All Else Fails - Antimartyr Lyrics

Implode
The blame's been pointed at us again, down the barrel of innocence
And I know all we need's a good pandemic just to bring it all down
So consider me depraved, consider me intolerant
Consider me the anguished dreaming, petty malcontent
As the morals we live by get buried in the corporate vault

We thrive on counterfeit dreams

Hold your serpentine tongues, lashing out in the name of God

Our pride won't enable us to disavow
Or fortify us in the new F*cktropolis now
And I'm done feeding off a governing body who won't defend us
Save for humoring beliefs
The current path is mutually assured dysfunction
As it bursts at its colloquial seams
And I pray that the heavens rain upon us
And bring with them a fury that pulls us to our knees

I have never perceived such poorly sutured wounds as these
A benevolent force would write us all off as a failed experiment
Deep breaths of fresh disease make for an intoxicating breeze
I'll be empirical as the souls repent

Behold, nothing's left inspired for us now
Our circadian rhythms gone
We're lost to the false and the vain

Plains of vitriol spawned from our ignorance
All hail the recipient of the defector, collector of the damned
Our covetous nature has plagued the dark recesses of our minds for too f*cking long
Unrest in the shadow of a hope of reconcile, the earth wants recompense

Stand tall at the brink of our decline
Plunge without knowing the truth that you have been theirs all this time
Low and behold

Behold, nothing's left inspired for us now
Our circadian rhythms gone
We're lost to the false and the vain

Our homes shall burn for the lives we've earned
Your hope's pyre burns bright
Our great divide
Smoke in our eyes
Become the night

And we'll bow to you our chosen oppressor
I'll be your right hand
I'll become the antimartyr
Entrenched in your purity
