Beyond The Embrace

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...
