Rift

These days nothing's coming easy and retribution's swift
but Olivia's poisoning the well we'll blame it on this
I can raise the guilty hand, but I'd rather plead the 5th
Better silence than me to be the one to fill the rift

Olivia, take your spot and watch the world fall apart
See the flaming horses running free and then see them all chained to carts
Suppose you could mourn for them, that might be a start
or I suppose you could shoot 'em dead if you've got the heart

Olivia don't you feel the rift?
What it doesn't swallow it breaks and shifts
You can try and run away, it best not be your only trick
Because all the destruction, man, it happens quick

A few hours of moonlight and if that's if the clouds abate
It's easy enough in this life to go predator to prey
I can take on either role, but I'd just soon walk away
Because something's always hunting you, regardless of the day

Olivia, take your spot and watch the rising of the sun
See the horses that we shot back there are bleeding out one by one
Suppose you could heal them, they say you've got a gift
See, mine's a little different, I just throw 'em in the rift
