I've never been so restless, sitting here so stagnant

But I guess that's why peace and grief are a piece of chaos, just a fraction

My perception of this life's deceptions, giving me conniptions

But I learned the hard way you gotta pay with an eye, amputation

So let hell and heaven blur here on Earth, rip up the grass and give birth

To a truth I've never heard, of words beyond a heartbeat's worth

Splice me open with the blade of love and hate

Until I'm bleeding our fates, a bitter serenade

But I've been singing the same lies just to buy a date

With something high above my cries, I can't wait

Until time takes my fear for bait in its cosmic haste

No, I can't wait for salvation, just for a moment's taste

I've never pulled and pushed while so weak, eternal prison

The walls a cycling cyclone, these clouds one day'll weep a potion

And cleave the skies in half, let winds sweep away the notion

Of a fool's blind faith dipped so deep in toxic devotion

So, feed my soul's dying existence, sing hallelujah's dissonance

Dried the last drop on my tongue, now I'm drunk with defiance

Splice me open with the blade of love and hate

Until I'm bleeding our fates, a bitter serenade

But I've been singing the same lies just to buy a date

With something high above my cries, I can't wait

Until time takes my fear for bait in its cosmic haste

No, I can't wait for salvation, just for a moment's taste

Tell me divine beings what have you been hiding

Inside the light's shadows, such bravado, so conniving.

I'm dying, I'm fighting, helplessly spying

Through the looking glass, it's cracking

Me, redefining the signing of my

Body to Satan for cheap enlightening

Splice me open with the blade of love and hate

Until I'm bleeding our fates, a bitter serenade

But I've been singing the same lies just to buy a date

With something high above my cries, I can't wait

Until time takes my fear for bait in its cosmic haste

No, I can't wait for salvation, just for a moment's taste
