156/Silence - Live to See a Darker Day lyrics

By the skin of your sharpened teeth
You waited to sink them in
The tiles made of porcelain
Reflected lights approaching in
The shine of flashing bulbs
That spin for trial
Fill the room we’re in
The creases of the seams that meet will run
With the blood you drew from me

Just for the cause, without a motive
At hand, you had my heart
The other wielded a brand to leave your mark
And bleed me down where I stand
It wasn’t part of the plan and I’m still
Working on the fall of our oneness
Gone in abundance
The pressure’s on to make a resurgence
The number taunting with a
Flaunt of emergence
See but disregard this signal
Discerning me from inclinations
I’m rapacious for the ways to burn it
Caved in with debris from the wreck
Left ridden since I slipped from the form
I’ve dispatched to decimate the warmth
I’ll retract and replicate the storm
Flood, lack of assurance
And the deterring pause that’s deafening
If only miracles ever came to
Be a commonly intoned chant
Of harmony then I would
Knot off every juncture
Puncturing every lung that dares to
Sing along to callow tones
Ostentatiously the ones to always
Boast of prosperity
Prosthetic hearts
Bones prefabricated
Pupils dilating
All for you to entertain it

So be still
Have a seat with me and
Take this pill of happiness
The sky won't open up unless your
Smile has escaped your lips
For miles I’ve been wondering
This denial is a son of a bitch
The victors chose the narratives but I
Wrote something for the sick ones
