lyrics

Unequivocal
Always the path
That Is numbered
Force a fate
That fuels affliction
Never look back
At the wreckage
Shed all decay away

Your exercise in integration
The elegance of silhouettes

Climb
To the top of the mountain
Breach the sky
Let it fall to broken pieces
Bury all the hate in sight
Don’t expect the unknown
Don’t expect the unknown

Say a prayer
As we face tomorrow
Today has us defeated
Don’t relapse
To repress your sorrow
Living like municipal waste
Like municipal waste

I don’t need your attention
because I’m hanging
By a thread
I just want to feel
Like I’m normal
Inside my walls
Until I'm dead
Until I'm dead
Until I'm dead

The pretext of a passenger
Swallowing the black

Don’t expect the unknown
Bury all the hate inside

It’s added pressure
Your mind has disappeared

I’m hanging by a thread
Like municipal waste
I’m hanging by a thread
You waste!
