Born of Tar and Fire

Stuck in a cage of flesh and bone Tortured by consciousness I'm drowning in a sea of apathy I scream and welcome darkness to my lungs Echoing the symphony of the noose Why can't I think of an excuse This wretched coil, pulling my strings like a marionette Cruel, rotten fingers guiding me along Through this relentless state of it all Cinders burn my skin The bile bursts from within A seed planted by my need for greed has robbed me again I am the living ghost The soul trapped in this machine A withering flame entombed in this vessel Is there anything left to redeem? Progenitor Failure Polluting the vows that dribbled from my mouth I sought the source, rooted to absurdity Scriptures connect the dots Guided to violence, abolitions of trust When searching for passion one only found lust FEED ME MY ANSWER KEVORKIAN'S CURE Bound between the ashes of legacies Bound to the pyre Bound to the pyre All cleansing fire Cinders burn my skin The bile bursts from within A seed planted by my need for greed has robbed me again I am the living ghost The soul trapped in the machine A withering flame entombed in this vessel Is there anything left to redeem? Progenitor Failure Polluting the vows that dribbled from my mouth Are these the ravings of a mad man? Infectious speech etched into bone A hopeless call for help Forever you're entombed Blood Bark and bone Poison from the earth A Seed in the salted womb May this always haunt you
