Beneath Lyrics

Failure

A dominion of malignant violent purpose

I'm afraid of what I am

And what I've done to myself

Unbeknown consequence in arrogance of wind under wings

Oh how delusional to think that I'd be rid of these sins

Tear at the flesh just to feel something

Bleak reminiscence of man's undoing

How dare I feel like I'm undeserving

Of all this torment in my becoming?

Why deny the faults we hide inside?

(The blame is solely mine)

By design, absolve me of this lie

Beneath the skin

Why live in this fucking lie?

Turbulent echoes in the back of the mind

Violent pragmatic schism left undefined

You call it faith or delusion?

I have seen the face of God

But I have only gazed upon it when I looked at myself

Tore at the flesh to reveal something

Archaic torment in my becoming

Why deny the faults we hide inside?

(The blame is solely mine)

By design, absolve me of this lie

Beneath the skin

(Beneath the skin)

Father

Maker

What will I become without your failures?

I thank God that I made it

Though the scars have barely faded

And I'll thank them when I dig my fingers under their skin

For all that made me wonder

Made me suffer

Made me regret

That I am nothing but the hollowness they buried within

God damn you all

I feel it all

I feel it buried away

Beneath the skin

Why live in this fucking lie?

Fuck

God damn you all
