Inconsolable 03:55
so you've had enough careening back and forth between remorse and shame but now the veil lifts revealing all the steps you will have to take drawing nearer to the ether like some bleary-eyed bereaver pulling levers for the damned now the time has come for you to live the words all the words you've learned drawing nearer to the ether like some bleary-eyed bereaver pulling levers for the damned and inconsolable fuck your priorities and what you think i should believe fuck all those honey'd scrolls you feed to the prophets down below drawing nearer to the ether like some bleary-eyed bereaver drawing nearer to the ether like the beady-eyed deceiver that you are your prophet turns to me and says we shall be free at last but when i turn my cheek my face gets beaten bible black sanctimonious fucker!

you are me and i am you cowering in our dim-lit room counting hours of endless days embracing cowardice and shame they can turn our diamonds into coal and fill our fortress full of holes we'll walk like shadows through the fray while all the world is in decay as lives occur and threats connect wills collide without regret we seal each other in our vault until the world comes to a halt they can turn our diamonds into coal and fill our fortress full of holes we'll walk like shadows through the fray while all the world around is in decay when we die, we die alone we'll need no effort of our own and they will savour our last breath our legacy of malcontent they can turn our diamonds into coal and fill our fortress full of holes we'll walk like shadows through the fray while all the world around is in decay

sleepless again last night can't seem to shake your nerves tonight bloodshot lines in worried eyes a roadmap to the centre of your mind and like a hot pin through slick membrane you can feel the heat and the pressure but nothing more - do, think nothing more - idle, vacant to the core - sleep, eat, breathe such a bore can it be that you want nothing more i can't wait for your next mistake see them flailing in your wake burned away your periphery so you only see what you want and nothing more - do, think nothing more - idle, vacant to the core - sleep, eat, breathe such a bore can it be that you want nothing more you say you've got the holiest of scriptures in your hand you do whatever you want on your way to the promised land conscience is a fickle thing but you can block out all it's nattering so now it's one foot outside the door you can see one step ahead but nothing more - do, think nothing more - idle, vacant to the core - sleep, eat, breathe such a bore can it be that you want nothing more nothing more

the saviour ascends! in every direction beyond the world of men beyond comprehension fear of the perils of this mortal earth alone was not enough make us tame a frenzy forged out of fear of the unknown was just the thing to make us lame now it's eyes to the sky for a glimpse of the divine we can pray for guidance 'til we're out of our minds we cannot reconcile the chasm in between what we've been told and what we've seen the saviour ascends! in every direction beyond the world of men beyond comprehension just watch him ascend! holy pederast - unbridled lechery confessed unto thyself absolved in pageantry burn the women and tear the men apart free will alone cannot save a severed heart recant your sins and recant your idle whims still might not save you from the flaying of your skin once a man of god and now a god himself his will be done by your own hand
