The lore recycles and continues All things end And many begin again This is why tradition fades like sin And centuries lose themselves within Moments of unforgivable issues And we assume ourselves with misuse And limit ourselves with disbelief And consume ourselves in fisheye lenses Like we knew ourselves to be prey to predators And lure ourselves into traps of pleasure And confuse ourselves through various measures We dilute our blood with foreign entries And we speak til we're blue in face and ****** And rue our own birth and death cuz We blew ourselves into this mess We drew ourselves this reckless verse And ***** ourselves on every turn But there is a light beyond the stars we think we know There is a distant life we knew upon infringing our own birth stone And anguish may be what we think is answers wrapped in shrouded homes But the truth is that our treasures live beyond time and distance and dismemberment And though the angel cries that she's asleep, she's too awake to compensate She's so alive her blood boils thin and she thinks she might die this very day.
