lyrics

These are all symptoms of a much greater issue. A diseased organ, beyond repair, pumping apathy through the extent of it's mangled body; I'm barely breathing.

Words of hope are so far off, a lighthouse in the distance. We will tear ourselves apart reaching for the memory. Separated by turbulent waves; gravitational tendencies.

We're a fucking cancer, intimacy has never been so wretched and false. Concerned only with the aesthetic; lend no hope to those in need. An anesthetic to keep what really matters down in the undertow. Acting controller and willing subject to mental command, but these ripples echo out into forever.

Cerebral decay, malcontent breeds illusion. The senses are malleable, our minds... Euclidean...

"We are scattered and confused. Growing... spreading... and consuming. Religion has destroyed faith, government has destroyed freedom, education has destroyed knowledge. Yet I am alone and without hope. Stumbling in the dark, in a storm. We're a cancer, we'll destroy ourselves."

... And action yields reaction yields reaction. Bind eyes wide.

Bright lights again frame your face. Eyes restless behind their lids. The face of death stares so wickedly. Blind eyes wide. Yet every feature etched so sharply, beneath the cold unforgiving white. The rise and fall of your chest. We've done this to ourselves. Instinct; consume and move on. If only we could see ourselves now; a parable.

Consume and move on. Why...

Blind eyes wide.
