We Weep Only for Ourselves Lyrics


"I renounce every part of this.

I’ve seen both sister and brother turn to cannibal,

Seen through the lies of our species.

Disposable, everyone expendable;

Unable to depend on anyone, can’t even trust yourself.

Minds eye designed to process lies.

I despise this detour we’ve all stumbled upon.

Forget the bodies we tread on.

No hope left -

(Hear) It’s undeniable,

(Me) A bitter truth that’s hard to swallow.

Free will: gift or curse?

Mere mortals bear no answers.

Pray now to the Earth:

“Oh, why chosen were we for this?”

Searching for something more.

No hope left here to find.

Vacant eyes scan for life signs, all they find is us questioning ourselves;

Are we born pure, or is the Devil in our cells?

No hope left -

(Hear) Unfaithful (Me).

Skepticism; I am a nihilist at heart.

Or is that biased of me?

So selfish, I can’t see clearly.

We don’t weep for the dead. We weep only for ourselves.

We are left behind.

Reflected like mirrors aimed inward;

Fears flicker behind empty eyes.

Why was I designed without purpose or peace of mind?

With wheels set in motion, devoid of emotion,

In facing ourselves, we meet our demise.

Insatiable hunger is clawing at my stomach.

Oh, I’m so sick at the sight of it.

Avoidance is better than facing disappointment in the mirror.

Everyone around you,

Every corner,

Every park bench ever slept on.

The cold now one with me.

I surrender to the dark.

Lost souls left to wander alone.

I kneel to Your will"
