Lyrics Banishment - Loss

In our varied states of disorder
We act and react
Punishment for our actions
Have been silenced... dispelled as cruelty
The deeds of unbalanced achievement
Undeservingly awarded

(We are all innocent...)

The refusal to punish erodes discipline
Self respect and respect for others
Rewarding the careless and serving an
Abundance of indignity to those who
Truly gave all that was to be given

(We are all addicts...)

To the suffering of others
To witness something rise as high as it's
Celestial paramount
And celebrate with madness in our eyes
As it falls
To our murderous nature

Even those in their benevolence
Will find the sweat
Of their efforts corrode and weaken structure
Destruction in numbers
To useless intelligence
Garbage information that fills a mind to
Become less focused
For common knowledge, less inclined to
Envision solution

Once something is consumed with decay
It is only fit for extraction

Carved, assembled and cast off
Into the voyage of our individual surroundings
A doomed vessel led only to drift itself
Throughout amassed mob thought
Passing beneath the clouded horror of any
Communal action not being accepted
And praised instantaneously
A pathetic husk from where the shavings of
Our truest potential began

Seek abandon
It's never too late to return to that quiet place
The place that was there before
All you ever knew
An infinity void of horizons
Tear at yourself and find your truths
Layer by layer of flesh and muscle
To the cords that control your every move
To the last drop of your every essence
Beneath it all, you will find what has always
Been yours

Innocence
