All But Fleeting

You've got no earthly talents No hint of substance here Alone is your method You've got so much to fear. Beneath shuffling footsteps Worlds contort and shear The cracks appear to show you Recede and die right there. Blurry sight, the danger heightens Tears you apart to see Just what laughs as you stumble? These veins of destiny. The night stalks, and it will find you Paint a smile for the enemy Washed clean as you're drowning There's nothing left to see Wake up! The cycle's turning Attracted by sweet sin All of this, it's all but fleeting Forever trapped, you'll never win A weighted hand holds your comfort This time you'll see within Who'd have guessed the hate that's in you? Held just beneath the skin.
