lyrics

In time I begin, to feel an undulating drift.
Untethered from the center.

Waves of crashing rage scorch the throat of what was
Born from the drowning, baptism through pain

Pelagial descent, fill the lungs to the breaking point.
I scream aloud in silence, untold agony.

The violent lash of contortions crack and fracture the body
Crushed under the weight of a wordless malice
Broken and forgotten, all but calcareous

The depths of stagnation, a hopeless dissonance
In oceanic patterns
I am become,
null.

Pushed, beyond repair, forever aware, of the passing of time
Stuck, rooted in place, a construct of fear, complacent contempt

How long, Must I, Wallow, Aimless
Cheated, Stolen, rendered, adrift

Swallowed by the shifting tides
We are, reborn, with passive contempt
Vitriolic dependency
Eternal persecution

Barren, the days, they slither away
Suspended and frozen
Conscripted to this decay
Slave to a new day

Buried by uncertainty
Begin, a downward spiral
Feigning contentment, a fabricated peace
Consumed by redemption

A silent abyss, It swallows whole
But leaves a shell to wander
A lifeless husk, robotic.
Protected by an afflicting mask

Pray for the end.
One must awaken, we must Ascend
Our world to rend
Succumbed to the plague of the negligent
Pray for the end
A veil of black, draining the day
Our world to rend
Succumbed to the plague of the negligent

How long, Must I, Wallow, Aimless
Cheated, Stolen, rendered, adrift
