lyrics

Corpse head... A feast for maggots.
Emptiness personified,
Bloodless meat and soulless eyes.
Reap / sew... A situation
Exacerbated by the truth.
Cold, gray rot - extract the tooth.
Man down… A cancer inside.
Cut away the infection,
What remains is close to none.
Hate crime… All love is violence.
Feelings torn out, turned to salt,
Fingers point to who's at fault.
Deathblow… A mortal wound is
Laid upon a beating heart.
I'd seek help if I was smart.
Block out… The ugly world and
Fortify this granite wall,
Never leave these hallowed halls.
Break down…. No one can see it.
You can only trust in you.
Only you know what to do.
Laid low… This solitude the
Only path you've ever known.
Find peace in being alone.

All is loss.
What goes around comes around,
Learn to swim or you will drown.
All is loss.
Doesn't matter what was said,
All alone inside our heads.
All is loss.
Passion dwindles, beauty fades,
Time unmakes all that is made.
All is loss.
The sour taste of defeat
Should always be bittersweet.

Every breath a little death,
Soon there will be nothing left.
Every word remains unheard,
No emotions have been stirred.
Every song is written wrong,
All a lie, no one's that strong .
Every secret aims to kill,
Soon enough one of them will.
Open wound is festering...
This same thing killed slaves and kings.
Open wound is festering...
It's the end of everything.
Open wound is festering...
There are no words left to sing.
Open wound is festering...
It's the end of everything.
