The Haunted

The Drowning

The Haunted


High on fire and solid confidence 
Truthful rantings but no one is listening 
Check collateral, sweep the corners 
The fear of words in a fucked-up reality 

Steal my freedom of speech my liberty 
Fail my rights to express myself 
All this half-lied semperfi stone-faced bullshit 
Infecting me to deplete my design 

I'm drowning in the fear of gods 
The more I see the less I want 
I was not raised to shut my mouth 
But as long as it holds me 
I'll fight it and scold it 
All my life ! 

Merge and fold to avoid complexity 
All we know is a backfire parody 
Know your place see no malady 
Shut your hole and accept the abuse 
Let it burn ! Let it burn ! Let it burn ! 
I don't care if we all go down 
Let it burn ! Let it burn ! Let it burn ! 
I don't care if we all go down 

I'm drowning in the fear of gods 
The more I see the less I want 
I was not raised to shut my mouth 
But as long as it holds me 
I'll fight it and scold it 
All my life ! 

As I close my eyes I can see it now 
In sepia twilight sundown to the sound of electrical eyes 
The obedient sons and the daughters all perfectly in line 
All hail, raised hands in impeccable synchronicity 

I'm drowning in the fear of gods 
The more I see the less I want 
I was not raised to shut my mouth 
But as long as it holds me 
I'll fight it and scold it 
All my life !
