This is a love affair with consumer despair An emptiness I can call my own An arbitrary sanctuary Where we deposit prayers to a dispensable God
Welcome to the end stage age Where joy is a pill and love's a prescription Vaccinated with an outward suspicion Isolation became our pre-existing condition
Manifested drudge of my mass-manufactured consent But there's a gaping hole in my consciousness A deep that cries out to deep
This is a love affair with consumer despair An emptiness I can call my own An antidote for mystery Our indifference is deafening
(היהא רשא היה) There's a presence here, it stirs inside the static dissonance Of discontent that refused to relent
I built a home overlooking a graveyard To remind myself I'm still alive Yet you see a flaw still abides As I witness an ending that I can't contrive
We watched a golden array of a casket parade As wealth makes its final display to the ground I found it strange, that even in this place Death became such a gainful exchange
Give me something to hold, give me something that bleeds I'll scour the earth for my identity Is there a cure for a sick society?
So rich in this world, so in debt to ourselves The network of life in such a disconnect How many times must we die this death?
Annihilation is all we are Desolation is everything I know
All we are is all we love And everything I know is destructible Artificial heart, obsidian soul Encircled by dreams that are combustible
We trade the Garden for Cities, the Tree for a Tower Surrendered our faith, became addicted to power I know that hope grows inside of the Wound And I know progress is empty, I must Be Consumed
So I'll dig through these masks till I find my face Separate from the false pretense I embraced It kills me to know that you'll never find peace You can have all the world but you'll never be free
Tear the stitches sewn across my existence Cut me out from this nothingness Dusk will come and lay to rest Our fleeting, fading silhouettesTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
