about

A song about conformity.

lyrics

Feeding on the hungry
Make them grateful
They exist as shit
Leave it to the only
Ones who know me
Say I'm born to this
Maybe we're the fathers
Of the harder ones
That came this way
Praising their endeavors
That we may excuse
Our chances missed

Never mind his open eyes
Our solution is to crucify
The ones who'd save us all
Never mind your will to rhyme
You will find that it will fade in time
And You Will Be As Us

Revel in your greyscale
Inhibitions that
Lead you astray
Read into the shapes
Give birth to sounds
Give way to how we pray
Maybe we're deserving
Of the scorn
We deign to sanctify
Righteously rewarding
All the apathy
That we deny

Never mind his open eyes
Our solution is to crucify
The ones who'd save us all
Never mind your will to rhyme
You will find that it will fade in time
And You Will Be As Us

Cobwebs inside my head
Ghosts walking in my stead
You smell of future now
Fix it but don't ask how

Cobwebs inside my head (this is all we know)
Ghosts walking in my stead (this is all we're told)
You smell of future now (low your head and pray)
Fix it but don't ask how (he'll listen someday)

Cobwebs inside my head (this all you know)
Ghosts walking in my stead (this is all you're told)
You smell of future now (low my head and pray)
Fix it but don't ask how (he'll answer some day)

Never mind his open eyes
Our solution is to crucify
The ones who'd save us all
Never mind your will to rhyme
You will find that it will fade in time
And You Will Be As Us
