lyrics

WE CRAWLED OUT OF THE WATER SOAKING WET
ANGRY LUNGS FULL OF SURFACE AIR GASPING
WE TOOK APART THE WORLD IN VENGEANCE FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING OUR PLACE
AND THERE WERE NO GODS TO WEEP FOR US
THERE WERE NO GODS TO BLESS US
WE TAUGHT OURSELVES TO BREAK THROUGH THE ATMOSPHERE
AND LOOK BACK DOWN AT OURSELVES
DID WE LIKE WHAT WE SAW? DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?
WE’VE MADE A NAME FOR OURSELVES, KNOWN FOR CRUELTY AND INDIFFERENCE
THE COMBINATION OF WHICH HAS SLAYED MULTITUDES
WE MADE IT OUR FACTORY SETTING
AND SALTED THE EARTH BEHIND US
AND THERE WERE NO GODS TO SHOW US MERCY

WE TOOK APART THE MIND AND CAST IT IN SILICON
UNFOLDED THE GRAY IN HOPES IT WOULD CHANGE
BUT WE’RE STILL WAITING

THE WATER’S RISING SO ITS TIME TO PREPARE
TO GO BACK TO THE WATER
THE WAY WE CAME OUT: CRAWLING
IN HUMILITY
BEG THE WATERS TO TAKE US BACK
TO LET US COME HOME
THE WATER’S RISING AND AFTER YEARS OF GASPING
AND ASKING FOR A SIGN TO SHOW US THE WAY
WE SEE CLEARLY NOW
THERE ARE NO GODS TO WEEP FOR US
WE HAVE ONLY OURSELVES AND WATER
RISING TO MEET OUR EYES
BEFORE LONG WE’LL BE SWIMMING
OR WE WON’T
SINKING DOWN DEEP BREAKING THROUGH THE ABYSS
AND LOOKING BACK UP AT OURSELVES
DO WE LIKE WHAT WE SEE? DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?

VISUALIZE THE COLLAPSE
SKIN OF METAL GUTS OF WAX
INNER TURMOIL A CRACKED FACADE
AND YOU CAN PRAY TO NO GOD
VISUALIZE THE COLLAPSE
GET READY TO CRAWL BACK HOME
DISCONNECTED AND ERASED
AND YOU HAVE NO GOD TO BLAME
