I feel trapped in my inability to get you through this I can't let this fall apart And it hurts too much to do nothing Can't eat, can't sleep Consciousness is destroying me My eyes are heavy, with no relief Just rusted anchors of frozen meat Circling a locked groove drain Failing to drown in its filth Just burn it all away Remove me, I'm scared Scarred I feel trapped in my inability to get you through this I can't let this fall apart And it hurts too much to do nothing Can't eat, can't sleep Consciousness is destroying me My eyes are heavy, with no relief Just rusted anchors of frozen meat

It occurs to me years too late To spare my lilting ego the trauma Just how little is being martyred? How little heart there is left to offer A lidless eye, rose red and reeling Perceiving nothing save an endless seething Even I can't decide If this is anthem or affect I think they're getting wise Or maybe they always knew I think they're getting wise Or maybe they always knew That this never actually mattered That this never actually mattered That this never actually mattered at all

I don't know where to start This consistent battle against Unnerving tension I feel it every day within these walls No matter how hard I try No matter how hard I try I seem incapable Of extracting whatever it is That is causing the pain that it spreads I seem incapable Of extracting whatever it is That is causing the pain that it spreads A chill that bores a hole right through My own sense of self Unnatural chill to this air Temperament of unease Rustling with the wind, my slight squint punctuated By deepening crow's feet Unnatural chill to this air Temperament of unease Rustling with thе wind, my slight squint punctuated By deepening crow's feet What have wе left? What have we left? What have we left? What have we left? I seem incapable Of extracting whatever it is That is causing the pain that it spreads I seem incapable Of extracting whatever it is That is causing the pain that it spreads

I can't maintain composure We deserve this Numbed by the glare And we deserve this I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well We deserve this And we deserve this I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well (I'll do anything for money) I don't believe that you mean well (I'll say anything for money) I don't believe that you mean well (I'll do anything for money) I don't believe that you mean well (I'll say anything) We deserve this We deserve this We deserve this Blacked out, bloated, vacant, expired (We deserve this) All hail unending growth All hail my wealth (We deserve this) This similar unveiled torture This extinction moment (We deserve this) A great focus then erased But it really is all about you anyway This is a dying land, and we don't care This is a dying land, and we don't care We never did We never did Suppressing years old tears With each gasp of the wind So much life, and all we bring is rot So much life, and all we bring is rot So much life, and all we bring is rot So much life, and all we bring is rot I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well I don't believe that you mean well

Hopeless addict of righteous judgment The desperate search for an enemy Pointless delusion of my own misgivings Terminal voyeur, drain this abscess of purposeless greed Fueled demagogue Meddling parasite Tasteless narcissist Grating sinews under clawed clasp With flies to remind you of your own decay The gnashing of teeth with no tensile strength Biteless, witless, senseless Dеfanged, hollow, impotent Inherеnt poisonous laziness And here's the thing we did before That you liked so much Stockpiling wholesome memories And bitter enemies We just don't care, and it shows The gnashing of teeth with no tensile strength Biteless, witless, senseless Defanged, hollow, impotent Inherent poisonous laziness The gnashing of teeth with no tensile strength Biteless, witless, senseless Defanged, hollow, impotent Inherent poisonous laziness The gnashing of teeth with no tensile strength Biteless, witless, senseless Defanged, hollow, impotent Inherent poisonous laziness Nothing will change Revolution of ash and piss A defining moment Of banal indifference While none of it matters

I'm unravelling so much faster than I used to Like distant blanketed lightning for the impending storm With an unnatural tenure This pure cold wave Pulsating in its dominance And eclipsing all focus You felt it too Like the beating wings of the thrush You felt it too Then brings the storm Without release, without relief Then brings the storm A ruthless simplicity of which we've become detached To usher in our greatest fall Then brings the storm Without relеase, without relief Thеn brings the storm To usher in our greatest fall Then brings the storm Without release, without relief Then brings the storm To usher in our greatest fall Forgotten, erased Unresponsive, replaced, abandoned Forgotten, erased Unresponsive, replaced, abandoned Forgotten, erased Unresponsive, replaced, abandoned Forgotten, erased Unresponsive, replaced, abandoned Forgotten, erased Unresponsive, replaced, abandoned Forgotten, erased Unresponsive, replaced, abandoned
