Opaque Lyrics


Time broke in dismally lit halls of overwrought

Attempts to speak of kinships found though never sought

I am the death of man

I speak but falling on deaf ears it seems

Becomes the stagnant sequence

Buried words perched atop a fallen dream

Soak up the torment and pin it to your broken face

I am the black seed, the shadow born from eons of disgrace

Break this neck

Cover me up in a blood-stained bed

For now

We never asked for this guilt

We never sought to see what's down the line

It's like two comas in succession

Endless

Redraw the line

As we stumble backwards, crumble in the tide

Wipe your fears away

These crippled hands grow impatient

Collapse the time

Fill this cup now with the soured blood of Christ

And twist the knife again

The more I look the more I see through this opaque charade

I beg forgiveness, reprisal

Return to me what once was mine

(Tenfold this time)

Conviction, desire

Rolling stones up a steep incline

I stand for every spoiled rotten race of leaders to come

So end this now

Let every river welcome the flood

Stick, stuck, stung

With the poison of a cowards tongue

Black eye bruise

Tells the story of a made up truth

As every hour lasts a lifetime

So every instance is a waste of time

Like being strangled by a kite string

Trembling

I want it

I need it

I feel it

It falls apart
