State Of Slow Decay
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.
It is my reflection
But I know it's not me
I am becoming something else
I feel the weight of the key
This place is falling apart
There's no way back
Passing through the gates
A new shadow will reveal itself
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We're all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there's no way
Seen it through the accolades
It all should be a great success
But their are so many burdens
World is heavy and full of distress
The stories have run their course
None of them make sense
We're all someone else's fool
Buried in our own debris
Destroy the things you know
Destroy yourself in shame
Before tomorrow comes
Destroy everything
Faith alone won't sustain
We're in a state of slow decay
I hear forgive and forget
But I see there's no way
