lyrics

to be ripped from nonexistence
by a dull knife and hesitant hand
hanging from a hollow birch tree
i'll keep swinging, that's my plan

why must i tarnish
as i'm told?
tomorrow isn't silver
tomorrow isn't gold

setting up shop in nullity
you don't wanna see the sun come up
you've been lost, so hard to define
always there in the back of my mind

doomed to make
yourself doomed
or were you just made doomed?
the concept of
survival means
suicide by the installment plan
let's not participate
let's build the party
kill every day me
arms without army

you've been in the dark for
so damn long
now i'm left to search for
a piece of mind
picking up the shards you
left behind
every pleasure is
so irate
drowning lake
open the gate
dry up the colors
you create

take sides
that which runs
through us all
to accelerate
sweet collapse
lest we sit
down and survive
