lyrics

Prisoners to stolen warmth and shelter
To all unnecessary costs
Arise thereafter
For the worker is now dead
Murdered in a lifetime
Bought out by the riches
Of mere potentiality
And the virtues of
Self and determination
An afterbirth laid cradled
In a flood of virginal blood
Worn in semantic morality
On a debated and indebted plate
Cast out by a crucifix
Turned upon itself
Polished by the pain of another
And now we are nothing
Nothing but a shell of dimensions
Portioned by the state
Gifted in soured triads
One for freedom
One for value
And one for gilded misfortune
For we all believe
In struggle before celebration
And nothing
Not a thing in this life is free
And this life is the only life
So spend what can be spent
And savor the deep sleep
For nothing is everything
And perhaps some good
Will be present some day
But what good is to come from deceit
To live blindfolded by circumstance
To bite the hand that never feeds
For we never asked
To be fed in such a manner
By totalitarian dogma
We must pity it all
A joke
A fucking joke
What good is an afterlife
To believe there’s
A daisy-chained field of bucolic dreams
Awaiting us in the sky
Where is that field now
For now we are struggling
Each and every one of us
Awaiting assistance
Buying time with little monetary means
Harping on good memory
To keep us sober but still distrustful
I believe in none of it
I believe only in the unifying ethos
Of communal construction
For these are ideals
We all transcend
A transcendence that will lead us forth
Onward to a brighter future
Though the distance seems dark
While balanced in the near
As time beats into calamity
As we fade into simplicity
As reverie is met once more
And we will fall
We will fall into delusion
We will struggle
Struggle in sight

Finding the light
Finding the light
