"Despair Church" lyrics

When you realize
Where you are
Bar the windows, lock the doors
There's no hope
No escape
You're living in a spinning cage
Did they take away your very soul
Tell you every story has been told
Replace the image that was made
If you're certain than you'd put it in stone

It's the animus of cowardice
In the holy place of hopelessness
If you contemplate the infinite dream
Are you even sure that you exist

Did it touch a raw nerve, did the stars fall when you heard?

Peel away, a miracle every day
Will everything feel the same
The stars have fallen
Just give me one
I'll take the whole world away
Not even God can say
What's real you'd never know it now

Born in darkness of the infinite
Was there goodness that they hid within
Writhing monkey soaked in ignorance
Meant to struggle with significance
Bond to method then why don't you build it from stone

It's the animus of cowardice
In the holy place of hopelessness
A collision course with emptiness
Do you even care that you exist

Faustian pact complete
Pick the bones and feast
Build in stone if you dare
Invert all because no one cares
Never knowing
Which way is up
Are your feet on the ground
Is this heaven
What's the price of flesh per pound

In the animus of cowardice
In the holy place of hopelessness
If you contemplate the infinite dream
Are you even sure that you exist

Peel away
A miracle every day
Now everything feels the same
The stars have fallen
In the holy place of hopelessness
Are you even sure that you exist
