about

The 4th track from "Vanity" EP.

lyrics

Brick and mortar,
Entombed -I seek no release.
For, shall a man speak against God?
Shall a man defy his fate?

Doomed to failure, I can only reminisce.
The scent of you; while the memory will fade.
As your heart faded one beat at the time.

We both knew, what I am and who you were.
Chose to ignore.
There was no use to beg and implore.

A victim you're born, a victim you became.
The crimson and gold, this tale is too old,
In the end neither remains.

Should I beg and repent?
Strike the walls with bare hands?
Pray forgiveness for playing God?

A victim you're born, a victim you became.
The crimson and gold, and I am too old
To enjoy this, to savour the pain.

They're afraid of you -they're afraid of themselves.
There's nothing rewarding in aimlessness.

Should I offer a doubt? A point of view?
Should I crush your self-worth when the time is due?

It's a quiet night, in the house of dead leaves.
But the emptiness' growing, gaping hole in your grief.
You will never embrace it -despair's little trick.
You will not understand it, but please don't condemn me.
You've always been too weak.
