Lyrics
Taking Root In Rotten Soil
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Every day we stray further from a God who lost his way
In contempt we sing his name
Minor, frail, a bastard out of key
The deafening drone of despair drowning, I dull my heart unto their pain
To heal one must bleed
Abandoned hopes trampled under feet
Now spit in the face of those who once believed
Now frail, unclean, shattered, obsolete hearts beat extinct
Sever from the unconscious
Surrender
At the toll of absurdity
Do unto others
Dance, dwell, die
I'm Horrified by my selfishness I've complied
Do you believe in fiction
Or do you believe in this
Horrified by my selfishness
Dragged into the bright sky
Subtleties coming apart at the seams
Piercing tears back into the eyes
The only thrill left to die
Horrified
A weeping wound, ripping at the roots of your rapture
A weeping wound, serve no gods, humor no masters
Flowers of rust blooming with hate
No other choice but to let this absence carry me away
Slowly we seethe, watching these blurred lines bleed
Slowly we seethe, screaming these songs we should never sing
Slowly we seethe, the pain is forgotten but we feel the memory, disassociation
Last gasps from burning lungs
A savior's last words, on the tip of my tongue
Bite down to spite my lust
Only to taste the blood
Slowly we seethe
Slowly we seethe
