Veins
Embracing Despair: Unveiling the Depths of Shallow Truths' 'Veins'
Lyrics
We're told to live a lie
We are instructed to lead a false life.
Just enjoy the ride
Embrace the journey without questioning.
Quit your bitching it's a system made for suicide
Discouragement is dismissed; the system is designed for self-destruction.
Better pay your dues
Meet your obligations, even if it involves harming yourself.
Through the self-abuse
Accept the toll of self-mistreatment.
Nothing new left to choose
No new choices left; everything seems worn out.
Do they seem amused?
Is there any joy or interest from those enforcing this?
Fuck you
A strong expression of defiance or rejection.
Recognized by the void left inside
Being acknowledged by the emptiness within oneself.
I am nothing
A self-perception of insignificance.
You rely on the constant lie
Dependence on a continual falsehood.
By which you must abide
Abiding by the fabricated reality imposed.
Victimized by the hands that feed us
Suffering at the hands of those who provide for us.
We are nothing
A collective realization of nothingness.
Walking into our own demise
Heading towards our own destruction.
Why do we seem so satisfied?
Questioning why satisfaction persists in this downward spiral.
Say what you want while your life slips away
Express yourself while time slips away, but outcomes remain uniform.
Ending all the same
All conclusions lead to the same end.
Carry the pain as a chemical state
Bearing the agony as a result of a chemically induced state.
Coursing through your veins
This pain courses through one's veins.
Slowly giving up
Slowly surrendering to despair.
Nowhere left to go
No options left, feeling trapped.
Nowhere left to hide
No refuge remaining.
It's creeping up, I've given up no end in sight
Anxiety is escalating with no apparent resolution.
When will it ever end, ever end this time?
A plea for an end to the perpetual struggle.
I can't get away from what lives inside
Unable to escape the internal torment.
Give thanks to the machine
Acknowledging and appreciating the destructive influence of the machine/system.
As it makes you bleed
The machine causing harm and making one bleed.
Cause a life worth taking
Because a life worth ending is a tragedy in progress.
Is a tragedy in the making
Highlighting the sorrowful inevitability of a life spiraling into tragedy.
A tragedy in the making
Reiteration of the tragic destiny in the making.
Recognized by the void left inside

I am nothing

This pain courses through one's veins (repeated).
