LYRICS: Condescension [2009]

Condescension

You’re not that unresponsive
Afraid to carry on, left
Sealed in a vacuum
Everything she told you
Is choking in your airway
Trying to fight the deadweight
The switch is on a relay
To certify and ordain -

The thought you, submit to, a read-through
Now I am dealing in lies you, commit to, I breed you…

Put the gun down and go home
Put the gun down and go home

I came here to disarm you
And keep you safe from harm you
Convulse and writhe inside my head
And held against her will by
A move to keep you still, I
Can kill the rapist twice instead

Then my existence shattered
Everything that mattered
Torn apart and scattered
Dead, imprisoned, leaving this world an aberration
Plague and devastation
The howl of immolation
Caught -

I wrote a thousand lines, lives, lies
Set in the firing line, you lied, you lied...

Put the gun down and go home
Put the gun down and go home

I came here to disarm you
And keep you safe from harm you
Convulse and writhe inside my head
And bound against her will by
A move to keep you still, I
Can kill the rapist twice instead

Correct this fault in the sky
The rains that pour from her eyes
The rapture forged in July
Was blown to Hell in a tide of fire, a tide of fire

With eyes of pure intention
The lies and condescension
Betrayed her laughing in my head

And bound against her will by
A move to keep you still, I’d
Give anything to feel again...
