Ascendancy - Typhus

Worthless in meaning

I’d climb higher and higher

Until the roof caved in

Now I’m treading through water

Trying to find what’ll make

Me whole inside

But nothing can focus

All of my pain into artistry

Shit through the eyes

Of a mild creator

Chasing a dying dream

Everything I have done

Everyone I have lost

Never compares to the story I’ve dropped

I only want you to see

How I view this world

Ruled by hypocrisy

Everything I have done

Everyone I have lost

Never compares to the story I’ve dropped

I only want you to see

How I view this fucked up world

That lives off me

I won’t be anyone’s martyr

I’ll die for a reason that no one believes in

For one more look at you

I won’t be anything

I can’t be the only one

I hold my heart out

Till the second that the

Last drop hits the ground

Now I am awakened

It’s not until I spill my guts

Along the pavement

That you will reconcile

Why can’t you recognize

The power of fact and

Beauty in violence

I am the shepherd, the common man

The messenger of fate and worry

I put the words in the serpent’s hiss

That’ll dry you out

And make you sorry

I preach the word of your common values

The truth you can’t un-see

Everything I have done

Everyone I have lost

Never compares to the story I’ve dropped

Everything I have done

Everyone I have lost

Never compares to the story I’ve dropped

Points made through suffering

You’re alone can’t you see

Everyone around you thinks

The same damn thing

Can’t you see how

The night grows nearer

Filling out the sky

Lost again, still you try

To wish it all away

Can’t you see how

The night grows nearer

Filling out the sky

Lost again, still you try

To wish it all away

Wish it away

Worthless in meaning

I’d climb higher and higher

Until the roof caved in

Now I’m treading through water

Trying to find what’ll make

Me whole inside
