[Intro: Jeffery Nothing]

How could such potential go unrealized

The natives speak in tongues and tangled truths while chanting

Diatribes

Somewhere deep down in the subconscious wrapped in riddles lies

The meaning of this life we try to find but only lose our minds


[Verse 1: Jeffery Nothing]

Through my blind desperation soul solely rages on

Social defacing here my replacement comes

Rumors of cutbacks harbored hypocrisy

My heart dwells in darkness

My body imprisons me


[Chorus: J. Mann, (Jeffery Nothing)]

Breakdown - all the walls have fallen

(My soul solely rages on)

Storm the palace seize the crown

(Soul solely rages)

Whispered winds soon sound the calling

(My soul solely rages on)

Betray your malice heed your vows

(On)


[Verse 2: Jeffery Nothing]

Victory misery glory defeat

The war inside pushing me

Brings me to bleed

I thank you all for the laughs

Just like the poison in me

Raise a glass for my father then put me to sleep


[Chorus: J. Mann, (Jeffery Nothing)]

Breakdown - all the walls have fallen

(My soul solely rages on)

Storm the palace seize the crown

(Soul solely rages)

Whispered winds soon sound the calling

(My soul solely rages on)

Betray your malice heed your vows

(On)


[Bridge 1: J. Mann]

Erase those saccharine smiles vague in their sincerity

Lift these veiled chains in an endless race for clarity

Barely hanging on to a faith I'd briefly known

I've seen an angels face, the broken wings on which she'd flown

Emotion fades to faceless as we soon become sedate

Is it time to mourn this loss or is it time to celebrate


[Bridge 2: Jeffery Nothing]

How could such potential go unrealized

The natives speak in tongues and tangled truths while chanting

Diatribes

Somewhere deep down in the subconscious wrapped in riddles lies

The meaning of this life we try to find but only lose our minds


[Verse 3: Jeffery Nothing]

Through my blind desperation soul solely rages on

Social defacing here my replacement comes

Rumors of cutbacks harbored hypocrisy

My heart dwells in darkness

My body imprisons me


[Chorus: J. Mann, (Jeffery Nothing)]

Breakdown - all the walls have fallen

(My soul solely rages on)

Storm the palace seize the crown

(Soul solely rages)

Whispered winds soon sound the calling

(My soul solely rages on)

Betray your malice heed your vows

(On)


[Outro: Jeffery Nothing]

On and on and on and on

Soul solely rages on
