Trapped on the surface cracks shining through
No action justifying the intentions paving the way
Faults in design now giving way without structure
The end plummets down living up to the old cliche
Won't be the last time you break standing chosen to fall
Contadiction of looking forward to a future that was not promised
It all sounds so sweet ad then you bleed buried it all in your mind
Digging the grave so it all begins again
Vertigo
You will be taken down right where you belong
Sign this is blood promise the world away
Open yourself to nothing
And as the end comes down nothing will live forever
Clouding the pool of blood loss
The poison has taken hold and it will reign eternal
Falling disaster crashing down upon creation that bows down the greet it
Encourage and welcome the new messiah buried it all in your mind
Digging the grave so it begins again
Vertigo
You will be taken down right where you belong
In this image you're standing so flawless so utterly perfect
Yet something is wrong that cannot be placed
A weapon are your words preaching to convert
The very ones that you claim to be trying to save
Passing judgement a blanket statement
Encompassing nothing exacting the strictest of penalty
If your will wasn't flawed would you be overcome by your pain
And is this bleeding ulcer still you faith
A token gesture a bloodless clot
Dragged underneath the swallowing ocean
Failed apparatus delaying the inevitable
The end of your world begins with your next breath
Will the weight of your soul drag it all
Down into the wasteland of the sky
Funeral pyres seeding the whole of the universe
Constantly breeding this arson
Coward accept your own judgement and take a step forward
Volunteering for the end
With this breath turn regret into bliss
And let the world fade away into decay
A token gesture a bloodless clot
Dragged underneath the swallowing ocean
The markings burned in leaving no doubt or question a permanent sign
The burden will not be thrown
The yoke will not break
The body the opposite all too fragile
Running in circles burrow in
The weight suffocating under the curses you bear
Suffer this debt with pride and foolish resolve
The tripwire noose that your wear so close to snapping
Start the end cycle on step away
Make your decision to last the rest of your days
Will you become host or disease
Alive or living buried or mourning
Drawing a lien in sand
Lacking the strength
Walking the fence long enough gravity calls
A simple decision left out of your hands
Accept or deny your place
It's insignificant
We're so small
Taking the low point dragging it down
The worst isn't over
Cauterized empyty sky
Probing your way through the barren landscape
Seasons without end
Holding onto every last breathe under its weight you fall
It's obvious it's over sterilize memories
Retching on promises never delivered life has given up
Common sense kills the notion of your savior
Dislocating the horizon no rapture to awaken
The faithless ties that bind control choking need
Running headlong into teh flood
No end in sight
Sureling this drought should end here and now
I'm still waiting
It's obvious it's over dislocating the horizon
Who will be the one to breathe earth from the sky and end it all
Life will fall below the surface
In this truth blood is made suffer existance
Waiting for judgement
Who will be the one to rip the earth from teh sky
Caked in dirt parched dying of thirst
With hands held aloft to witness the sky shedding skin
One million prayers washed away
Seperating before the eyes of those too tired to cry
No end in sight
Surely this drought should end here and now
Where is this going somewhere nowhere just anywhere but here
A delinquency in your honesty
Blood was she'd to pave your way two thousand years and nothing changed
So just stay there play dead longer and hope your instinct was right
Expect nothing so you'll deliver all of the promises broken and falling
Like poison raining down from the sky into the mouth of life
So just stay there play dead longer and hope your instinct was right
Nothing to show a bitter swallow
Need not be afraid everything is still the same
Anticipating this damnation it never comes
Invention of your blind faith in god in nothing
Poison raining down from the sky in to the mouth of life
Anticipating this damnation
Blood was she'd to pave your way two thousand years and nothing's changed
So just stay there play dead longer and hope your instinct was right
This is not a test you can afford to fail or try to cheat your way through
To lose your cencentration opens the door to accusation
Trusth you cannot handle
Truth is your demise
It will bring you downCall upon your fathers adn the ghosts
You pray that they watch over you and keep your safe from
Wrong that you've inflicted
Wrong to believe the lies
That would have told that you've been told and wonder why
This is not a test there will be another
This is not a test if your not guilty you will be
No transfusion for a soul bled bone dry
Nothing left to save your trapped in a world you've given up on
World diseased
Don't bother acting surprised your failure's standing in front of you
This is not a test there will be another
This is not a test if your not guilty you will be
And where does your conscience reside somwhere that you no longer
Regard as a part of yourself wallow in the lifeyou waste
Your complacence completely staged
To distacne yourself form all your mistakes
This is not a test there will be another
A shadow of control that penetrates so deeply secretly
No glimmer of life in your sullen eyes unchanging condemning
Fixated upon the falling wish naively thrown skyward
A crown upon the head that's resting infinitely
Created the birth fear death and disease
Philosophize the truth away and then in kind this fear can still exist
Sleeping under control of the new abomination
The pawns all placed in seclusion motionless stalemated
A valiant effort your failure resigned to stagnation
Opposition-less thoughts over thrown
A king has fallen shame takes it's form
All the while curses return ten fold
The king left broken crown left in servitude serenity will not be found
Philosophize the truth away and then in kind this fear can still exist
Sleeping under control of the new abomination
Shame takes form
All eyes turn away in horror
I can see it still
Patience patience the sleeping throne will awake
Patience or suffer this alone it's your funeral
All the reverence unwanted still born
A crown upon the head that's resting infinitely
Created the birth fear death and disease
Serenity will not be found
The new abomination that plants the seed of atrocity
At the first sign it begins the terrible certainty the doubt consuming
This time it simply must be it seems impossible to turn away now
And it will hold on till the end
So lift another page another life another day
Just to escape the dreams you hold inside your mind
The waves that crush the life of everything
That you desire and leave you standing in blood
Once the fear awakens it seems impossible to turn away now
Into panic stricken it leaves you all alone
To contemplation of all the ways the end will come
Your eyes they will not save you now
And to the truth you turn a deaf ear
Swallowing anything to quell
Placebo savior on your tongue
To calm the pain falsely gave into self-invented death
And as the chasm fills with ulcered blood and cements in the fear until the
Next time
Your senses seem unclear only one thing appears the prison safety that is your
So claustrophobic hard to keep breathing and all at once hope fades into gray,
Shelter falls all around and you just save the face that you will not wear
You drag the waters and your soul forgets that it's alive
Shedding your blood just like diseased tears
And all for nothing can't cure what can't be saved
To give up ending life if only for one second
Your world is not benign drowning in the weight of life
Swallow yourself and choke
Simple resistance begins this hour your conjured opinion sure to mean nothing
Suffer for the moment fault you've won will it be the price of your pride
To give up ending life if only for one second
Your world is not benign drowing in the weight of life
Swallow yourself and choke
Hollowing the main artery that keeps your going
Filter the filth inside into one small bite
Take this away cannot bear the end
So simple not to breathe at all seems so simple to die
To give up ending life if only for one second
Your world is not benign drowing in the weight of life
Swallow yourself and choke
Inhale the excess toxic emmisions all just to extend another perfect day
Cannot stay any longer so farewell
Farewell to all the worthless products of your failign world
Broken words now silencing no more breath that's worth wasting
Screams inside cannot focus
Not enough to find exit
Forced into retreat life that once showed such promise
Dying without ceremony
No one mourns this silent grave
Ignore signs to the contrary and lay your head to sleep
It seems there are no answers no more than what you've seen
The implied safety falters and falls shattering
The vacuum left behind is all the proof you really need
And by example you bleed drop by drop you'll understand
Wiping away all the protest in an instant scatter the winds
The sky suffocates
Touch the sun and turn to dust justice served for ambition
Bowing to the fallen star
Forever chained by this failure
Ignore signs to the contrary and lay your head to sleep
It seems there are no answers no more than what you've seen
The implied safety falters and falls shattering
The vacuum left behind is all the proof you really need
