Gore Of Being

In this soft lament
Where the silence is fleeting
Deep in the red and disenchanted
I'm fighting the sentiments
Within my consciousness
A face within the flames

Something in the air, moving closer
Illuminated just ahead

And I crawl towards the edge
An offering to suffer
To the end, where I'll begin
It's overwhelming in the emptiness

Dismantle me

Coalescence between
Sorrow and peace
Gritted teeth ground innocuous
Corrode to rust
Submissive to mortality

Something in the air, moving closer
And I am just a ghost of what was left
Crossing over to live

And I crawl towards the edge
An offering to suffer
To the end, where I'll begin
It's overwhelming, pull me back
As I crawl towards the edge
An offering to suffer
To the end, where I'll begin
It's overwhelming in the emptiness

Dismantle me

There is no cure
There is no meaning
We're weak and powerless
To the gore of being

Time is a cannibal, dismantle me
Submit to the violence of mortality
No cure, no meaning
To the gore of being

And I crawl towards the edge
An offering to suffer
To the end, where I'll begin
It's overwhelming in the emptiness

In the emptiness
We suffer to the end
