I’m empty in your eyes. I’ve twisted internal cries. that set me apart from the ties, that binds us. Whispering all these lies. Destroying so many lives. Not the one on the side of the righteous. Delusional you the one posed to be dutiful per usual now I’m on the edge of this pistol trying not to to let it blow
ETERNAL CRIES / POISON LIES
Eternal cries claw through the spine of the night
Voices of the damned choking out the light
Every prayer twists when it leaves the mouth
Truth decays fast when it’s fed by the south
Poison lies drip from a silver tongue
Rotting the air in the lungs of the young
Promise salvation, deliver the knife
Sell us the cure, then bleed us for life
I hear the screams in the marrow of bone
A thousand dead gods calling me home
Their words are venom, their touch is disease
Faith turned to chains, dropped to my knees
ETERNAL CRIES
RIPPING THE SKY
POISON LIES
BLOOD IN DISGUISE
Swallow the venom, they call it belief
Bury the doubt underneath the deceit
Crowned by corruption, enthroned in decay
Built on the backs of the ones thrown away
The truth is a corpse with a smile sewn on
Paraded around till the meaning is gone
Every confession’s a loaded gun
Pointed at the heart of the chosen one
ETERNAL CRIES
ECHO THROUGH TIME
POISON LIES
CHOKING THE MIND
Breakdown:
SPIT IT OUT
CUT IT FREE
BURN THE VEIL
LET ME SEE
No more sermons carved out of fear
No more prophets feeding the smear
I’ll rip the venom out of my veins
Let the screams wash away the stains
Eternal cries still tear at my head
But I won’t kneel to the words of the dead
Poison lies lose power and shape
When the truth crawls out of the grave
ETERNAL CRIES
I SURVIVE
POISON LIES
LEFT TO DIE
From the ashes of mouths that lied
I rise unbound, unpoisoned, alive
