about
This track showcases my obvious lyrical influences from A Silver Mt. Zion. I've somewhat adapted the lyric "Musicians are cowards" featured in their track "The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes." I found it so addicting and wanted to offer it up with my own spin. Whereas that aforementioned track seems to have more or less political aspirations, this track feels more personal to me (as it should, as I created it) in that it explores the death of my sister and my depressive tendencies.
lyrics
I lament for the deaf and blind
While the mute verbalize behind tired eyes
Triumphant!
As he consummates with color
An aesthetic finale and stupor
I am convinced my drug addicted savior
Reigns in victorious sleep!
As she slits her wrists and bellows to the godless
Oh, the godless sit upon vacant gallows
Tying their own nooses and in melancholy sadness
Vie for knives to break their beaks
As they stand at the pinnacle of disease
Growing the graves of humanity
From the preliminary communal seedlings
But you reign victorious!
On an Earth consuming the corpse flowers
Of mothers and brothers,
Sisters and fathers
Musicians and cowards
Musicians and cowards
Musicians and cowards
Musicians and cowards
Musicians and cowards
We all cower at the sight of monsters...
You are like the night sky
On a cloudy day in the midst of the city
Polluted and inaccessible to me
But beautiful as you captivate my dreams
Oh, god have mercy on me
We pray to the vacancy
On our prostrate and broken knees
Breath is stolen from me
As I arrive at your murder scene
Oh, god have mercy on me!
Oh, god have mercy on me!
I can't help but feel nothing
Pure apathy and displacency
This is what death has done to me
This is what death has done to me
