Praising the Realm of Loss Lyrics

I burned the bridges left behind. Your mortal warmth just fading pride. All your efforts to numb the pain - a dying wish to remain. Waking hours spent in denial, longing for a state not so vile. Closing ranks - the path of fear. A brutish move to dodge the spear. Where are we going when there is nowhere left to go? When all we long for is isolation and celestial tranquility? Where will our paths take us when all these social duties have filled us up and made us numb? At the end of the road to serenity will life be worth living? In our dependency, we proclaim the realm of loss. Our togetherness may just be (a) social weakness. I live to be free from the herd but let's be honest I'm as human as I could be. I wish I could breach the social code - turn away, stay away from all you maggots. Every and then this urge it cripples me. solitude is divine - people are poison. Feed me with your nonsense until I am fat and dull. In silence, I dwell - ashes to ashes. Rise above - all alone means back together. Save yourself from your bitter self. Rise above the awkwardness of life. Tell the truth - I can't be without you.
