lyrics

Movement 1:
This is something you can't escape
Even now, down the road looks bleak
Then it all starts to fade
Then it all starts to fade
Every lesson and every mistake
That'll haunt us until the day
That we're locked in our graves
As the essence of life degrades

Face first into, another void descending
Losing the grip to carry on with every single day
Minds left to rot, inside a grand delusion
Hands cut deeply by shattered hearts we never gave away

In all of this scorn and loathing, it's so easy to fall off-page

We usurp the endless sky
And wonder just how long it will take us
To ever feel truly alive
The point of life is inherently pointless
Only too late realize
There's nothing you could do to avoid this
I know it eats you alive
I know you feel like shit for your choices

Movement 2:
Carved out every trace of life (This is festering)
Gutted out and left there to die (You will dissipate) x 2

It's already been set in motion
We're still holding on to no avail

Pain, you want pain
Come on, let's see how much you can take
Pain, give me pain
I want nothing else to muffle the screams
Only pain

So fucking give it up

It's already been set in motion
We're still holding on to no avail
It's growing, this slow revulsion
We're still holding on, to a fragile sense of worth

Movement 3:
Let the grief lull you to sleep
Feels like it hurts to breathe
Let it seethe and grow endlessly
Callous to pleas of those you've stood upon

Gentle breeze grant me reprieve
Solace and peace from our own
Self-destruction
Apprehension
Wading through the wreckage as we wither

Movement 1 (reprise)
This is something you can't escape
Even now, down the road looks bleak
Then it all starts to fade
As the essence of life degrades

Face first into another void descending
Losing the grip to carry on with every single day
Minds left to rot inside a grand delusion
Hands cut deeply by shattered hearts we never gave away
