lyrics

Lyrics by Ben Lynch

Forever questioning myself
Do I stand on weakened structures?
Breaking the condition is a difficult feat
When you're confused at your every turn

It burns through my eyes
And sears in my chest
The way the few are living
At the cost of the rest

Mother, you helped me breathe
Gave me shelter, and eyes to see
Every aspect of you lives in me
The children you bore, cast their eyes to the sea
We are so deeply sorry that we all looked away
While they bled you dry, but we're here to stay

With every confidence we take an oath
As the ones who can transform
To the love from the hate

If I turn a blind eye
Drink 'til there's nothing left
Does that make me
An orchestrator of death?

We'll consume ourselves.
