Hide this slow degradation
Claw and compete mindlessly
All things undone too late
Craving our waking sleep
Is binding us to this ivory tower
Serves to complete the truth that we cling onto
So what are these things you hold true
The defensive wounds of the unknowing eye
Weeping thousands of wretched tears
To lubricate the end with our fear
The concussion from the crack of the whip
Nullifies, sensations die
Always numbing, always preaching
Never resting, never sleeping
The construction is our penance here
Tumorous growth chiseled in white
When the darkness comes to slay the day
Enters horrors that you'll be wishing away
Which is the way?
Why mourn this travesty Hide this slow degradation Claw and compete mindlessly All things undone too late Craving our waking sleep Is binding us to this ivory tower Serves to complete the truth that we cling onto So what are these things you hold true The defensive wounds of the unknowing eye Weeping thousands of wretched tears To lubricate the end with our fear The concussion from the crack of the whip Nullifies, sensations die Always numbing, always preaching Never resting, never sleeping The construction is our penance here Tumorous growth chiseled in white When the darkness comes to slay the day Enters horrors that you'll be wishing away Which is the way?
