Weak And The Wounded - Beyond The Embrace

Closed eyes that walk among us, building castles in the air

Lost in degeneration, absence in all you know

Shed skin to hide reflection leaving no trail behind

Neck deep in contradiction

Forked tongue behind the smile

Making its way in the dark

About to decide which way to go

A life of disdain, a world left unchanged

Condemned to swim against the grain

The sun sets on existence, as one drowns in the flow

The bending sea forever circles around us all

We’ve built a culture where ignorance is bliss

Brought unto this world human inflicted

Why should we fall to the masses each day?

Why did we come this far to just turn back anyway?

We’re auditioning for our own demise, and immune to the screaming

So tie me up alone, far from the system hold

I feel no patience, I see no cure

Evolved in reverse

Rise, fall… it's your choice

How did it all come to this???

I want to know why…
