Descent Lyrics

What am I supposed to be doing

I don't think any of us know anymore

I lay down in the dirt

As flies and beetles

Burrow through my bones

In the woods behind my home

A blanket of needles stirs

As smoke fills my lungs

And the sky waits for sin

As my chest falls apart

Fires spread in their tide

I'm doomed to be set ablaze

Under dim light I lay

In the mud-sodden ground

Are we just pawns in your game

Digging our own traps to fall into

Carrying intention to end our lives

Once we've been broken, brittled and abused

Cremated remains

Soaked by a harsh rain

Sink deep in the earth

To descend in anguish

A broken stone sits in the forest

Placed alone and forgotten

Does anything really matter

Once the fruits of our labor have all gone rotten

Do you really think

That this is the life

That we're supposed to lead

I can't remember

The last time I saw

A sign

That said

We'll rest in peace

Hidden needles wait for searching hands

What will bring us to our knees

When we don't know, what will set us free

We've been locked and shut in alone

Now we're stranded in our own homes

When all of our cuts have been scabbed

And all of our burns have healed

When we're gutted and our hearts are stabbed

We'll no longer be real

We hold our resentment

Dig our own graves to crawl into

I'll travel to the end of time just to kill you
