"Apparition" lyrics

Left out at sea
Wither on the vine
One million ways to find
Cynicism is prophecy

Hope leaves you behind
The flowers that weep
For the love you won't find
I gave you a world that was lost to time
Embers will burn even after the death of the fire

Your body pressed against mine
Only in victory
Now we bleed
Endless demise

God is a serpent
A bed of razors is all that I find
Pulling me down as I walk behind your eyes
Ashes upon me
Dragging me down through your river of lies

Now I sit here in silence
With my breath baited
Waiting for a fix just
So I know that I'm addicted
Feeling hatred seep into my pores
Damage is done
Syringes drained
I'm still praying for more

The cowards, messiahs, and unfeeling hordes
Feeding and fucking and begging for gore
The archaic complex of waste that we feed
Subjugation through weakness
Absolution of need

Phantom feeling

All of
This could
Have been yours

All of
This should
Have been yours

All my
Everything was for you

All of
This could
Have been yours
