God Made God Man / Man Made Man God

1. Everyone Panic!

Lyrics

What is all of this nonsense?
Why did you even try this?
(Why’d you even try this?)
Get it out of our schools
Get it out of our lives
If you think you’re welcome here
You’re in for a surprise
We’ll fight it!
Try us, we’ll deny it
We’re stuck in the days
When dirt paved the way
It’s not that we don’t like it,
But more that we’re oblivious
We’ll take it, we’ll break it
You can’t mistake it
Say all you want
Our ears sewn shut
We’re the commandant

Everyone panic!
We’re manic, tried to ban it
We’re inorganic
Taste. Their. Lies.
(Taste. Their. Lies.)
Waste. Their. Lives.
(Waste. Their. Lives.)
Everyone panic!
Satanic maniacs vanish
It seems like this is an awakening
You feed off of our suffering

I can feel it in your smothering
We need some restructuring

Where do we go from here?
I thought we were clear
This is the holy year
Or was that last year
When he didn’t appear?
The case still stands
That we’re not going to budge
Don’t misjudge, we’ll hold a grudge
Until this all turns to sludge
We don’t need a reason
The reason is the season
If you think we’re being unreasonable
It doesn’t matter, we’re unbeatable

I can feel it in your smothering
We need some restructuring

We’ll hold onto our signs, thanks
We run the largest banks
There’s no need to worry
You’ll just need to hurry
To see our point of view
The argument’s over, we’re through

I can feel it in your smothering
We need some restructuring

We need some restructuring

2. God Made God Man

Lyrics

Is it men of old who trace lines in the dust?
Scripts lost in trust, traced in lines of rust
Speaking of beginnings, where is the cause?
A God man buried in legalistic laws
There’s always this calling, an innate demand
Was the fabric of the first collapse planned?

The pulse of the cosmos
The birth of decay
Annihilation fashioned
With molecular clay

Erasing the history, we are grinding to sand
Refusing absorption that God made God man

What is the light?
(What is the light?)
Where is our sight?
(Where is our sight?)
These landscapes just can’t be right

Where is the fuse of eternity?
Who lights the candle of infinity?
We’ve buried and forgotten entropy
An origin veiled in obscurity

Is all of this just dust that dreams of divinity?
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

The pulse of this world, the birth we betray
Concentrated passion in a broken state

Erasing the history, we are grinding to sand
Refusing absorption that God made God man

What is the light?
(What is the light?)
Where is our sight?
(Where is our sight?)
This history just can’t be right

This light seems so bright
Did man make man lose sight?
God made all this, right?

We call it creation, but it feels more like theft
A history rewritten to escape what’s left
The question persists in every design
Did we script the gods, or are we the divine?

Scriptures written and full of trace
We seek the author, but never the face

Erasing the history, we are grinding to sand
Refusing absorption that God made God man
What is the light?
Where is our sight?
These historians just can’t be right

This light seems so bright
Did man make man lose sight?
God made all this, right?

In the beginning was the silence we feared
A void too deep, too raw to be cleared
So we crafted our gods to quiet the noise
A myth of control, a fiction of choice

A fiction of choice

3. Man Made Man God

Lyrics

Break off for me!
Me!
Break off for me!
Me!

We’re too loud where the Word is silent
We don’t realize we’re a sleeping giant
Let’s just take a good look at this body
All of these parts, but we stay in a pile

Splintered, divided
You did more than I did
Lost, confused
We have all been used

Don’t throw all of this away
It’s not what’s in it for me
Broken hearts don’t heal with rage
This is a hospital, not a stage

Unity doesn’t mean uniformity
We should have got the warranty
United we fell, divided we stand
Let’s take a break, I’ll give you a hand

Don’t tear the stitches out again
I’m not your enemy
This is a hospital, my friend
But it’s not what you thought it’d be

Splintered, divided
You did more than I did
Lost, confused
We have all been used

Don’t throw all of this away
It’s not what’s in it for me.
Broken hearts don’t heal with rage
This is a hospital, not a stage

It’s not what’s in the church for me
It’s what’s in me for the church
Not all who preach can make you whole
Don’t burn the bridge that saves your soul

Prioritization
Participation
A congregation
A praying nation

Don’t throw all of this away
It’s not what’s in it for me.
Broken hearts don’t heal with rage
This is a hospital, not a stage

4. They're Going to Get Their Guns

Lyrics

It’s a beautiful path
We have the best intentions
Take a break from the wrath
They’re going to get their guns
They’re going to get their guns

They’re going to get their guns

The story’s old, it’s all been told
The road is paved in paths of gold
The zeal is real, appeal and feel
There’s some things you just can’t conceal

Burn down this town
Set it on fire
We have to hire
A whole new sound
Get out of your way
Let’s leave a mark
That never let’s us say…

We’ll burn this all to ash
Let’s make this fun
Step away from from the path
They’re going to get their guns
They’re going to get their guns

They’re going to get their guns

In a word, decay
In a phrase, you don’t want to stay
In a day, you will feel all types of things
That never go away

Burn down this town
Set it on fire
We have to hire
A whole new sound
Get out of your way
Let’s leave a mark
That never let’s us say

We will burn this all to ashes
We will burn this all to ashes

My soul will reach for the farthest goal
Why did we ever let them take control?
Will these flames be high enough to hide the hate
Will we ever be fast enough to make the escape

Burn down this town
Set it on fire, we have to hire
A whole new sound
Get out of your way
Let’s leave a mark
That never let’s us say

We will burn this all to ashes
We will burn this all to ashes

5. Faith is New

Lyrics

In the quiet, these storms
I submit, I pray
Refuge, a light, to guide my way
Speaking, calling
I needed You
Darkest nights
Where were You?

How could I forget?
It’s clear somehow
Promises were there
Doubting now
Through the pain
You carry through
My heart broke through
I run to You

How could I ever think
It’s strange to see
Everything promised
Holds true for me
I said, I’m alone
You pulled through
Every step, every fall
My faith is new

By Your grace, Your arms
I stand, restored
Chaos, opened
A way, a door
Every tear, every cry
You saw it through
Thoughts of loss
I come to you

Seeing Your love
It’s clear somehow
Faithfulness, I can see it now
In the pain, the dark
You said, “I’m here for you”
I fell to the ground
Your words so true

How could I ever think
It’s strange to see
Everything promised
Holds true for me
I said, I’m alone
You pulled through
Every step, every fall
Like my faith is new

In the back, off the side
I see Your hand
I’m secure, where I stand
Stumbled, I fell
You carried through
Forever, Your arms
I’m found in You

6. Hold On

Lyrics

She’s ready again to let it all within
There’s a lake of tears that shows life again
This war struggles on as it’s at the forefront, frontlines
Seems like a happy night, it’s all a delusion, sometimes 
These filthy drags like filthy rags
This is a fleeting peace
Am I the weight?
Am I the burden?
Longing for release

Hold on

Voices speak of the battles waged inside my chest
Light meets dark where my fingers linger and confess
I reach to break the chains, to silence all this emptiness
But the depths I’ve fallen show me where there’s hope to rest

These filthy drags like filthy rags
This is a fleeting peace
Am I the weight?
Am I the burden?
Longing for release
This rotten fruit, what’s left of you
Is there a fleeting piece?
I miss the weight
I haven’t turned in
Drowning in this tease

Hold on

Hold on to the hope
Hold on to the memories
Hold on to what used to be
Hold on as you fall
Hold on to the small world
This isn’t where you’ll be

These filthy drags like filthy rags
This is a fleeting peace
Am I the weight?
Am I the burden?
Longing for release

This rotten fruit, what’s left of you
Is there a fleeting piece?
I miss the weight
I haven’t turned in
Drowning in this tease

Hold on
Hold on
Hold on

7. Right Through You

Lyrics

(Instrumental)

8. Take Hold of Them

Lyrics

Exhortation, hostility
Unsurpassable humility
Unpleasantness, righteousness
Apprehensive abolitionists

Take hold of them
Undisciplined
Illegitimate children

The plans will cease
A masterpiece
Increase, decrease
Strive for peace
Something grabs onto the screw
Stabs right through you
Black turns to blue
And this world is through

Considerably, gracility
Blissful tranquility
Bitterness, holiness
Careless unconsciousness

Take hold of them
Undisciplined
Illegitimate children

The plans will cease
A masterpiece
Increase, decrease
Strive for peace
Something grabs onto the screw
Stabs right through you
Black turns to blue
And this world is through

Reminiscent
Blinding distance
Insufficient
Preexistence
Inconsistent
False resistance
Coexistence
Tireless persistance

Take hold of them
Undisciplined
Illegitimate children

The plans will cease
A masterpiece
Increase, decrease
Strive for peace
Something grabs onto the screw
Stabs right through you
Black turns to blue
And this world is through

9. Who Have We Sent?

Lyrics

We move in shadows since the void runs deep
A world of scars where our secrets weep
Is it a crown of thorns or a veil of shame?
Who do we blame?
We’re all built the same
Blood runs red and stains the stone
A sword it pierces through flesh not bone
The shattered cries
What have we done?
A sacrifice, black skies
The One

I will never be sufficient
Who have we sent?
We are all covered
We’re all in one another

The hammer and the nails collide
Death won’t grip graves open wide
An empty tomb and a hollow roar
As he reigns forevermore
Who drinks the cup that let’s us all ascend?
This must be the life where darkness ends

I will never be sufficient
Who have we sent?
We are all covered
We’re all in one another

Beneath the ash this still ember glows
The ancient serpent writhes and slows
The strongest tides
The end is near
His blood dissolves the deepest fear

I will never be sufficient
Who have we sent?
We are all covered
We’re all in one another

10. God of Kings

Lyrics

Stone by stone, these temples rise
Above the graves of sacrifice
The kings will let their power corrupt
Forgotten the One who lifts them up

The prophets cry, the warnings fall
On deafened ears, behind a stone’s throw wall
It’s the gold, it’s the idols, human nature reigns
In the shadow, in the dusk of a holy name
(In the shadow, in the dusk of a holy name)

It happened so fast, why did you blink?
A reckoning taken to ink

These thrones are ashes as kingdoms fall
The voice beneath
Consumes it all
From the heights of pride
To the depths of pain
Woah!
The God of Kings will rise again

How did you miss the voice in the flame?
Who really stands to call your name?
Did you see what the altar burns?
While the world of men refuse to learn

This will all be erased, the bloodlines fade
The cycles turn, the debts are paid
It will fall down as the hammer sounds
The weight of justice pulls them down
(The weight of justice pulls them down)

It happened so fast, why did you blink?
A reckoning taken to ink

These thrones are ashes as kingdoms fall
The voice beneath
Consumes it all
From the heights of pride
To the depths of pain
Woah!
The God of Kings will rise again
(The God of Kings will rise again)

The crown of pride is forged in lies
Built on bones of a million cries
No empire stands, no man can claim
The glory due to the unchanging name
Whoa!
The remnant waits in the darkest night
For the kingdom come, for the holy light
The days of kings head for the grave
As we call the only one who saves

These thrones are ashes as kingdoms fall
The voice beneath
Consumes it all
From the heights of pride
To the depths of pain
Woah!
The God of Kings will rise again

Let the flames consume the pride
The golden idols built to hide
For every king who fades away
(Fades away)
There’s a King Who will never sway

Woah, woah, woah, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, woah
The God of Kings will rise again

11. Every King Will Fade Away

Lyrics

Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh

Every king will fade
We will all do the same
These worldly kings fade away
Will we stay to see the day?

Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh

Every king will fade
We will all do the same

Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh

Every king will fade
Every king will fade
Every king will fade
Every king will fade

Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh

Every king will fade
Every king will fade
Every king will fade
Every king will fade

Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh
Whoa, whoah, ohhh

12. Microscopes and Avalanche

Lyrics

The ticking nerve of broken clocks we spin
Each cog conspiring quietly again and again
A grain dislodged can shift a massive weight
What crumbles first may redefine our fate

Every thread unraveled rewrites the scene
Minute distortions ripple through the dream
Microscopes and avalanche, yet both remain
The smallest pivot carves the deepest pain
So, sew, sewwww

Inverted maps trace steps we can’t unmake
Each filament, a gamble we mistake
The static hum, the choices left unsaid
Evolves the architecture in our head

Every thread unraveled rewrites the scene
Minute distortions ripple through the dream
Microscopes and avalanche, yet both remain
The smallest pivot carves the deepest pain
So, sew, sewwww

No monument of marble keeps its vow
When whispers split foundations here and now
Do we resolve, or let the fractures grow?
The answer hides in echoes we don’t show
The answer hides in echoes we don’t show

Every thread unraveled rewrites the scene
Minute distortions ripple through the dream
Microscopes and avalanche, yet both remain
The smallest pivot carves the deepest pain
So, sew, sewwww

Each step dissolves, each path is new
And yet we claim the illusion’s true
Beneath the surface, choice takes its place
A fleeting speck becomes our trace

13. Life Illumination

Lyrics

I remember life, before…

The crack in the pavement glows with unseen grace
A sermon of echoes in the concrete embrace
The rust on the railing whispers ancient themes
A tapestry woven from forgotten dreams
(A tapestry woven from forgotten dreams)

Light bends in the gutter
A prism of grime
Refracting the sorrow
Of relentless time
The rain’s tone sings
To the shattered glass
Each droplet a verse
In the hymn of the past
(Each droplet a verse in the hymn of the past)

There’s splendor in ruins
In the quiet decay
A truth we misplace as we stumble away

I remember life before I was Laura
But I am not allowed to talk about it
I don’t know why I bring it up
Well, he reminds me
I hate that he reminds me
I hate him
I don’t know when he will go away
I’d rather not play with him anymore
I don’t want to play when he is around
Sometimes he looks like he wants to be nice
Sometimes he’s really sweet
But I know it’s always to set me up
For something bad for me
He is bad for me
He would be bad for anyone

14. The Irony of Time

Lyrics

A child finds wonder in the smallest streams
Pebble, ripple, the texture of dreams
Years accumulate into weathered skin
We crave the vastness where the ripples begin
The closer we get to the top of the climb
The more we lament lost fragments of time
What’s vast now was tiny when the world was bright
And irony smirks in the dimming light

The irony of time is only seen in time
(Only seen in time)
There is security in this design
(In this design)

Laughter of youth fills a shallow well
Unaware of the echoes their echoes compel
While age seeks meaning in the grand design
The small slips away like an abandoned shrine
The closer we get to the top of the climb
The more we lament lost fragments of time
What’s vast now was tiny when the world was bright
And irony smirks in the dimming light

The irony of time is only seen in time
(Only seen in time)
There is security in this design
(In this design)

The closer we get to the top of the climb
The more we lament lost fragments of time
What’s vast now was tiny when the world was bright
And irony smirks in the dimming light

The irony of time is only seen in time
(Only seen in time)
There is security in this design
(In this design)

Each cycle repeats and cracks a paradox grin
The beauty we seek hides where it begins
The children see the clouds while we see the skies
We’re all just looking for truth behind a captive’s eyes

Behind a captive’s eyes
Behind a captive’s eyes

The closer we get to the top of the climb
The more we lament lost fragments of time
What’s vast now was tiny when the world was bright
And irony smirks in the dimming light

Each cycle repeats and cracks a paradox grin
The beauty we seek hides where it begins
The children see the clouds while we see the skies
We’re all just looking for truth behind a captive’s eyes

Behind a captive’s eyes

15. Slip Onto Your Fragile Throne

Lyrics

Take this fight
Make your own
Slip onto your fragile throne
Take your heart
Wear the scar
Proudly on the stones you throw

16. We're All Hypocrites

Lyrics

Floods
Blood
Love
What do we want to get rid of?
Arcs
Hierarch
Dark
Why do we want to miss the mark?

And the tether snaps with a dissonant hum
We rewrite the scripture
With a stain on our tongue

Carve the flaw
Sculpt this life and run into
A theater of torment and a cyclical view
The allure of collapse is an irresistible hymn
What corrupts our bones seduces the limb

Now, take off the gas mask
Now, stop pretending you like it
Now, this isn’t your task
Now, we’re all hypocrites

Desire’s like clockwork
Ticking, breeding despair
Each cog is a decision we’re too frail to bear
The sky bends in protest
The ground will concede
Yet we beg the abyss for the solace we bleed

And the tether snaps with a dissonant hum
We rewrite the scripture
With a stain on our tongue

Carve the flaw
Sculpt this life and run into
A theater of torment and a cyclical view
The allure of collapse is an irresistible hymn
What corrupts our bones seduces the limb

Now, take off the gas mask
Now, stop pretending you like it
Now, this isn’t your task
Now, we’re all hypocrites

Can a vice be a virtue if no one remains?
The architect’s folly leaves desolate plains
We’re the architects too
With our trembling designs
Drunk on decay
Yeah the blueprint aligns

Carve the flaw, sculpt this life and run into
A theater of torment and a cyclical view
The allure of collapse is an irresistible hymn
What corrupts our bones seduces the limb

Now, take off the gas mask
Now, stop pretending you like it
Now, this isn’t your task
Now, we’re all hypocrites

Splintered devotion
Covenant stained
Fragile rebellion
Forever ingrained

17. Uncommon Dreams

Lyrics

There’s a feast stretching wide like a parade of regret
Where a crown and a scepter seal every debt
A name disappears in the corridors of sin
While another ascends with a whisper within

With a whisper within

Beneath the lattice of decree and disguise
The stars rearrange
Hidden from their eyes

Hidden from their eyes

Who speaks for the muted
Who stands for the thread?
When the loom keeps weaving
Though a king is misled
The gallows are waiting for the breath of a lie
But the tables will turn when the humble reply

When the humble reply

Letters carved deep in the ink of despair
The sentence was cast, but the moment’s unfair
A banquet betrays the deceit of the throne
As truth finds a voice in the place of the known

In the place of the known

Beneath the lattice of decree and disguise
The stars rearrange
Hidden from their eyes

Hidden from their eyes

Who speaks for the muted
Who stands for the thread?
When the loom keeps weaving
Though a king is misled
The gallows are waiting for the breath of a lie
But the tables will turn when the humble reply

Was the silence unbroken?
Agreement unsigned?
Justice emerged while chaos confined
A feast turns to ashes and a throne shifts weight
The mark of his crown was the irony of fate

Was the irony of fate

Who speaks for the muted
Who stands for the thread?
When the loom keeps weaving
Though a king is misled
The gallows are waiting for the breath of a lie
But the tables will turn when the humble reply
A resounding quiet where the proud was decreed
The tale unfolds as the humble succeed
No name was spoken, what does this mean?
As unseen hands move through uncommon dreams

Uncommon dreams
Uncommon dreams
Uncommon dreams

Uncommon dreams
Uncommon dreams
Uncommon dreams
Uncommon dreams

18. Something is Missing

Lyrics

The circuits hum beneath the sky
So we stayed in
Our words coil
Electric
Uneven

Though the night distills its bitter essence
A dull light persists in quiet presence

The path is raw
A delicate ignition
(This is a dreadful path)
The world unfolds
Comes to fruition
(This is a dreadful world)

The walls leak screams
Of unrecorded endings
Echoes sink into a pulse
Unending

Though the night distills its bitter essence
A dull light persists in quiet presence

The path is raw
A delicate ignition
(This is a dreadful path)
The world unfolds
Comes to fruition
(This is a dreadful world)

Trapped under this weight
Oh!
The pulse will not surrender
Oh!
Its beat resolves in tones
Sharp and tender

The path is raw
A delicate ignition
(This is a dreadful path)
The world unfolds
Comes to fruition
(This is a dreadful world)

19. The is the Fate of Humanity

Lyrics

(Instrumental)

20. This is Not the End

Lyrics

The fear and the doubt and the echoes rushing
It feels like this weight is crushing
You can only wait so long for high tide
There’s always a truth we hide
 But the cracks let the light inside
Through the pain
We’re alive
We’re alive today

We’ve felt this since the Dead Sea Scrolls
Carving the strength
From the depths of our souls
These trials aren’t prisons
They make us whole
We’re more than the ashes
Diamonds in coal

Screams of doubt, they’re loud, clear, and near
Whispers tempting us to disappear
But the flames refine us as we transform
Through every storm, a phoenix is born
 But the cracks let the light inside
Through the pain
We’re alive
We’re alive today

We’ve felt this since the Dead Sea Scrolls
Carving the strength
From the depths of our souls
These trials aren’t prisons
They make us whole
We’re more than the ashes
Diamonds in coal

Beneath this weight
We shape, mold and bend
There’s no breaking point
This is not the end
The storm’s our teacher
The fire’s our muse
It’s a cruel alchemy
But it’s how we choose

We’ve felt this since the Dead Sea Scrolls
Carving the strength
From the depths of our souls
These trials aren’t prisons
They make us whole
We’re more than the ashes
Diamonds in coal

Every fall is a step we climb
Every wound leaves a mark in time
Wear your scars like a crown of steel
Only if we can learn to heal

We’ve felt this since the Dead Sea Scrolls
Carving the strength
From the depths of our souls
These trials aren’t prisons
They make us whole
We’re more than the ashes
Diamonds in coal

Every fall is a step we climb
Every wound leaves a mark in time
Wear your scars like a crown of steel
Only if we can learn to heal

21. A Time for Piece

Lyrics

A time to be born and a time to die
A time to plant and a time to take
A time to kill and a time to heal
A time to tear down and a time to build

Whatever is has already been
What will be can’t be again
It will be called to account
Under the sun
We are what we found

A time to weep and a time to laugh
A time to mourn and a time to dance
A time to scatter stones and a time to gather
A time to embrace and a time to refrain

Whatever is has already been
What will be can’t be again
It will be called to account
Under the sun
We are what we found

A time to search and a time to give up
A time to keep and a time to toss
A time to tear and a time to mend
A time to be silent and a time to send

Whatever is has already been
What will be can’t be again
It will be called to account
Under the sun
We are what we found

A time to love and a time to hate
A time for war and a time for peace

Whatever is has already been
What will be can’t be again
It will be called to account
Under the sun
We are what we found

22. Blurred Dereliction

Lyrics

Every hour we’re in a maze with collapsing walls
The heavy weight of existence comes with a quiet call
Is this screaming in my head or in the air itself?
Am I reading the void and avoiding the bookshelf?

There are no secrets in the night sky
Just muted disdain
The rain falls horizontally as the light dies
Leave no stain

This fracture was always bent
Absent joy
Hearts lament
Mundane pulses with every thought
What is decay if never sought?

It’s hard to barter in time already spent
It’s an empty currency
A ledger’s dissent
Grinning projections
Tears are muted
How can we tell if we’re lying or rooted?

The mirror’s a tragedy as it returns
What you cannot explain
Nothing but a face full of questions
Dissolved in pain

This fracture was always bent
Absent joy
Hearts lament
Mundane pulses with every thought
What is decay if never sought?

The weight of the answers we’ll never perceive
Like maps of the stars etched in frost that won’t leave
And still we march forward on legs made of glass
Not knowing the future
Just mourning the past

This clock moves with teeth that gnaw to the bone
Each tick a betrayal
Each tock overthrown
The rhythm’s relentless
A tyrant disguised
In seconds that whisper what’s truth and what’s lies

This fracture was always bent
Absent joy
Hearts lament
Mundane pulses with every thought
What is decay if it’s never been sought?

So we hum through the static to decipher the gray
And drown in the questions we bury each day
Is this now or forever?
We’ve forgotten the line
Between trembling edges and dismal signs

I said in my heart, “Come now
I will test you with pleasure
Enjoy yourself”
But behold, this also was vanity.
I said of laughter, “It is mad”
And of pleasure, “What use is it?”
I searched with my heart
How to cheer my body with wine
My heart still guiding me with wisdom
And how to lay hold on folly
Till I might see what was good
For the children of man to do under heaven
During the few days of their life
I made great works
I built houses and planted vineyards for myself
I made myself gardens and parks
And planted in them all kinds of fruit trees
I made myself pools from which
To water the forest of growing trees

…more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem
I also gathered for myself silver and gold
And the treasure of kings and provinces
I got singers, both men and women
And many concubines
The delight of the sons of man
So I became great and surpassed all
who were before me in Jerusalem
Also my wisdom remained with me
And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them

The weight of the answers we’ll never perceive
Like maps of the stars etched in frost that won’t leave
And still, we march forward on legs made of glass
Not knowing the future
Just mourning the past
This clock moves with teeth that gnaw to the bone
Each tick a betrayal
Each tock overthrown
And still we march forward on legs made of glass
Not knowing the future
Just mourning the past

So we hum through the static to decipher the gray
And drown in the questions we bury each day
Is this now or we’ve forgotten the line
Between trembling edges and dismal signs

Signs

I kept my heart from no pleasure
For my heart found pleasure in all my toil
And this was my reward for all my toil
Then I considered all that my hands had done
And the toil I had expended in doing it

So we hum through the static to decipher the gray
And drown in the questions we bury each day
Is this now or forever?
We’ve forgotten the line
Between trembling edges and dismal signs

And behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind
And there was nothing to be gained under the sun

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

23. Blurred Dereliction (Fractured Version)
