Drowning - Only Crime

I know this time is real

Fashion what I feel

I’ve seen this face before, and now it all comes back

Too cynical to watch it fall

Dismiss it all as logical

Can’t find a way to wash it down

Are we too frail to see our vague transparencies?

Keep it all alive, one more strike upon this life

Just let the sun shine away

Sincerity betrays the final apathy

Blind to vacancies that bring us to our knees

Fail to find respect but this is what we get

Defined by effigies, familiar tendencies to wash the honesty away

Are we too frail to see our vague transparencies?

Keep it all alive, one more strike upon this life

Just let the sun shine away

Sincerity betrays the final apathy

See it unfold, lies bought an sold

These wear the old ways down

Staggered in fate, drowning too late

Left for the cold days now

Liars in chains, debts we’ve arranged, circling behind these walls

Patience we hide, still burning inside, tired and betrayed once more

Stark open eyes, desperate lies, counting their failed ways home

Lost, without time, reason declines

Swallowed by fear once more
