You've been torn between opposing forces

The drag of this contingent event is unbearable because of these tectonics that shift beneath your feet

It is arrogant to disregard and foolish to turn away

An ignorant bliss does not exist in a reality that ceases to live

You are falling forward while falling back

Too adorned with blemishes that hide the facts

This world around you is drifting, is drifting through an ocean that despises you

And the continent is not content with being connected

You're relative

Until torn and tattered, departed and disgraced

The life you contrive (you contrive) will have no place

Beget and begotten, your will erased

Its geography (its geography) has been razed

You are falling forward while falling back

Too adorned with blemishes that hide the facts

You've been torn between opposing forces

Until torn and tattered, departed and disgraced

The life you contrive will have no place

Until torn and tattered, departed and disgraced

The life you contrive (you contrive) will have no place

Left with only soil beneath your fingernails from the potter's field

Six feet under lay the vaulted graves of bodies that didn't yield

This world around you is drifting through an ocean that despises you

And the continent is not content with being connected

You're relative, you're relative (You've been torn between opposing forces)

Six feet under lay the vaulted graves of bodies that did not yield
