Lyrics
I've thrown stones with good intentions.
My inner space - corrosive.
Dissolving my enemies and friends alike.
Feverish and contagious,
She spews what plagues us.
Builds monuments to celebrate
our dysfunction.
Your mouth, full of charity.
Your heart, full of tyranny.
Your truths cannot be trusted.
Cannot be trusted.
I've seized the day,
apathetic to the maelstrom
When can I let go? Nothing really matters now.
I don't belong here. I don't belong anywhere.
May I be a savior to you?
I've watched you endure the pain
for too long. I hoped
you'd do the same for me.
In hindsight,
I never
should have left your side.
Now, shame is my only companion.
My former days of glory
surpassed by days of pestilence.
Seen through the eyes of the past,
the latter days aren't much different.
Smite the offender
to satisfy your impulsive heart.
You need an illusory identity
to defend. To defend.
Welcome to the devil's playground.
She's tempting me to insanity.
And I'm slipping into oblivion.
Should I have faith that my sins
will be washed away?
I envisioned that this could be
divine immersion, but I was wrong.
Pale light distortion - a hazy view
beyond correction - My spirit drowning.
Sleep forever. Sleep.
Don't wake up when nightmares
Have shown you mercy.
Stare back into the eyes of your maker
to call his bluff.
A grim future awaits us.
The end is an illusion,
but we fear what lies beyond the flesh.
We fight for this world to survive.
And our reasons are all but selfless.
Irises turning black - dying.
I've fallen from your grace.
I need a sign that you're still with me.
I'm captivated by your beauty.
Entranced by dispassionate murder.
Amused by the horror.
Soothed by your savagery.
We celebrate the lamented warrior,
paying tribute to his weathered effigy.
We followed without question.
The flock led astray.
Let us march in the
hero's parade.
His days are numbered,
but he has plans to live forever.
Sooner or later, we will have to give up
the things are false in us.
Sooner or later, we will have to give up.
