Contortion - Desperate Defiance Lyrics

Restraining purpose
By no fault, of my own
This life is worthless
A path I won't condone
I've opened my eyes
To this destruction and full corruption
I sift through the lies
You're giving nothing, um finding nothing
I've been down this path before, and I know just where it leads
A life of hate and destitute, and I'm caught in between
Now you've been lead astray with no place left to hide
So step up to the plate because it's your turn to die
Revealing frailty
The fear before the fall
Desperate defiance
Caught up within the thrall
Apathetic displacement
We feed the machine, I'm feeling unclean
Programmed and complacent
Indentured servants, and lifeless hermits
We've heard these lies before, and we know just what they mean
A crippling condition, obliterating dreams
It's almost laughable; you resolve to change the past
Can't placate everyone, so will see who's laughing last
No way out, in it now, falling down
Fell victim to compliance
It's futile
Betrayal
Beautiful
In your desperate defiance
I've opened my eyes
To this destruction and full corruption
Still sifting through lies
I'm finding nothing. You're giving nothing
Revealing frailty
The fear before the fall
Desperate defiance
Lost sight and losing all.
