lyrics
Beneath a veneer of ignorance, a universe was conceived within
That saw its first cosmic genocide. The light of distant stars finally reaching its surface
Revealing through a process of destruction, seemingly eons long
An amalgamation of lies created to personify the human
Conditioned to think of love as just another form of hate
Misinterpreted and overused to the point that they are one and the same
Conditioned to believe the lies that the mirror would have us see
An ultimately powerful force this diluted reality
Eyes lift slowly to the setting sun
Its dying embers light a bleak horizon
They burn away all that remains of youth,
And obfuscate all I thought was once true
This inner vacancy is comforting
The raging tidal waves of grief subsiding,
And oceans calm under synaptic night
The flesh is prison in this metaphor of life
But death is clear, the only option to remove the stigma
That brands us all as imperfect beings
Simple eating, breathing, fucking machines!
These eyes saw you as nothing more
But you create in me what you want to see
The words like vultures scavenging
The very essence of this simple being
Proliferate and conquer
Shaped like clay into a form I cannot recognise
Conditioned to think of love as just another form of hate
Misinterpreted and overused to the point that they are one and the same
Conditioned to believe the lies that the mirror would have us see
An ultimately powerful force this diluted reality
Beyond the veneer of ignorance, glowing like rays of the sun
Plotting the path of a life that’s just begun
