New Frontier

Here I am on the new frontier
Turning my collar to the wind
White horizons across the desert
That's all the new world has ever been

Close your eyes, whisper "this is what I wanted"
Close your eyes, cause it's what you waited for
They say "it only gets better" or "it only gets worse"
But I can't feel anything and still it all hurts
And am I finally losing you cause I think I lost myself

Shine your light, break the silence, lead me out of here
Cause if I die before I wake I'll just be dying alone
Cut me open, break these bones, tear out this heart, carry it with you through the dark
Cause I'm on my own and the new frontier's so cold

Remember what we said when we were younger?
We'd find a place to build our home
Well here at night when the wolves come out, they take their place and they tie you down
And if you don't survive they let you go

Close your eyes, tell yourself "we've all got each other"
Close your eyes, tell yourself it's worth the price
Then they lock their doors and the lights turn off
So you tell your stories and you build your gods
And the night caves in and you wonder when the body next to you got so cold

Shine your light, break the silence, lead me out of here
Cause if I die before I wake I'll just be dying alone
Cut me open, break these bones, tear out this heart, carry me with you through the dark
Cause I'm on my own and the new frontier's so cold

I keep hearing the voices in the night
They tell me I'm running out of time
They tell me to just wake up, to just walk out and feed their appetite

Cause all of these people aren't your friends
So wait for the sun and just pretend
That the struggle is over now, when the sun goes down we'll fight this war again

Shine your light, break the silence, lead me out of here
Cause if I die before I wake I'll just be dying alone
Cut me open, break these bones, tear out this heart, carry me with you through the dark
Cause I'm on my own
And I don't think I'll live to call this home
