The jumbled froth of life A frayed tapestry of ruin Made sodden by the rain Concealing a malignant thought Those ancient instincts Become my own tormentor Filled with the reek of forests in decay Merging dark in the webbed greasy darkness Singing for the road These levelling times A brainless mechanical automation of jangling discord Within the silt of memories liquidated to the transitory currency of destruction A drowsy chaos of reasoned passions written on the passing wave Dawn - hints at the shape of things - flexes Through the struggles of our ancestors Forever haunting the abbreviated memory of flesh In our braided stream of citizenry We are all the dead and dying..

Dead Inside
The jumbled froth of life A frayed tapestry of ruin Made sodden by the rain Concealing a malignant thought Those ancient instincts Become my own tormentor Filled with the reek of forests in decay Merging dark in the webbed greasy darkness Singing for the road These levelling times A brainless mechanical automation of jangling discord Within the silt of memories liquidated to the transitory currency of destruction A drowsy chaos of reasoned passions written on the passing wave Dawn - hints at the shape of things - flexes Through the struggles of our ancestors Forever haunting the abbreviated memory of flesh In our braided stream of citizenry We are all the dead and dying..
