The Calm Before The Storm

The sun is avoiding the orbit of your ego
Don't cry, it looks bad on camera
The only solemnity awaiting you is death
And the saddest part is: you know that

You're not hollow, you know
You're just corrosive to the gut
It is no diamond vessel
This cheap glass dams the acrid acid

You the embodiment of sloth
Don't think your brain will compensate
And beyond this stern face lies a softer disgrace

Go on and laugh it all off
Your cheap, black humor parasites
Your youthful rotten soul
Suppose you already know

You're not hollow, you know
You're just corrosive to your gut
It is no diamond vessel
This cheap glass dams the acrid acid
Slowly, but surely, corroding your skin
Pumping in your veins
Game over, friend
Won't you try again?

She won't spill a tear for you, dear
Bask in your irrelevance while you have a chance
She won't spill a tear for you, dear
Bask in your irrelevance while you have a chance
She won't spill a tear for you, dear
Bask in your irrelevance while you have a chance
She won't spill a tear for you, boy
Bask in your irrelevance while you fucking can

Thoughts, they keep knocking on my head
Like a hammer on a nail
As slow and as persistent as a snail
Bothering me again
Sooner or later I'll end up a madman
If that I ain't yet surely I am sad, bad, bald
A tad unlike the lad that one day saw
A world without pain, where we were all the same
Now that I think about it guess I truly was insane
Afraid of death, deaf to the worries of the frightened
Enlightened with the burden that is knowledge
I try to find the courage to mortgage me
And thus engage in a less messed up dream
Shrugging less is an advance
I wonder for how long I will keep over the fence
Reassembling our future as a species
Veni vidi vici

We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we

Are weak, slowly becoming obsolete
Recklessly refusing to be meek
Swaying in the crisis
Like a leaf floating between kites
Well, don't mind us
The best we could do is a little fuzz
Wasted time you can never get it back
So feast your ears and enjoy while it lasts

We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we
We know we are
We know we

Are grim, nonetheless we don't hesitate to be
That's what differs us from these freaks
Wearing a smile on their faces
Amazingly their lives are filled with the same disgraces
Don't know if it's stoicism or alienation
Whatever it is, it's messing up our generation
Or maybe these are just confessions of mine
Unimpressed with depression's pressure
May death slowly let me melt

Lighthouse for my ears
Reckon facing my fears wouldn't feel like this
You said you'd disappear
But hey, that's foolish
Try and hide, try and seek
While you're at it
Try and be a little less of a complete mess
See through mind's attic
Not as fragile as I'm emphatic

Just forget what we've done
Just move on
Now, nothing is wrong
Move

She's the legacy of the undead
Frostbitten by Death herself
They say her victims lay knee deep in a bottomless fire pit
Some call life, some call hell

Burn them all, burn them all
This sea of ruthless 'Brutuses' just waiting to maul
And stab at our back's when the time is right
You see she's among them, our blight

Don't forget what we've done
Just move on
Say nothing is wrong
Move

Overjoyed by the freedom and the laughs
He dares to try and break his comfort zone and
As simples as that, the time bomb has blown
(Bow!) Look around
You're waltzing in the void
Wishing time could be erased instead of only wasted

Girl, in this room we're farther away than the Earth is to the Dark Side of the Moon
Your eyes beckoning, as if in a plea can be rather ambiguous to me

So the phantom limb was severed
Weirdly, no blood splattered
They say the best stories always have an end
So I assume ours won't then

Girl, in this room we're farther away than the Earth is to the Dark Side of the Moon
Your eyes beckoning, as if in a plea can be rather ambiguous at the very least

I can see the dark
I can see them die
Slowly in our hearts
The undying sound of silence
Hitting the doors

Covered by the moonlight, where we have our shattered
Go vampire to the moonlight embrace our shoulders
Go vampire to the moonlight, where we have drowned
Covered by the moonlight where we have our shattered hearts

Covered by the moonlight, where we have drowned
Covered by the moonlight where we have our shattered hearts

All night long, every night they come
Crawling, sluggish, leg to neck
closer and closer to your head
One of those diseases that exposes what's beneath us
Well, you may hide from me, but not from yourself

Stuck in a puzzle of some sort
Lost in a rail-less train of thoughts
Catch a glimpse of what it could but will never be
Shake it away
Repeat

Like a question mark it slithers and barks
In my head
Another knot, another thread
Seven days spent mad
But it'll go down
And it will spread
Not know
Eventually, and then suddenly
A final calm
Your very own lullaby

Shining like a leaf kissing the sun
Luring you to play that day
Just another stone in a cold and lonely road
And the reverie slips away
