(instrumental)
The Ceaseless Suffering
I know you’re there
This world I cannot bear
The horrors both seen and unseen
This violent tide
A terror on all sides
And everyone has gone away
You deceive, connive
Two eagles and a vine
As I sit among the ashes of my past
And so I try to meet
The real world halfway
And hope the shadow man might do the same
And if I can’t be saved,
Let the womb then be my grave
Instead I find I’m born alive
You shield me from help,
Hide me with smiles
I may lose myself,
You’ll still find me in a little while
Snake in the grass
Time doesn’t pass
Still you’re lurking there
In the corner of my stare
Box of Paints
When Nero’s cross is on your wrist,
Don’t look
At the smiling man crawling out
Of the wood
Did she know what she meant when she said that she
Was drawn
To those who weren’t afraid
Of the devil’s fawn
Because all that I’ve made
Or done is wrong
And all of it fake
Not great nor strong
For anyone’s sake
Or worth undone
I should crawl back
To my box of paints
So if palette knives are scraping on
Your skin
Just turn your colours bright, don’t let
Your demons win
In Filth It Will Be Found
This cage of bones
Housing a heart of stone
This prison skin
Hiding my heart of sin
This flightless soul
Grounded in a senseless hole
The quickest pain
Still an endless agony
Stand your ground
Hear the sound
In filth it will be found
Mine or yours?
Which stands and which’ll fall?
Judgement standing tall
Stare into the black
Darkness it stares right back
Stand your ground
Hear the sound
In filth it will be found
This Pigment, Not What This Pig Meant
All that I make
All of it fake
For nobody’s sake
All of this pigment
Not what this pig meant
