Porcelain
Elegy of Society's Disillusionment
Lyrics
A setting day a way to find
A time of day, a way to discover
A moment's peace for my weary mind
A brief respite for my tired thoughts
A fleeting thought in film exposed
A passing idea captured on film
Celluloid burns skin superimposed
Film burns like celluloid on the skin, blending reality
Awaken to a world shrouded in lies
Waking up to a world veiled in deception
Sunday morning blues, masses euthanized
Sunday morning sadness, masses put to rest
Church bells ring, stained windows lie broken
Church bells chime, stained windows betraying
Daggers withdrawn, don't follow the reverent
Daggers withdrawn, resisting blind adherence
Don't follow the reverent
Emphasizing not to blindly follow the devout
Try and try to understand
Attempting to comprehend
Why the blood of the lord
Questioning why the Lord's blood
Fuels bigots and men
Fuels prejudice and conflict among men
Time after time I look up and wonder
Reflecting on life's struggles and uncertainties
Are we living in hell
Contemplating if our existence is akin to hell
Pain, death here forever
Pain and death seem everlasting
We've burned this bridge a thousand times
Repeatedly damaging relationships, a metaphorical bridge
Stepping lightly in a field of mines
Treading cautiously in a dangerous situation
Path we've walked fill me with sorrow
The journey we've taken fills me with regret
No love in my heart no hope for tomorrow
No love in my heart, no optimism for the future
No hope for tomorrow
Lack of hope for what lies ahead
