Token Gesture

December


In this image you're standing so flawless so utterly perfect 
Yet something is wrong that cannot be placed 
A weapon are your words preaching to convert 
The very ones that you claim to be trying to save 
Passing judgement a blanket statement 
Encompassing nothing exacting the strictest of penalty 
If your will wasn't flawed would you be overcome by your pain 
And is this bleeding ulcer still you faith 
A token gesture a bloodless clot 
Dragged underneath the swallowing ocean 
Failed apparatus delaying the inevitable 
The end of your world begins with your next breath 
Will the weight of your soul drag it all 
Down into the wasteland of the sky 
Funeral pyres seeding the whole of the universe 
Constantly breeding this arson 
Coward accept your own judgement and take a step forward 
Volunteering for the end 
With this breath turn regret into bliss 
And let the world fade away into decay 
A token gesture a bloodless clot 
Dragged underneath the swallowing ocean 
Failed apparatus embrace the end
