew the best part of the secret,
I thought I knew the best part of the secret,
I thought I knew the best part of the secret:
The truth is the thing we forget.

The glory I had witnessed was just a sleight of hand.
These hearts cannot be salvaged, these bones cannot withstand.
I have either been forgotten or I was never seen.
Now I’m in the negative space between.

I’ve weighed down the earth,
Through the stars to the pavement.
I’ve weighed down the earth.
No use trying to save it.
I’ve weighed down the earth,
Through the stars to the pavement.
I’ve weighed down the earth.
Not sure I can take it.

I’ve fallen out of frame.
A strangled, distant flame.

Clenched in the jaws of anguish are only godless men.
Chaos is drawn to silence like life is drawn to death.
The dusk is so much clearer than the dawn had ever been.
I’m a ghost, I’m a ghost, and yet

I’ve weighed down the earth.
Through the stars to the pavement.
I’ve weighed down the earth.
No use trying to save it.
I’ve weighed down the earth.
Through the stars to the pavement.
I’ve weighed down the earth.
No use trying to save it.
