Vital Signs (demo) Lyrics

This building is barely standing on its own foundation, on its own foundation.
I've collapsed its lungs, calloused its heart
and sucked the life out of this for all of Sunday to see, for all of Sunday to see.
(x2)
I've taken the breath out of everything they believe, everything they hold true, everything they hold true.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point, no one sees my effort.
No one gets the point.
Welcome to my dying home.
Welcome inside these crumbling walls.
A meaningless handshake greets them all with smiles of false hope.
Welcome to my dying home.
Welcome inside these crumbling walls.
Do I even care as I watch a sea of people dwindling into an audience of skin and bones.
An audience who doesn't have the strength to walk out
on a man who has tarnished their faith?
Out of everything they believe, they believe.
I've taken the breath out of everything they stand for.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one sees my effort.
Preaching to the deaf and blind, no one gets the point
(Oh boy. As you can tell this song went through some drastic changes.
I can remember tracking it and listening to it every waking hour just trying to figure out what we needed to change.
We made the final changes in the studio the week before we tracked it.
And I'm glad that we did because it needed something to hold it together better than what we first had. - Dustin)
