lyrics

Another day passes and I wonder, what the hell is wrong with us?
A loathsome species fueled by ire in singularity
Consumed with contempt unable to understand why
We’re dying, our foolish pride unable to accept we’ve failed
With clenched fists we reject our fellow man, lonely in the solitude we’ve fought so hard to bury ourselves in

Through introspection I’m filled with disgust

Here we go again
Another broken, beaten, subdued soul lies rotting
Rejected, unable to take solace in a society of lies
Arms retract, snatching hopes and dreams of things ever getting better
Out of sight out of mind, I don’t care anymore

And I look inside
I see reflections in the hatred
Of an odious world that we created

Is this truly what the state of man has become? Or is this what we’ve always been?
Following a stream of endless hedonism, only to drown in the currents if unending emptiness
Unwilling to help each other grow, taking pleasure in the struggle of others

Through introspection I’m filled with disgust

Abhorrent desires reflect the state of which we live
Dejection fills us like a disease, terminal
The frailty of man apparent as the world collapses at our feet
And yet we will not lift a finger to apply pressure to the wound
Black oozes from our veins seeping into the ground, feeding weeds of bleakness

And I look inside
I see reflections in the hatred
Of an odious world that we created

Radiant in my hypocrisy, I thought I was a good man, but I guess not, I’m sorry
Filled with greed and apathy, I retreat into selfish resolve
Unable to recognize who I am, just who have I become?

And as I look towards the horizon, everything fades away

Did I ever truly care, or was it all a façade to feel better about a cold existence?
The world continues to turn, on an axis of uncaring spite
With open arms towards death, we’ve rejected life

And I look inside
I see reflections in the hatred
Of an odious world that we created
I see reflections in the hatred
Of an odious world that I created
