lyrics

I feel the hours start to fold in my hand
Numb and completely vulnerable to no end
Your eyes see what they want
Your mind lies about those whom you love

Idols you're harvesting, pilfered from deities
Creeping tombs of divine
Consumed in breathing, tainted humility
Feeding from the inside

Endlessly straining to see reality
Hazy, shrouded in flies
All thoughts are fading from broken memory
Leaving you further behind

I feel the hours start to fold in my hand
Numb and completely vulnerable to no end
Your eyes see what they want
Your mind lies about those whom you love

Thoughtlessly praising her royal majesty
Craving to bathe in the light
Constantly pleading unyielding apathy
Weaving your new disguise

I feel the hours start to fold in my hand
Numb and completely vulnerable to no end
Your eyes see what they want
Your mind lies about those whom you love

The unfaltering decay flowing free
Black breath blankets the sky
Unrelenting ray of night

What you call principle, I can't abide
Something so cynical, dripping with pride
If I'm so despicable, how come I'm right?
Blinding red, bleeding white
You're the original terrible truth
Pain that no chemical liquor can soothe
Wasted youth, living proof
I'm your unstoppable creeping collapse
Systemic failure enveloped in wax
Heartbreak in black
Thunder cracks
Every last broken glass that remains
