Umbilical

At last At last At last At last As we plunge into the abscess Blighted spirits so bereft Shameful weeping, voices echo from the bottom of a well Can you hear the cries Can you hear the cries Can you hear the cries of worn-out phrases From listless gazes, pretentious lingering in childish phases The heartless hand and empty gestures The pitiful searching for hollow pleasures At last At last At last At last Can you hear the cries Can you hear the cries Can you hear the cries Can you hear the cries Lost in a palace of mirrors Staring at infinite reflections gazing back Too near to see the mark of shame Lost in empty dialectics, the art of building up and tearing down Of discussing all things and accomplishing nothing Of compromised ideals, friendships abandoned Our works substandard, principles meandering So speak our names as a warning, as a curse, as a failure At last It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die It's time to die So die So die So die So die So die So die So die So die So die

When the shrieking eye turns inward To the prison without locks Weakness laid bare The artifice peeled back The true face is revealed To see the walls of limitation Grey skinned and impure That righteous incoherence The artifice peeled back The true face is revealed When the shrieking eye turns inward Weakness is laid barе

Feckless servants The extension of a non-creative will Make the compromise to bring ruin To the palace of imagination Flaccid servants The boot print of a non-creative will Make the compromise to bring ruin To the palace of imagination If that's moving up, then I'm moving out If that's moving up, then I'm moving out You're nothing without shambling spectres Sloughing spirit stripped from the flesh We made the compromise and brought ruin To our palace of imagination Get a job

Unwelcome claimant drawn to the flame Of a burning sanctum engorged in ash The acrid fumes obscuring sight Obstructing speech, incensed occlusion The perception of slight discharges, cold corrosion Tracing caustic passage underneath the flesh In the veiny pathways, spread throughout the limbs A numbing excretion sapping thought Intrusive presence Unencumbered by reason or respect It can't be soothed Nor placated Unbidden guest drawn through the gateway Of еxposed nerve, an opеn portal A door unhinged by soured expectations Harsh resentment constricts the chest The perception of slight discharges, cold corrosion Tracing caustic passage underneath the flesh In the veiny pathways, spread throughout the limbs A numbing excretion sapping thought Intrusive presence Unencumbered by reason or respect It can't be soothed Nor placated It can't be soothed Nor placated It can't be soothed Nor placated It can't be soothed Nor placated Will I never be rid of you? Will I never be rid of you? Festering wound, the open gateway Fractal nerve, total occlusion

Lament over an empty tomb Scorned by those who gave up too soon Kneel before the empty tomb I am the scourge, I am the open wound Pockmarked fields by open graves My dying dream that no one saves Reminding me of all the ways An endless waste of all my days Lament over an empty tomb Forsaken, I gave up too soon Kneel before the empty tomb I am the scourge, the self-inflicted wound Repеtition clouds my vision, no one listens Sinew strippеd by exhausting subservience Open veins to a perverted reverence As we succumb to our compulsive deviance All the things I'll never see All the things I'll never be All there is that's left for me Is here in this eternity All the things I'll never see All the things I'll never be All my hopes are memory All there is that's left for me is obligation Obligation Obligation Obligation Obligation Obligation Obligation

Surrender to a ceaseless path Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls Submit to the scourge pit Carving the lines across an age'ed face, giving misery its place Ragged men in ragged clothes Silver thorn and bloody rose Pride that has come to define The martyrdom spoiling our minds My triumph's a desert, barren and tame Who was the promise for? Laborious tasks that are futile and vain Who was the promise for? Meaningless bonds that succumb to the years But who was the promise for? Now we're washing the sand with our salty tears Who was the promise for? Forsake the ceaseless path Escape a hollow shrine of crumbling halls Layers of mold on toppled walls Emerge from the scourge pit Carving the lines across an age'ed face, giving misery its place We're still ragged men in ragged clothes Broken face and bloody nose Arrogance comes to define The shrillness entwined in our whine Exhausting a thought for a lifetime of pain Who was the promise for? An animate corpse that is toiling in vain Who was the promise for? A silence so loud that it rings in our ears (Who was the promise for?) Now we're washing the sand with our ghostly tears Who was the promise for? Blind leading blind Never feel the laughter Search through time Nothing reveals the answer Blind leading blind Never feel the laughter Search through time Nothing reveals the answer Unmoored Adrift in a nebulous void Unmoored Sink in a depthless void

Suppression and subservience Overwhelmed and discontent Indentured to my petulance Or maybe tantrum's what I meant Acceptance is a settlement Surrounding me in decadence Embittered by impermanence A poorly noted temperament And it takes me from the path It leaves me in the woods Forsaken to a wilderness A self-inflicted loneliness Manifest my arrogance Of my self-centered negligence Approximation at its best Compromise in ignorance Sinking into wretchedness Self-destructive negligence I'm malcontent Unsatisfied with these concessions It's one letdown after another Misunderstandings, endless struggle Forsaken to a wilderness A self-inflicted loneliness Manifest my arrogance Of my self-centered negligence Approximation at its best Compromise in ignorance Submerged within my wretchedness Self-destructive negligence Cry for help No one hears me No one hears me No one hears me No one hears me

Unclench those fists Release that white knuckled grip A resolution to fruitless searching A renouncement of sentimental frailty Farewell, age'ed stalwarts Farewell, stagnant corruption Arise from our deathbed Return to life just to walk away Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy Turn back the page with my friend With my friend from so far away Farewell, age'ed stalwarts Farewell, ancient corruption Arise from our deathbed Return to life just to walk away We've seen how love can grow Now we'll see how it dies Peace has finally come upon me Come upon me and it leaves me weak Farewell, age'ed stalwarts Farewell, stagnant corruption Arise from our deathbed Return to life just to walk away And I'm not coming back
