A Fabricated Life

(álbum: The Great Dismal - 2020)

Trust
Trust beyond faith
Giving in
Living in
Thoughts
Beneath the surface
That never serviced
You or I
Words
Words that tie things
Knots for seizing
But nevermind

What else can I ask for?
I've pummeled through my time

Blood
Blood that binds me
Flows inside
Shows in time
Trapped
In skin that fits me
But never fit me
Was never mine

What else can I ask for?
I've pummeled all my time
No need for an acquittal
Or serenaded lies

Long before the fall
Did we have it all along?
Sing the same old songs
Beat the same old tired drums

Long before it all
Or did we have it all along?
Sing the same old songs
Beat the same old tired drums

But what else can I ask for?
I'm nauseous from the ride
Degeneration in the wind
A fabricated life
