lyrics

A brief sense of purpose to be drowned in abstraction
Inculcation through blood
As ideology dissolves in the dullest illumination
An archetype of grief

Synapses chafe and callous from running in circles.
The staticy hiss of self-projection
A feedback loop of spoon-fed identity
The crooked gouging of a charlatan's epitaph

A vast expanse of concrete and mud, painted in gold and stinking of shit
The swamp of the ego
The alter of futility and human extinction
No tail left to swallow

A philosopher's rant and the screeching of jackals
Half trick and lure, half vain expression
An apothecary for half-wits and mummers
A threadbare stage constructed of one's own feathers

Synapses chafe and callous from running in circles.
The staticy hiss of self-projection
A feedback loop of spoon-fed identity
The crooked gouging of a charlatan's epitaph

So let us chant these words as if they were our own
As we struggle to chisel our effigy into pillars of ash
So let us huff the fumes of methane and sulfur
As we remind ourselves that we all "did our best"
