Weak And The Wounded

Beyond The Embrace

Closed eyes that walk among us,

building castles in the air

Lost in degeneration, absence in all you know

Shed skin to hide reflection

leaving no trail behind

Neck deep in contradiction

Forked tongue behind the smile



Making its way in the dark about

About to decide which way to go

A life of disdain, a world left unchanged

Condemned to swim against the grain

The sun sets on existence,

as one drowns in the flow

The bending sea forever circles around us all



We've built a culture where ignorance is bliss

Brought unto this world human inflicted



Why should we fall to the masses each day?

Why did we come this far to just turn back anyway?

We're auditioning for our own demise,

and immune to the screaming



So tie me up alone, far from the system hold

I feel no patience, I see no cure

Evolved in reverse

Rise, fall...it's your choice



How did it all, did all come to this???

I want to know why...



Why should we fall to the masses each day?

Why did we come this far to just turn back anyway?

We're existing for our own demise,

and immune to the screaming



So tie me up alone, far from the system hold

I feel no patience, I see no cure

Evolved in reverse

Rise, fall...it's your choice



Closed eyes that walk among us...
