Ad Hominem Lyrics

Behind the smoke

Infinite form

Alters take hold

Once more

Becoming culled

Your words entrancing me

Codes I've yet to interpret

Your core scathed far beneath

It's porcelain surface

Nothing's as it seems to be

Won't you convey that I deserve this

Are these outcomes only a dream

When apparently imperfect

Maybe you're in a trance

When you tell yourself this can't be happening

Despite the circumstance

You aren't the only prisoner of make believe

The souvenirs you keep

Should they remind you of each lie that we've been told

You'll still feel lost to me

Because I recognize you've become culled

Your words entrancing me

Codes I've yet to interpret

Your core scathed far beneath

It's porcelain surface

Nothing is as it seems at least

Could you respond like I deserve it

Because these outcomes have no meaning

Other than appearing imperfect

Entombing the meek

The world as it's seen

Is artificial and bleak

And this form won't compel me

To

Compromise

The language of those soon forgotten

I won't comply

But I'll burn this bridge and watch you drop dead

Don't let this make your head spin

Because I don't feel a thing

Doesn't mean I don't see

That when nothing compels me

I'll just wear your bleeding heart

On my sleeve

What fate will we attain

Without hope

This feeling we exchange

Merely to cope

You laugh when you're afraid

Shielded in smoke

So then maybe you won't

Become so cold

What fate will we decry

When we've lost hope

This heart that I confide

In you to hold

I smiled when you died

Behind the smoke

Is this the reason

I'm becoming cold

These words they escape me

In codes you'll never interpret

Because you're scathed so far beneath

Your porcelain surface

More corroded than you seem to be

Don't tell me I deserve this

This outcome must be preconceived

To have become this imperfect
