lyrics

Cut the neck
Three heads grow back
Such is life, unrelenting
Oppressive on the backs
Of those who choose to live with eyes in the sky

Meticulous dissection of self image is a partial catharsis
Not enough to cauterize the wound
Forever confined to the wall of noise
All attempts to be heard are drowned out
In dissonance

Painting portraits of pain and purpose
Losing composure
Cracking on the surface

Blistering thoughts derived from fear
Always consuming me
Always here

Lying on a barren bed of roses
The ground beneath demands flesh
Nothing's sufficient enough
Sacrificing self in hope that something will flourish
Before the point of death

Lying on a barren bed of roses
Growing complacent
Dying inside from the rot
Such is life, unrelenting
A droning shrill forever suppressing
Punished by the hands of God

The days become too long
Corrosive waves erode and grind, until I’m gone
Every single good thing in life will fade, weep, and bend
Finally, take me away to a bastard’s end.
