the unbearable fear!
our white washed reality's
thin veneer
is pealing away
revealing the bloated
rotting carcass underneath
spewing dense shadows
& gnashing it's teeth
wailing helplessly the Word
the Word that man
has uttered throughout the ages
on various stages
& through the oppressing bars
of desolate cages
the very Word
that brought us forth from the dark
now haunts our dreams
only passing our lips
through midnight screams
with a jolt
we bolt upright
out of our narcosis
paralyzed by fear
how did we get here?

the unbearable fear!
our white washed reality's
thin veneer
is pealing away
revealing the bloated
rotting carcass underneath
spewing dense shadows
& gnashing it's teeth
wailing helplessly the Word
the Word that man
has uttered throughout the ages
on various stages
& through the oppressing bars
of desolate cages
the very Word
that brought us forth from the dark
now haunts our dreams
only passing our lips
through midnight screams
with a jolt
we bolt upright
out of our narcosis
paralyzed by fear
how did we get here?
