The Agonist
...and Their Eulogies Sang Me to Sleep.
All I heard was the sound of fish who'd drowned
All I saw was the inside of my eyelids
All I said fell short of reaching open
Words floating, clouding the view
See no, hear no,speak no evil
Leaves you deaf dumb and blind
Because the bad is all you'll find
A deeply heart-felt goodbye
to part to the part of me that died.
When I decided to put others before me
Yes my heart felt asleep-boredom and fatigue
I always said I wanted to die smiling
To pretend I'm at peace
Now from my corpse beams a frigid, black grin
Like a lullaby to a cradle
Is the eulogy to the casket
All my flaws swept under the table
To grieve the porcelain doll that was me
Their solemn songs sang me to sleep as my body escaped me
(2x)
Such a shameful masquerade!
Floating frozen minutes on display
Why is evolution such a shameful thing so say?
Can you feel you'r bodily decay?
Because I sure as Hell feel my brain going blank,
if my body betrays me, there's pollution to thank.
This condition infects my cells like it controls my mind
Internal Army, defend me behind enemy lines!
Fragile vehicle of mine!
Don't abandon me yet!
There is so much to live for
That we so easily forget!
Fascinati on with the fear
The concept escapes me
All encompassing fate
How it wrenches our hearts
Torments our souls
And sings us all to sleep
To an eternal keep
No matter what beliefs
It sweetly sings us all
