Insolvent

The lights are down

So wrap up the play

You had your chance to be something

But you wasted it leeching off me

Hold me back by a chain

Lock me away in a hell

Where I’m forced to find solace in violence

I’ve run out of mileage

We sell our clichés

And the broken kids buy this shit

So bring out your violins and

Play me a eulogy dressed up in silence

My fucking passions in ashes

All hope is dead

(All hope is dead, all hope is dead)

(All hope is dead, all hope is dead)

The voice that’s pulling me downward

Whispered its name in my ear

Severance

Another broken cycle

Crippling me

Under the weight of the things

That I wanted to be

I won’t

Sell my silence to stave off an indictment

(Think you could hide from me?)

I fucking got you

You rancid fuck

When powers authority is vested

And the angels sing of blood that they’ve shed

Our pain is

Packaged

Sold like a commodity

Strip me to the fucking bone

Despondent

The starving child savors the taste

When we consume the host

A paradise we annihilate

Pulling levers

Savoring consequence

Tension rising

Knives dulling

Severance

Forsaken by God

The Hell that stays here

All hope is fucking dead

Severance

Set me free
