Aviators Outside
[Verse 1]
It is my own home's affliction
Behind bars within a cage
I've been marked the plague's possession
And I've been locked in for days
There's a ruckus in the streets
Those I begged to stay inside
Soon the noise gives way to silence
For a moonlit lullaby
Oh my mind, oh my mind
Thoughts are fleeting all the time
I feel bones begin to splinter
As my fever starts to climb
Who's to blame, who's to blame
For the blood that wrought this shame
Now my ears have started ringing
To a symphony of pain
[Chorus]
My blood's contagion
Brings transformation
And all I want before the doom
Is to see the streets outside this room
Don't leave me waiting
My lantern's fading
And I won't be awake to see
The monster that becomes of me
Let me see the sky one last time
Come home and take me outside
[Verse 2]
The new beast is isolation
When I'm haunting my own home
I feel walls are closing inward
And my soul leaves me alone
Here I struggle in the darkness
To remember my own name
I've caught glimpses through the window
That the world is not the same
Flesh and bone, hunger's grown
Cries become an endless drone
I fear soon I'll be the hunted
Like the multitudes below
Someone's there, someone's there
Night is coming and I'm scared
Starving wolves outside are howling
And I join them in their prayer
[Chorus]
My blood's contagion
Brings transformation
And all I want before the doom
Is to see the streets outside this room
Don't leave me waiting
My lantern's fading
And I won't be awake to see
The monster that becomes of me
Let me see the sky one last time
Come home and take me outside
[Instrumental / Vocalizing]
[Bridge]
Dark signs flashing in my
Cold mind, succumbing now with
No time left to cure the pain
Pale and clawing blindly
Life still clinging tightly
But my own blood has been claimed
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
My blood's contagion
Brings transformation
And all I want before the doom
Is to see the streets outside this room
Don't leave me waiting
My lantern's fading
And I won't be awake to see
The monster that becomes of me
My blood's contagion
Brings transformation
And all I want before the doom
Is to see the streets outside this room
Don't leave me waiting
My lantern's fading
And I won't be awake to see
The monster that becomes of me
[Outro]
Let me see the sky one last time
(Let me see the sky one last time)
Let me see the sky one last time
(Let me see the sky one last time)
Let me see the sky one last time
Come home and take me outside
