Well, you know I'm a bloodbath, but you made me this way.
And I'm ready to spill all over your feigned charity.
You arranged my emotions in perfect disarray.
And I can't begin to extract the aspirations you've claimed.
When we are left to wonder what the world has come to,
I might as well leave all the notions behind
that I can effect a catharsis of this grand design.
'Cause it left all decorum at the scene of its birth,
adopted a false disposition, and abandoned its worth.
And I just want to understand the truth
that lurks beneath the surface of your words,
darling dear. Don't be afraid,
'cause I can see what's under all the smiles,
a broken record playing in reverse.
Repeat the past, rejoice the hurt.
We balance on the edge of no return,
just spinning our wheels.
And if we keep this up, our axles will rust,
and we'll never come unstuck.
The constant has escaped us, answers inconsistent with
the evidence we've gathered. Overlook the obvious.
Grasping onto ignorance, we wither into dust.
Shielded by our memories, we think we're already free.
The dead are the bricks of our existence,
but no one seems to notice.
We're stationary in our own self-imposed confinement,
scared of things that we don't know
won't hurt us 'til we find them,
satisfied to understand nothing of identity,
scared our shadows won't be there... ever again.
Will you let the world wilt away?
Let's deconstruct it of our own accord.
Will you let the pieces decay?
Let's reconstruct them of our own accord.
Will you leave the distance to grow?
Let's deconstruct it of our own accord.
Will you let the progress plateau?
Let's reconstruct it of our own accord.
Everything has gone.
Everything has gone.
The lives that we've built, the world that we've made,
everything is gone, everything is gone.
The memories we've shared, the futures we've dreamed,
everything is gone, everything is gone.
This is the end of our coexistence.
This is the end of our coexistence.
Everything has gone.
Everything has gone
to waste.
