No Rest for the Weary Lyrics

Album: Redacted

Will the wreckage ever wash away

It's taken all I can offer

All I can sacrifice

And burns it all before my eyes

Where is the serenity

In a numb body and a shattered mind

This laceration hasn’t stopped flowing

On this desolate scorched earth the sun makes us blind

But one day this will fade

We come to understand this

Nihility lies in truth

Enlightenment lies in blackness

And I’ve seen the world

Crumble

Existence falls apart before my very eyes

Your touch is cold

Hopeless

My broken legs won’t walk again

My cursed mouth won't voice my sins

Build the inner Babylon

The walls will make me feel at home

Damn myself, repent alone

How can one just live

The half life without admitting it

How can one stand idly by

We all suffer, in each other we should confide

But it's worthless

Alight, this tunnel of despair

Meaningless little meanings

Pretending someone will care

We all die

And leave one another alone

Hope is for the faint of heart

Love too flammable to spare

And I’ve seen the world

Crumble

Existence falls apart before my very eyes

Your touch is cold

Hopeless

My broken legs won’t walk again

My cursed mouth won’t voice my sins

I’ve been thinking these nights of late

My shadow a laceration evermore

Cadent stabbing, the mirror bears

Oh, my heart can’t do this anymore

Fast words and thoughts align

Discordant misstepped dance

I dwell the bottom of this cave

Where vortical black entranced

Fast words and thoughts align

Discordant misstepped dance

I dwell the bottom of this cave

Where vortical black entranced

And I suppose those fast words would never have helped me

To a place where I could stand

But after all this time and all these nights

I’ve lost my own command

And now I’m sleepless

What I’ve become

The frayed ends have caught a thread

I have come undone

Damn it all, I’ve seen the world

Crumble

Existence falls apart before my very eyes

Your touch is cold

Hopeless

My broken legs won’t walk again

My cursed mouth
