Lyrics
Hiding the need for reaction
Witnessing horrors outside myself
I’ve planted the seeds of destruction
Inviting the sorrow to conquer me
Desolation creeps into my darkness
An invocation finds its way to sacrifice the night
Contemplation rearranges silence
Don’t be dead, asleep, or dreaming… one more sacrifice
Calling out the urgency
The fight’s over me
Breaking up the sacred silence
With words illuminating us
Draining out the stream of sadness
Flowing down with subtlety
Pictures penetrate the mind with madness
(Pictures elevate distraction)
Suffocating all I’ve built… an empty compromise
Out from nothingness I’ve held a promise
(Out from nothingness we breathe)
The secrecy is hiding out the truth to falsify
Calling out the urgency
The fight’s over me
Breaking up the sacred silence
With words illuminating us
Draining out the stream of sadness
Flowing down with subtlety
