A Violent Delight

Deception, only feature
A pestilential attribute as your fame
A lesson you neglect to ascertain
You just disrupt, disgust, distrust, dig up, make fuss
Enough's enough and I never want to see you again

Before I knew it, I was playing a part in this pathetic dog
And pony act you called a better living

To think that everything could worsen with our sins
I should have known that everyone around me
Was cursed with a sense of loss
Just a lesser cause, building me up just to be dropped
I'll always end up questioning you

"Why so condescending with your undertones?"
If I go, then you'll surely fail to stay afloat
The price rose, now your life is just a debt you owe
All I know is that I might take it
But I can't take it
Now I can't take this dependency on
Everything that doesn't defend me at all
I dissolve just to feel the debilitation

Creep in and crawl across the walls of my conscience
I never want to sit amongst the ones talking dog shit
If everything is nothing, how come I can't just drop this?
If happiness is coming, how come I haven't caught it all to myself?
I'm becoming a monster and far from capable of branching
Out for help to the ones who have sworn to me absolution

Send me a sign that I'll get better
You can tell me a lie, I won't remember
When I'm ready to die, I'll leave a letter
If I hand you a knife, sign your initials

It's a series of losses that halts our progression
If the searing would pause, I could stop our resentment
With an eerie applause, I am drawn to your presence
If I show you my flaws
Show me your devils

With the steel cold, we'll find warmth in something grimmer
Still born
I'll show you my devils
With the steel cold, we'll find warmth in something grimmer
Still born
