Lyrics for Into Decay

The most eloquent confession, your silence The most admitting trait, your turning away Avert your eyes and hush your struggling thoughts Detachment assumed as life mutates into decay The most manifest sign, your disregard The one apparent fault, your shunning of care Contempt now bred, refed and will sustained Division now groomed, nurtured and will maintained Apathy, opprobrium Virulence and animosity This sums you up Betrayal, disunion and fear, isolation Caught in this endless spiral, locked equilibrium A stasis founded in this atrophy of thought Your eyes unflinching, unaffected by the misery Gone is commiseration, gone is any sympathy One last farewell to perspicacity Final surrender to futility Dissociation, severance What have you done? What have you become?
