Asymmetricality

Illusion of perfection
A world filled with false belief
Hollow comfort, figment of control

Ground down by stress and fear
Pressing ever near
Crushing burden, suffocating presence

Cut down at the knees
Arrested development
Projecting my heart
Drawing an answer to bear
Pieces of my heart
A cipher to who I've become

Four degrees from center
Echoes of what could have been
Attention turned in

Bending the soul
Dragging me through
Lost opportunity

Joy that drifts
Past ethereal blight
A melancholic caress

Grasping for redirection
To fill the holes
With hollow meaning

Please heal my soul
There must be hope
A hope to repair
My hopeless state

Gutted and alone
I just want to be home
I just want to go home
I just want to be home

I just want to go
Home

Vision stripped
Wander the void
My instincts fail
Soul destroyed

A price to pay

A price to pay

Fixation on my demise
Self-inflicted degradation
In a hole
Devoid of light
Who can save
A hate-filled fool?

The Christ
Beacon in the night
Lift my spirit
Pay the price
God, lift my spirit
Pay my price

Fire consume this offering

Holy Flame
Peel away my skin
Carve out my rot
At the breaking point
Holding out my heart

Holy Flame
Peel away my skin
Carve out my rot
Cast it all to hell
Cast it all to hell
Yeah, hell
Cast it all to hell

Peel back my shell
Piece by piece

Limb from limb
Sin carved out
It's all cast to hell

Who can save
A penniless fool?
