The Last Lost Continent

La Dispute

I felt your sickness brush against my arm as I walked by you,
Heard your voice but couldn't tell that it was you.
And slowly watched your sickness slip away
Into a place that I'd once feared,
But I was not afraid this time.
So I gave chase and found it finally,
Slowly feeding from your head.
And from my friends and from my family,
So I grabbed it by the neck.
"For every lover you have ruined..."
I dug my nails into its flesh,
"And every life that you have taken..."
Slammed it's head against the brick.
It's blood poured out onto the pavement,
I stirred it in with dirt and spit.
"I will take a part of you.",
I made mortar from the mix.
Tore every organ from its body,
Broke it's bone and fashioned bricks,
I laid the mortar in between.
I made a throne for hope to sit.
"Too long you've torn us into pieces,
Firmly held onto our wrists.
Today I buried you in me"
I swallowed every inch of it.

I'll hold you as you have held me
You've held me in your heart
We'll be, we'll be set free from
We'll be set free from fear
We'll be set free
We've felt our failures
We've watched our passions leave
But we're still breathing on
We're still breathing on
I'll hold you as you have held me
You've held me in your heart
And I will hold you in my heart

But I still see him dead in the parking lot
At the gas station just down the street
And I still hear my friend say
"You know, you wouldn't believe the things I saw when I was stationed overseas"
But he somehow keeps smiling in spite of all of that,
While I keep finding ways to push the good out for the bad.
Oh, how selfish of myself
To always say that it was more than I could take,
Like it was pain I couldn't shake,
Like it could break me with its fingers,
Throw my body in the lake and I would slowly sink away.
But the truth is, it was sorrow that I made and wouldn't face.
See, I keep falling for the future after tripping on the past
And I am always tearing sutures out to make the anguish last
Like it defines me or reminds me
I've found comfort in my suffering
And uncertainty in happiness and death
Because what's next is such a mystery to me,
And I am terrified of all the things I feel but cannot see.
Friends and family,
Put your hand into my hand and lay your head into my chest,
You are all that I have left here.
We are all that we have left.

We are the lovers
We are the last of our kind
So link your arms and keep your chin up
And I swear that we'll be fine
We are the lovers
We are the last of our kind

Though we are not sure who we are
We keep our heads up
Though we are not sure where we're from
We keep our hearts up
Though we are not sure when we'll leave
We keep our heads up
Though we are not sure where we'll go
We keep our hopes up
Though we're not sure who we are
We keep our heads up
Though we're not sure where we're from
We keep our hearts up
Though we're not sure when we'll leave
We keep our heads up
Though we're not sure where we'll go
We keep our hopes up

Keep your head up
We're fine
Just keep your head up
I swear we'll be alright
Keep your head up
My friends, my friends
Keep your head up, I swear
I swear we'll never die
I swear we'll get home safe and sound
I swear
I swear we'll never die
I swear we'll live on underground
I swear

I will give your heart a place to rest
When everything you had has turned and left.

I'll weave your names into my ribcage,
Lock your hearts inside my chest.
Regain the passion I once carried,
Do away with all the rest.
I tore the sickness from your bodies,
Smashed its head against the bricks.
I made a castle from its bones,
That you may always dwell in it.
So sing for every buried moment,
That you thought would never end.
And sing your fears about the future
And a dirge for faded friends.
For all the love that you had held to,
Why it somehow failed to keep.
And sing for each minute you've been frightened,
Every hour you've lost sleep.
And sing for all your friends and family,
Sing for those who didn't survive.
But sing not for their final outcome,
Sing a song of how they tried.
We live amidst a silent storm,
Leaves us unsatisfied at best.
So fill your heart with what's important
And be done with all the rest.
We are what's left of what we once were,
We are falling far behind.
There's so much stacking up against us
And we're running out of time.
We are but hopeful children
And we're the last of our kind.
But if we let our hearts move outward
I know we will never...

We are but friends and family,
We are the last of our kind.
So hold my hand, I'll lift your head up
And I promise we'll be fine.
We are but hopeful lovers
And we are running out of time.
There's so much stacking up against us
And we're falling far behind.
We are but hopeful lovers,
We are the last of our kind.
But if we let our hearts move outward,
I know we will never...
We are but lovers,
We are the last of our kind.
And if we let our hearts move outward,
I know we will never...
We are but lovers,
We are the last of our kind.
And if we let our hearts move outward
We will never die.
