Mechanical Hannibals
The walls are caving in
Swinging like a tattered curtain caught in the wind
Cascading through the floorboards
While surging through the ceiling
This is no hell
This is home
How is it you can look through the mirror
As if it were
Barely made of glass
How is it your hands pass right through me
As my nails scratch and tear
At the seams
If we're just living monuments
Then what's the measure of glory?
A tale to leave your children
Or a silent never-ending story
Euthanise me
So that all that I can see
This life that I lead
Could be greater than he
Who has not looked into gaze of the hollow
And was not bred only to follow
So that all that I can see?
As we march to the sound of an unheard beat
Another time
In another's memories
Silenced eyes they follow you
Invisible fingers pull away from me
The walls are caving in
The walls are caving
In
Swinging like a tattered curtain caught in the wind
Cascading through the floorboards
While surging through the ceiling
This is no hell
This is home
How is it you can look through the mirror
As if it were
Barely made of glass
How is it your hands pass right through me
As my nails scratch and tear
At the seams
If we're just living monuments
Then what's the measure of glory?
A tale to leave your children
Or a silent never-ending story
Euthanise me
So that all that I can see
This life that I lead
Could be greater than he
Who has not looked into gaze of the hollow
And was not bred only to follow
So that all that I can see?
As we march to the sound of an unheard beat
Another time
In another's memories
Silenced eyes they follow you
Invisible fingers pull away from me
The walls are caving in
The walls are caving
In
