Allegiance to the flesh

Smiling parade of fallacies
Surrounded by empty stares
Deadened by the glare
Of your blank, lost expression

Crawl
Crawl to life

You are kissing the hand that crushes you
Kneeling to arrogance
Pledging allegiance to the flesh

Crawl
Crawl to life

Crawl to your life
Paint yourself a lie
Adore, I obsess
Cover up yesterday

I relinquish the thought of you
Wave your problems away
Everyone loves you

Betrayed by the heartless
Victim of your melting words
Jagged in my mind

Screaming bloody silence
