Lyrics
Here we exist upon the cliff tops
Existing on the edge of a precipice
Exhausted and empty
Weary and drained
Sneering into the darkness below
Contemptuously gazing into the abyss
Wet palms, coppery and thick
Hands moist with blood, dense and viscous
Lines of red to mark our progress
Red marks symbolizing our journey
But to what end?
Questioning the purpose or outcome
We are a part of this plague
Acknowledging our participation in a destructive force
Unclean and nai"ve we climb upon the cross
Impure and inexperienced, ascending the crucifix
To be crowned?
Aspiring to be recognized or honored
This will deaden all but the brightest lights
This choice will numb everything except the most intense lights
And I personify the black i am despair
Identifying with darkness and hopelessness
The futility and the frustration
Expressing the sense of pointlessness and frustration
These two hands make liars of us all
Hands implicated in deception and untruths
Denial and disaster are mine
Claiming ownership of denial and catastrophe
Step up to the gallows, defeated and lost
Approaching defeat and feeling lost
Fall away
Descending or fading away
Resign yourself to this faithless leap
Accepting a faithless plunge
For there can be no half measures
Emphasizing the necessity of complete commitment
And the noose is already around our necks
Already entangled in the inevitability of consequences
Jerk awake with the revelation
Awakening abruptly to a profound realization
And dangle above the maggots
Suspended above decay and decomposition
The twine exists as the separator
Highlighting the thread as a divider or separator
Through suffocation and sodden eyes
Through lack of air and tear-filled eyes
She will not hold
A feminine entity refusing to support
