lyrics

I try to do what I can, scalping wounds in walls of what it takes to be a man
I’m wasting time in my eyes, anxious facing what lies in an earthly disguise
I’m losing faith in these walls, wasting lies to my eyes deceive the appalled
There’s so many lies around this table tonight, hold tight despite that torture that hangs in your hold
Breathing faster now, pushing back all despair in your brain
And take what’s yours, spare time that you mis-sold and gave

Shatter the world that you hold, at least torture the mould that you scold
Watch burn this world to the ground, and behold what is left in the sand
Give up the fight, thought you might like taking this control
Of what takes all this hate takes insight
Buried in fat of this heart
Depress the world fine, let reality dissolve in my eyes, and we’re forced to smile

I never wish I had to awake, lies and smirks written across your face, you’ve embedded the worst.
