lyrics

The product
Of weak-willed faux-ambition
Now
The breaking
Foundations half-constructed in shit

The promise
An act of restoration
Tarnished and blemished
By those who
dare not the paths of the sun

Never-ending
Prosperity
You will not strive to build it
Now
A reckoning
Damning all
For failing to reach for the sky

By the end of all of the corners you've cut
There you stand
A half-assed nothing
Claiming something
Real

Soul dysentery
You swill in it
The filth of it
It's all over your hands
Your lips
And leaking out of your brain

We will
Live
To see the end
Of all this fake impunity
Then we'll claw out our eyes
Wishing to weep for our lies

These pillars of shit
Aren't worth the tears
We wipe
yet remain...
Yet remain unclean

Your
Weak will
Your
Trite mind
Self
Aggrandized
Sloth
King-sized

Ever the proud
Self-congratulatory
Basked in the pale glow of mediocre
Stool

Your weak will
Is ripe for the crushing
Your trite mind
Is ripe for the washing
These bloated bowels
Are ripe for the flushing
Are sore from the scrubbing
With shredded excuse for a wipe

No
amount of
diluted pulp
Can sop it up
Can save you from
Shitting your life away

Frantically
You try
To cover up
To staunch it up
with nothing more
than paper-thin
Poor excuses

To soak it up
The mess
Sprayed from an anus
That's pulsing and heaving
A watery goo
Saturated with regret
Of dreams only dreamed
Goals only set
Never attained
No
