lyrics

Dirt and fumes through the centrifuge
Separating my spirit from me
Twist and turn, what end do you serve?
Can I be both ghost and machine?
Fall asleep and escape to your dreams
But you can't fold the secrets you keep
They're growing as we speak
Sucking you dry with each new sin
Just keep me out of it
These vultures are making me nervous
With blood on their minds they make perfect circles
These vultures are making me nervous
With blood on their minds they make perfect circles
These cowards are keeping me guessing
Is it design or divine interventions?
And though I may hate me skewed ideas, I know
The crooked charms I've sown
And everything I have loved is gone
On this sea of my own design
And built in my skewed vision
Can I be the enlightened one
Drowning in this silo of my own filth
Building everything up on the mud
And giving into my sin
I'd like to blame this on bile, or on blood, or on famine,
But in truth, it was my own design
And as I trade my _______ for nothing, I know
I am the one to defy
Dirt and fumes are the breath I consume
Left alone, just my demons and me
Crash and burn, and what have you learned?
That nothing is quite as it seems
Try to sleep and forget what I've seen
But it's only worse in my dreams
Failing as I speak
Exchanging life for each new sin
I'll just get myself out of it
