False Divinity

I deny my eyes to the violence To die inside with a price Guilt weighing on my conscience And no restraint for the fury that rises Drive the nail through vacant enclosures Forced to hide behind a fence for the damned Feeding on toxicity, it's virulent Consumed unconcerned, a brand so permanent Outreached hands meant for sustenance Are bound by apathetic offenders Your filthy fingernails are gripped to a chalice Forged from the spines of the overburdened Set ablaze, reanimate Through suffering we will remain Will remain Shadowed by piercing eyes that graze across your back So fade into a place that feeds your emptiness All of your intentions are burdened by riches False divinity feasting with the wretched Wishing for better days Your misguided eyes are blinded by the shine Washed up and sent away You felt more alive when you died on the inside Set ablaze, reanimate Through suffering, we will remain This is all that it takes Set ablaze when you're too close to the flame Barely breathing Set ablaze, reanimate Forged inside the flames You placed the blame and hid your shame Cover your face Remember what you stood for Became erased, you've been betrayed and led astray Embrace the end of your false divinity I am the idling violence I am the fear in your silence
