The Human Residue - Skyliner

A weather weary face

Hollow, sunken eyes

Lips that cannot kiss

Diseased from deep inside

A worn, abandoned place

A fortress made of lies

How did it come to this

One so horrified

They’ll place themselves beside you

They’ll brand themselves upon you

They’ll see themselves unto you

Standing in line with lust in their eyes to possess you

With scar after scar

The things we choose to do

Please take me apart

From the human residue

Scar after scar

The things I couldn’t do

I’ve ruined my heart

With human residue

A soul that’s stretched and thin

A body filled with sin

The weakened voice within

Not again… no, not again

They’ll put themselves inside you

They’ll force themselves onto you

They’ll make themselves to be you

Waiting in line with greed in their eyes to afflict you

With scar after scar

The things we choose to do

Please take me apart

From the human residue

Scar after scar

The things I couldn’t do

I’ve ruined my heart

With human residue

I’ve thrown myself in misery

For the sake of normalcy

Move on, and on, and on and on

Feed the people’s fallacy

The lake of flesh, the piercing burn

More filthy than it’s dirt of birth

Swim the bliss forgiveness is

From the shores of pain on Earth

I can’t hate more intense

We’ve impaled all continence

Objects draining objects

Collecting innocence

A regret is all I am

And regret is all I have

If I could go through time

I pine until the end

To touch, to know

To feel, deep inside

To have, to love

To hold, within the tide

To stave the thirst

To give so vast

To rule among, to share with none

To stay safe in a promise cast

To be the first

To be the last

To be the one, the past undone

To make love under stained glass

I cry, I die

I’ve cried a thousand times

I cry, I die

I’ve died a thousand times inside

Scar after scar after scar is all we do

Washing our spirits away with human residue
