Pray for Me
Seeds of Suffering: Unveiling the Depths in 'Pray for Me'
Lyrics
Command and repose and perfect posture
Commanding control and composed demeanor, projecting an ideal image
Set up to segregate afflictions we foster
Established to separate and isolate the problems we nurture
The words fall dead, slip down the side
Expressions or messages lose impact or meaning
The wounded risen up and taken from the worst ride
Those hurt rise up and break away from their detrimental experiences
Out in the cold when we speak solid breath
When discussing, visible breath in the cold air
We make our moves under cover of death
Actions are taken discreetly or secretly amidst death
Outside the walls with the sick and insane
Among those who are sick or mentally unstable outside societal confines
No shade or shelter from the shame-flavored rain
No protection or refuge from the rain of shame
And I can see it's the same as before
Recognizing repetition of past patterns
Condemned to suffer the seeds we have sown
Condemned to endure the consequences of actions
To the degree that we reject and deny
Rejecting and denying to such an extent
Too greedy, too selfish to try
Too focused on personal gain to make an effort
Deadbolt the mind, unplug the phone
Locking the mind, disconnecting from communication
Deny the promise of what's freely been shown
Refusing what's readily available or offered
Just turn away, pretend it's not there
Ignoring a problem as if it doesn't exist
The strings of ignorance grown too sick to care
Remaining ignorant to the point of being uncaring
Out on an island of self-centered spite
Isolated in selfish animosity
Lay in our beds under cover of night
Lying in bed hidden by the darkness
Curl up and weep, narcissistic in vain
Emotionally self-absorbed and weeping without reason
No shade or shelter from the shame-flavored rain
No protection or refuge from the rain of shame
And without a shift in course
Without altering the current direction or path
We will approach our destination
Approaching the destination or outcome
Can you deny it?
Questioning the denial of it
Throughout the flames that scorch the civility
Amidst intense conflicts that destroy civility
Right off the page of a selfish history
Reflecting behaviors from a history of self-centeredness
The tide turns to create it's union
A change occurs, seeking unity or harmony
Now's our chance, time to disconnect
A chance to break away, reclaiming dignity and respect for a system
Preserve some dignity, a system to respect
Validated and confined to struggles of hopelessness
It's been justified and relegated
Too deep in despair to even feign concern
We bog down in our symptoms of despair
---
Too far along to pretend we even care
Too late to pretend to care anymore
Pretend you fucking care
Urging to pretend to care despite the futility
