Abscess Time Lyrics

Swollen, it swelters in its veil of flesh
Contagion restrained by a trembling crust
The stench of our failures, confined under pressure
Fermenting in darkness, awaiting a rupture
Liquid debasement perverting the body

And when our old cells can hold back no longer
And the murmur of sepsis grows too loud to smother
Our sins will burst forth for the whole world to see
Our ocean of pale, sickly sweetness flowing free
Fluid confession consuming the city

The rush of our pus will bleach the cruel streets
For when all is corruption, no act is obscene
