The Persistence of Light

Feel the rage
Feel everything
Feel the bend
Feel the break
Feel the vacuum of delusion
Can't trust the ground beneath your feet
Look away for a moment and the earth opens below
Fight blind, fight weak
Swallow a pill so I can find relief
Grind all my teeth to dust
What is refuge for some can spell ruin for us
In crisis our minds are swallowed
In violence, we fight to exist
Can you feel the light hit your eyes?
Is it a candle or the sun in the sky?
It's always over under, over underwhelming
I see no signs that we make it through the night this time
It's always over under, over underwhelming
Just when you thought it was safe
Just when you thought you were free
The roots you thought were dead send poison from beneath
Run from the gaping jaws
Crawl away from the monster that they worship now as God
Close my eyes and sing
Put me in a coma to numb the pain
For a time the demons sleep
But now they wake and my ears ring from their horrid screams
Horrid screams
Horrid screams
Into the void
Into the dark
Where we pray we don't break apart
Where is the meaning?
Can we make our own?
Can we make it all matter?
Make it matter
Is there a light in the tunnel?
Is there a light in the tunnel?
Is there a light in the tunnel, in the end to justify the dark?
