Carnage and Candor Lyrics

This night is long – forever. I drag this cross until the end. And so I ache. Despite all my endeavors, what has been done will always be, and so I ache… So I ache; this is it, the suffering, the epitome of self-defeat in humankind. Blistering discrepancy, the gleaming scar is peeling through the outer layer. Trapped inside a feeble mind, this is the ground that nourishes the fall of virtue. There is no heaven for us. Life is all about the pain you don’t cause. Stain your soul, give in to lust. Tear down what you’ve built throughout all those years. Hurt yourself, damage the one: take a leap and throw your heart away. Long indeed is the night. Though forlorn, I was still not alone. Your kind words made it worse, made it burn – For I know your love. Now, sometimes, you see… I lose sight, I heal. Undeserved; This curse of mine, calling for despair. Suffer in vain.
Rite of the hopeless. You wallow in mud, ride with the lowest. Exit the shame, enter the thrill. Destroy yourself! Fill in the void, carnage and candor. It tears you apart, bitter and sweet. There is no self, rather a jigsaw and so you forget, so you dissolve. When the winds howl, douse the lot in gas. Find your way out, reject all the blame – hanging glory. Snow has come and below lies death. While it thaws, be there. Blight, decay, old ways… They remain in the same old place. So I ache, for you, what was…
