Misshapen Intent

Anacrusis


Wandering aimlessly 
Stricken with grief 
Self-hatred overflowing 
It's eating away 
It's eating away 
Obstructing virtue 
Overwhelming and growing 
The enduring might of hatred 
Obscuring the strength of love 

There are some who live deriving pleasure 
From others' anguish 
And mental distress 
Complete selfishness 
Provides a purpose 
Compelling us to digress 
The enduring might of hatred 
Obscuring the strength of love 

Tainting the innocent 
With spiteful contempt 
Tainting the innocent 
A shallow, misshapen intent 

Oblivious to our hardship 
Rehearse the solemn ritual 

Oblivious to our hardship 
Rehearse the solemn ritual 

Wandering aimlessly 
Stricken with grief 
Self-hatred overflowing 
It's eating away 
It's eating away 
Obstructing virtue 
Overwhelming and growing 
The enduring might of hatred 
Obscuring the strength of love 

Tainting the innocent 
With spiteful contempt 
Tainting the innocent 
A shallow, misshapen intent
