The Wave that Swallowed the World Lyrics

Only through penance

can we see the difference

Mindgames a plenty,

Always feeling empty,

California dreams now grayscale,

Cannot feel every detail,

Nostalgic feelings fade into

A blackened haven, reducing to salt

Poured into the wounds

Unbearing agony

Please cleanse this clandestine,

Overbearing demon

Why have we felt so diseased,

To all this was is now a portrait of me

The broken craft of discourse,

Offered to us of course

Through their conniving meaning

Only to see us dreaming

Of better worlds than this one,

Open your eyes to disconnection,

The gates have greatly broken,

And now the tide is coming towards us,

Our mental limits shattered,

Fight or flight response directly raptured,

Birthing an undying fire central to hate's desire,

Forgive me please for what I do,

It's far from what I want to,

I'm starving in the wave that swallowed the world.

Self medicating,

Over-indulging,

Clasped onto a dragon

Flying closer to the sun,

My awareness narrows,

Blindly running in shallows,

It's over consuming,

Only God can cure me.

The broken craft of discourse,

Offered to us of course

Through their conniving meaning

Only to see us dreaming

Of better worlds than this one,

Open your eyes to disconnection,

The gates have greatly broken,

And now the tide is coming towards us,

Our mental limits shattered,

Fight or flight response directly raptured,

Birthing an undying fire central to hate's desire,

Forgive me please for what I do,

It's far from what I want to,

I'm dying in the wave that swallowed the world.
