lyrics

Vox Humana.

I'm proud of you.
As fearless in your death as you were alive.
The blue pill for the masses,
For the bitterness inside.

When the thoughtfulness concludes
That there's nothing left to lose,
Emotions, feelings?
That's not something I can use.

Die for a shilling, for the crown,
By mistake, by your lover's hand.
...For God's sakes,
But did you find peace, you were looking for?

I can't tell you how to live,
I can tell you how to end it.
Mind paralyzed by fear,
But your instincts will defend you.
...Should your intellect not prevail.

O Vanity!
Dirt, you're no pinnacle of creation.
O Vanity!
Just dwell in your own reflection.

Father, O Father-
I'm deep in the ground,
But the shit of this world keeps spinning
Like merry-go-round,
Here we go again!

I found seclusion's equivalent death,
Forever mine, that's all I have.
While you're twisting and turning,
The passion is burning.
I cross my arms on my chest.

You'll find me cryptic, but that is alright.
The empty smiles, the words I write
Are perfect reflection of what's inside.

In a thousand years what will remain?
Not your desperate ego, claims to fame.
Shape the world in your image?
You're no God.
But I am.

Don't call me your brother,
Don't call me your man.
I'm the same worthless flesh, but in my domain,
I'm the Sovereign.
Estranged to the world -therefore I am.
