We are of a time
And of a place
We can't escape
What's come before
Must not remain
The past is gone
But lingers on
And keeps us still
All through our lives
In ways that we
Can't recognize
It has a weight
It only grows
It cuts apart
Right to the heart
This is the mind
I call my own
Such a sorry state to call home
Can't read the news can't pick up the phone
Can't take a hint
Can't take a joke
Can't get a laugh
Only a choke
I try to run
I feel my bones
I fear my breath
I fear the fold
Can't face the mirror can't face the cold
So I lose myself in love
A careful game to conceal the void
Just a delusion to soothe the soul
We need delusions to keep control
And now I've said it the air is clear
You've seen the darkness and you're still hear
What little comfort confines the fear
What little comfort, we'll find it here
So if want me then show me how
Accept your nature, accept it now
Forget your dignity, fuck your pride
There's only one rule: nothing to hide
It's always dark
