《 Swallow The Depths 》
Gnashing teeth
I cannot sleep
Losing control
Of the grief I keep
Drink the void
Bite my tongue
Taste despair
Then empty my lung
Don't judge me
I'm fucking weak
As words rip and tear
We all desperately seek
But I cannot see
My eyes are sewn
I'm blind to the light
My voice - monotone
Glitches of stitches
We clench on discretions
So digital yet mineral
Trapped inside the tide
Of impressions
We rebel - hide and confide
Of the critical yet cynical
The superficial fuck with us
Us, the pessimistic race
Lashed by the materialistic
Left with scars upon our face
Confined in space,
laced with their disgrace
Those tides will sink us
We will drown
Joy turned to ash
Green turned to the brown
Of decay
Dark and dank
Out of the cup of lies
We drank
As our generation sank
Down so low - so low
Questioning everything
That we ought to know
Saints turned to sinners
No fucking elders
- Only beginners
We cry. We cry
But we're so damn confused
We do not know why
Lies became truth
We are the land of the lost
Falsifying, forever lying
No matter what the cost
The youth thinks they are wise
They can't hear the elders cries
We're muted
By the convoluted
With blocked tears within our eyes
The human race lost forever
Our pens are suddenly blunt
No more rallying together
When societies' a cunt...
Can we kick a field goal
As generation x?
Just a blind attempt
To inspire the next?
We live by the art
And may die by the pen
But if given the chance
We would
Die, and die again
Remain deep and true
Yes, true to yourself
This world full of hate
Could dictate your own health
Keep your head above the water
Don't swallow the depths of blue
Use the paper to make your cuts
Make sure it's the essence of you
We all have one thing in common
The only thing we share is death
So make your words count
Until you take your final breath...
