DISSONANT TONGUE - Retrospection (Official Audio Stream)
LYRICS:
A predator to some
And a God to none
Beauty desecrated
at the hands of everyone
Rhetoric force-fed
we choke on it until we’re dead
these sentiments of sin
Drown us in the deficit
You won’t remember me
for what I’ve done here
Every beating heart
is blessed to disappear
We’re not worthy of redemption
Let alone fit for affection
Shatter the glass and I’ll remove myself from the curse of retrospection
I cannot resurrect those who have left
but I can join them
We’re better off
when we’re memories
From birth, it was always meant to be
Filling every airway with dirt
Return to dust
Digested by the earth
No worth exists above the skin
Suffocated in flesh
that masquerades the sin
Ashes to ashes
Lust to desire
wither away
like a house on fire
You won’t remember me
for what I’ve done here
Every beating heart
is blessed to disappear
We’re not worthy of redemption
Let alone fit for affection
Shatter the glass and I’ll remove myself from the curse of retrospection
An echo chamber for the deaf
A monument for the blind
An exhibition of devotion
Sent to the love that we’ll never find
