lyrics

Plant a seed into an, open scar
Turn into, something, beautiful
Hold it up to eternity
Find virtues hidden in the leaves

Light the pitch to see through the dark
Move quickly, it won’t carry far
Break the tether, imbue the sun
To grasp for some clarity of mind

The subdued fist
Just for the sake of it
Tired of waiting
A shared existence links everything ~
It’s all so cavalier
Deprived of thought
Bleeding the lines
Dividing reality
Breathe in the dirt, its caustic
The scathing silence is deafening
Living a life (lie), through the untold
A lull, break into a run
Wait to wake up and disappear
Misshapen and wretched you preach

The pendulum shifts
Causing existence to blink, and fold
Sing to its memory
Eroding ties of dust
Fuelling the cyclical
Sweeping the tome
Lifting a hand up~

The match is struck, now here we are
Blood on your hands and your face
You’ve been here before
Endured
Peeling the life away
They hold out their hands, you don’t care
You block the light, demand that they crawl

Laying awake in the folds
You wait on the world
A weight on your soul
What are you looking for in life.

Wait for the seasons to sing
To unveil the secrets they bring
A beautiful truth, felled from up above

The pendulum swings
Taking as much as it brings
Furrowed
Carved deep to snuff out the stars
The litany everlasting, so~

Why are you waiting on the world
Confront the metaphysical
The blood from your head knots your hair~
You’ve been here before
Echoed, testament to what we endure
We try to hang on to dust
The faceless however are looking on
Cast a spiteful eye from your perch as you preach

The subdued fist
Just for the sake of it
Tired of waiting
Defy the surreal, with bone
May the possessed bear witness
To loss of control over their world

Fly so high now here we are
Blood on your hands and your face
You’ve been here before
A lone, testament to what you en….
Trying to hang on to nothing
Determined hang on to something
The blood is quickening
Tower above as you preach

Two become one, rot has undone
Nurture the eclipse that that shall blot out the sun
A self righteous destruction
To blight this curse we must abhor
The lonely world

Snapped and torn now here we are
Why? It’s not so difficult
Flee, take flight away from here
Forget all that you have seen
What have you done and just what are you looking for in life
Sobriety’s overrated.
