The Lament Configuration

So claustrophobic hard to keep breathing and all at once all hope fades into gray Shelter falls all around you just to 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 drowning in the weight of life Swallow yourself and choke Hollowing the main artery that keeps you going Filter the filth inside into one small bite Take this away cannot bear the end So simple to not breathe at all semms so simple to die 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 Inhale the excess toxic emissions all just to extend another perfect day Cannot stay any longer so farewell Farewell to all the worthless products of your failing world You drag the waters for your soul forget it it's over

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 Contradiction of looking forward to a future that was not promised It all sounds so sweet and then you bleed buried it all in your mind Digging the grave so it begins again Vertigo You will be taken down right where you belong Sign this in blood promise the world away Open yourself to nothing And as the end comes down nothing will live forever Clouding the pool blood loss The poison has taken hold and it will reign eternal Falling disaster crashing down upon creation that bows to 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 Won't be the last time you break standing chosen to fall

Cauterized empty sky Probing your way through the barren landscape of Seasons without end Holding onto every last breath under it's 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 head long into the flood No end in sight Surely the 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 rip the earth from the sky and end it all Life will fall below the surface In this blood truth is made suffer existence Waiting for judgement Who will be the one to rip the earth from the sky Caked in dirt parched dying of thirst With hands held aloft to witness the sky shedding skin One million prayers washed away Separating before the eyes of those too tired to cry No end in sight Surely the drought should end here and now I'm still waiting

The markings burned in leaving no doubt or question a permanent sign The burned 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 you wear so close to snapping Start the end cycle one step away Make your decision to last you the rest of your days Will you become host or disease Alive or living buried or mourning Drawing a line 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 Your life has begun

This is not a test you can afford to fail or try to cheat your way through To lose your concentration opens the door to accusation Truth you cannot handle Truth is your demise It will bring you down Call upon your fathers and to the ghosts You pray that they watch over you and keep you safe from Wrong that you've inflicted Wrong to believe the lied That you have told that you've been told and then wonder why This is not a test there will be another This is not a test if you're not guilty you will be No transfusion for a soul bled bone dry Nothing left to save you're trapped in a world you've given up on World diseased Don't bother acting surprised your failure's standing right in front of you This is not a test there will be another This is not a test if you're not guilty you will be And where does your conscience reside somewhere that you no longer Regard as a part of yourself wallow in the life you waste Your complancence completely staged To distance yourself from all your mistakes This is not a test a test there will be another This is not a test if you're not guilty you will be

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 Every eye will bow under this quickening

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 Failed apparatus embrace the end

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 And by example you bleed drop by drop you'll understand

Where is this going somewhere nowhere just anywhere but here A delinquency in your honesty Blood was shed 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 shed to pave your way two thousand years and nothing's changed So just stay there play dead longer and hope your instinct was right Poison raining in to the mouth of life

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 Own Quiet cold
