Lyrics for A Violent Delight

Deception, only feature A pestilential attribute as your fame A lesson you neglect to ascertain You just disrupt, disgust, distrust, dig up, make fuss Enough's enough and I never want to see you again Before I knew it, I was playing a part in this pathetic dog And pony act you called a better living To think that everything could worsen with our sins I should have known that everyone around me Was cursed with a sense of loss Just a lesser cause, building me up just to be dropped I'll always end up questioning you "Why so condescending with your undertones?" If I go, then you'll surely fail to stay afloat The price rose, now your life is just a debt you owe All I know is that I might take it But I can't take it Now I can't take this dependency on Everything that doesn't defend me at all I dissolve just to feel the debilitation Creep in and crawl across the walls of my conscience I never want to sit amongst the ones talking dog shit If everything is nothing, how come I can't just drop this? If happiness is coming, how come I haven't caught it all to myself? I'm becoming a monster and far from capable of branching Out for help to the ones who have sworn to me absolution Send me a sign that I'll get better You can tell me a lie, I won't remember When I'm ready to die, I'll leave a letter If I hand you a knife, sign your initials It's a series of losses that halts our progression If the searing would pause, I could stop our resentment With an eerie applause, I am drawn to your presence If I show you my flaws Show me your devils With the steel cold, we'll find warmth in something grimmer Still born I'll show you my devils With the steel cold, we'll find warmth in something grimmer Still born
