lyrics

All that lust, unbridled violence never touched, discussed or silenced.
And all that hate and pent up anger, while greedy fingers reach for danger.
It's as if its death by a million cuts. In which case we pace like hell as eyes.
Synthetic your way to the top and bring the mountain to me.
Make like a pretty mistake, and show every crack in your smile.
'Cause something up there this way comes.
It may be god or it may be rocks.
And we await with baited breath, tethered to a tithe.
Baited and corrupt, something up there this way...
"Brick by brick and strand by strand, we tell ourselves to force our hand.
Come what may tomorrow today. when I cut I bleed... so what? So what?"
Something up there this way comes and many think its time.
They have heard the message from the mountain.
Something up there this way comes and they will be prepared.
A good night's sleep, something to eat and they will say their prayers.
But careful the reason to be.
And steady the sentence again.
And quiet is you react.
And show every crack in your smile.
