[Verse 1]

I fall towards myself

Inconsequential to the soil that sprouted me out

As I reconcile with my stake in stolen amenities

Fighting for a spot in life with spoiled project integrity

And though I try no one will give me the time

But then the gates open up although I forgot my name

And for the first time since my youth, I'm breathing fresh air again

And though the grass up here is always wet with dew

I wish I fought a little harder back on Earth to preserve

What we had

[Bridge]

Can the flowers stay on growing

While we remain, while we stand?

Our destruction is still approaching

But for all the other life that is at hand (that blood's in our hands)

Will the circle be unbroken

By and by, oh, by and by?

Is a better home awaiting

In the sky, oh, in the sky?

[Verse 2]

Commend all your friends

For fear in the face of creeping advertisements

And though we know we're on the road to that great show in that big sky

We drag our feet we don't say die, we mourn the dead avoid mention

We're permanently asking why to light and rocks ice

And when the gates open up you won't remember your name

And for the first time since your youth

You're breathing fresh air again

And while the taste of iron may still linger in your brain

You're right next door a million miles away

Out of your head

[Chorus]

Always we knew

We were never meant to be so distant and cruel

Two hundred thousand years of oppression and rule

Yet we can't stop expressing our total love for you

Viral infection dedicated to abuse

I've always hurt you

I've always hurt you

[Verse 3]

I race towards your building and I call out in vain

I try throwing little rocks at your windowpane

Like they do in the films but it never comes across sane

Fast, fast baby we don't have much time

Cold, cold sweat dripping down my back

Back to the place where i first determined my path

I count fifteen candles fluttering against the light wind

I'm just discovering how comfortable it's to sin

We know what we need to do but we don't do it

I don't think that we're monsters, but we're awfully close to it

We say we like our ways, we just like our things

We think maybe everything is predetermined so we don't think

Solid gold glitter and solid gold meth

Just cover up our failings in a palatable mess

Always racing in the name of progress

Considerate of the past but not of what comes next

[Pre-Chorus]

You and I and them

We're all programmed to deceive ourselves with meaning, purpose

Intersubjectivity

It's all a fantasy

I'll always hurt

[Chorus]

You, my God

We were always bent on being sadistic, us fools

Are we an enigma, conscienceless or tools?

Is chaos a natural prerequisite, or do

We just tell ourselves that, so existence has rules?

It's true, we'll always hurt you

Dear God, we'll always hurt you

With love, we'll always hurt you

Forgive, we'll always hurt you
