underneath the surface
screaming in hunger
beneath the seems
something is breeding
waiting in the shadows
to break us asunder
scavengers of broken dreams
commence the feeding
guilt is their dominion
when nurtured with sorrow
innoncence raped
sanity fading
crawling through the pieces
of lives half devoured
carrion in human shape
are patiently waiting
in trying to rise above the filth
in which i drown each day
i might escape the worms beneath me
but still i can't surpass decay
ever in a moment the joy of salvation
only to be crushed
horror's dilated
high into the dark skies
awaits devastation
talons lashing out
another soul
dessicated
fear is their dominion
when nurtured in terror
innocence dead
minds desecrated
picking at the essence
of all you endeavor
adding to the tragedy
of all that you fated
in trying to rise above the filth
which leads us further in decay
we're awaited by the ones who care
to take our barren hopes away
it's the darkness you fail to perceive
the torment of the souls that long to be free
it's the volatile nature of faith
self loathing turned into hate
your primal intentions revealed
it shows your desires, shows all that you fear
you'll suffer and taste
the decay
you'll suffer and taste
you'll suffer and taste
the decay
you wrangle our thoughts
you question our minds
you envy our lifes
because you're dying inside
the systematic breakdown
of a thousand dreams
the final wake up call
to what you will never achieve
to be
no fucking way
many are the corpses
of those who have faltered
chasing the dream
while lives went sour
and plenty are the numbers
of those who've been altered
gradual inequity
while grasping for power
pain is our dominion
when nurtured with terror
innocence slain
passion abated
we witness how they struggle
to persist the slaughter
all the while they amplify
our unabridged hatred
when passing through the wasteland
in which we've struggle since the dawn of days
we're surrounded by the ones who fail
to see the error of their ways
it's the darkness you fail to perceive
the torment of the souls that long to be free
it's the volatile nature of faith
self loathing turned into hate
your primal intentions revealed
it shows your desires, shows all that you fear
you'll suffer and taste
the decay
