Lyrics
Clench my fist under my smile
Clenching the fist beneath a smiling exterior
To make it last another while
Striving to prolong a positive facade
Fake the fast, learning the slow
Faking speed while learning at a slower pace
A church is burning, what a show
Observing a burning church, possibly metaphorical chaos
Heal your wounds, the giant hole
Healing physical wounds while the heart remains cold
While the heart is black and cold
Experiencing emotional numbness despite attempts to heal
loss of words, losing again
Being at a loss for words and facing repeated losses
Compromised the very end
Compromising integrity or values until the very end
And all this time
Reflecting on the passage of time
Nothing feels right
Expressing a general sense of discomfort or dissatisfaction
See the mysteries unfold
Witnessing mysteries unravel as one follows orders
When you do what you've been told
Emotional response to following instructions with tears and shame
The tears you cry, trembling with shame
Highlighting the heavy price paid, losing everything
The price you pay, you lost it all
Forgetting to heed the call of human nature
Forgot to hear our nature call
Perceiving a forsaken future
I see a future left behind
And all this time
Reiterating the persistent feeling of things being amiss
Nothing feels right
And all this time
Continuing the theme of discomfort and dissatisfaction with time
Nothing feels right
Reaffirming the ongoing sense of unease
Oh yeah
Expression of frustration or resignation
