Empty From The Start

Cancerous
Mouths are foaming
Sycophants
Picking clean
Everything they couldn’t hope to be
So pick up the pieces
Tell me how easy it is
To stitch up a heart
Count the flies above your head
Motherfucker, you were empty from the start

Serenity
Fades beneath avarice and greed
Deceivers remain
What does the flesh attain
Falling in sync
The façade does not breathe
Show me the God of your endeavors
I’ll show you how God can bleed

Your vision tunnels
Forsake the climb
Like a hammer to a nail
Leave your day ones behind
Pray for a decent life

But when the sky turns to grey
You’ll be alone and cold
And wishing that the bridge didn’t burn away
Callous
This deafening medley
Seeking remedy
Every misstep that you made
All of your pain
All your hate
Trace it all back to the emptiness holding your name

No salvation
Severance

Malice holds your heart
You vapid motherfucker
I had you pegged
From the fucking start
