about
from the self titled debut EP
lyrics
Withering at the roots
Here at your funeral, attendees of mixed failures
Alone, beside yourself, your wake a sad digression
Tears pour down from the faces to your own
Weeping now at your own funeral
All the lovely diseases of childhood
Hidden away like a grain of sand
Since the dawn of time man has been diseased
No point of reference, nor frame of health
Only light years of deferred progress
How radiant we dance and feverishly cling to life
As we grapple with god, disease, science, and anxiety
Here we are laughing at the madman, as we don’t understand
Here we are the madmen, laughing as we don’t understand
Tears pour down from the faces to your own
Weeping now at you own funeral
All the lovely diseases of childhood
Hidden away like a grain of sand
The great Sun of mystery is setting a forecast of darkness
Accompanied by a mass – nervous – laughter
Withering at the roots you cant even squeeze a thin spray of hope,
for this glorious collapse has you gnawing blindly
Frantically , faltering, groping for expression
A divine stuttering, an incongruent anomaly
This death is a lie – a false aberration
Each step in life opening a greater horizon to which there is no escape
A world full of dreamers- whose dreams cant escape the mind
To imagine a new world – death must step in first
Constantly killing and recreating with each step
Insufficient, you spit on the past a claim the future
While withering at the roots
