In Abeyance

(album: As Gomorrah Burns - 2018)

Boom

I was promised a utopia

I've been silenced and isolated
Cast aside human garbage
Tortured monotonous futile existence
Another day, yet another pointless trip

Back and forth to and from
Never ending sardonic dreams
These repetitive motions are torturing me

Hollowed reality all engulfing
Trapped in this life
Sacrifices for our future
They will prosper while we suffer
Can you tell me what's the point?

Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore

Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore

Keystrokes
Keystrokes
Some more keystrokes
Keystrokes
Some more keystrokes
Keystrokes
Some more keystrokes
Keystrokes
Some more keystrokes

Opened doors to a new redemption
A way of life free from all of the shame

Anger burning
Cryptic visions
Primal instincts
Pushed me deeper

Put together with glee
Zip tied and velcroed so carefully
I then tiptoed down the entrance to the end of all

I guess the red wire was misplaced
The searing blast charred my flesh
Finally putting an end to the pain
This dream
Brought upon me
Your dream
Forced upon me

Forced upon me
