My body’s a vessel of turmoil and fear
it shakes to the thought that I will disappear
with marks of depression with celluloid hurt
I've buried my body deep into the dirt
Throw all your carnage, your dark age, your venom away
throw all your inmates, your spit-hate, your Babel away
throw all your demons, your vices, your halos away
throw all your feces, your species, your vengeance away
count yourself in
We seek redemption but we find mistrust
(all the pain, all the guilt, all the castles that I built)
We're ashes to ashes, we’re dust to dust
(all the faith and science proof, all I gather has no truth)
Throw all your incomes, your sitcoms, your culture away
throw all your voodoo, your guru, your fake gods away
throw all your lepers, your shepherds, your bastards away
throw all your bad deeds, your sex needs, your conscience away
count yourself in
What matters when matter takes shelter in grime
(all the pain, all the guilt, all the castles that I built)
What matters when matter will cover your eyes with two dimes
(all the faith and science proof, all I gather has no truth)
Pay for hardcore future,
real pain, blood stained sugar
Pay for hardcore future,
forgive, forget, fortune
I bury my body in the dirt
All the maggots empty-fill me
all the cockroaches unbind me
I bury my body in the dirt (shut your face)
I bury my body (exhale, exhale, mole)
I bury my body in the dirt (repent)
I bury my body (this is your pain)
My unborn son from underground,
dream of clouds in the diamond sky
My sweet daughter, ray for water
in the earth of your heart and mind
My lonely child, rest for a while,
for one day you will shine with me by your side
