Civilized to Nothing

by ILLS

/
1.
One hundred thousand bad intentions Imprisoned jailors, drunken sailors Someone to blame us, someone to hate us Someone to tame us, god claim us Look down on us, god tame us It doesn't mean that I've lost my faith Me and god just haven't spoken yet Maybe both it and I got lost in Babylon Lost in Babylon It doesn't mean that I've lost my faith Me and god just haven't spoken yet Even hippies want their share of the violence And the house of god is so perfectly silent Lost in Babylon
2.
The heart dies a slow death Life's nothing but a whore's chore Short-term tell-tale To no avail you tuck your tail The weak and the willess Legs too brittled to take a stand Empty words fall short When it's the root that lacks heart Cowards get devoured Here's a sword for you to fall on Cornered with self-hate A dirty disguise you've paint The release date's now or never The end date's gone forever Built yourself inside the walls Ten feet high seeing nothing at all When you finally get around to open the door Everyone's long gone You are all alone Down your surface crept You are all alone You're done, you're done, you're done And I hate it
3.
Blues, hounds, crossroads and two black eyes to hold the secrets in Send each thought to sleep one by one and hold the secrets in A million ways to go insane My mind's gone, my mind's gone I've shut myself for far too long My mind's gone, my mind's gone Haunt, guilt, grief wears a man down, isms matter not Beliefs, love, a man's hate the truth will out and mind becomes none A million ways to go insane My mind's gone, my mind's gone I've shut myself for far too long My mind's gone, my mind's gone

Pantheon 07:28
In the pursuit of happiness I appear missing The silence is so perfectly silent Universe take me The world is wild and open Pain, imperfection, impermanence To be nothing is to be something And the universe will take you
