SALOME LYRICS

1. The Message

Burning through
Ignite the visible

A disowned and disposed place
Transparent white sound
Almost seen

Ignite the visible
Illusion raw and black

Exposed narcosis

A distant impression
The truth transfixed

2. Terminal

My mind circulates
Thoughts of passing
Discolored and dry
Terrified

Bled of connection
Voiceless
Dejected
Without definition

I'll be no one
To obliterate the mind's invention

I'll surrender to mouthing affirmations
Helpless in my own severance
Eaten up by my own thoughts

Dangerous in my ignorance
Deep in my dead revolving dream

Mourning my body
Dull and frail

I'll be no one

3. Master Failure

We can't endure
We face what you can't heal
All trust is lost

You refuse to sacrifice
We all suffer
Ordain the end

You refuse to change your nature
We all suffer

Convert me to your truth
This lived
This happened

We tried, we failed
Ordain the end
We all suffer

4. Epidemic

We are the epidemic
Our complacent
God ridden family

You hold me fixed
Like a corpse
Inanimate
The quiet leech
You hold me
Like a loving fear
The quiet leech

Draining, draining
The emotional trench

Swollen
Our dream
Undoing ourselves in
His design

5. An Accident of History

6. The Witness

Through the witness
Relive repressed
Tremor
Disturbance
The vitality of fear

Open and afraid
Confront sickness and misery
Look deeply into disaster
Fight the sense of self

Everything lets go
Into everything else

Reaction slows reflex
Impulse absorbed
Open
Unaffected existence

Descend deeply
Dissolve the unreal
Look deeply into disaster
Dissolve the unreal

7. The Unbelievers

At war
With the crowd

The power to rule
Internal manipulation

At war with
Authority

Every man and woman
Raised to cower
By abuse
By withholding of love

Nothing is worth autonomy
Nothing is worth dignity

The crowd became a voice
For the psyche
The crowd became a voice
For superficial want
Of contempt
Emotional wreckage
Swallowed depression

The crowd became a voice
Of jealousy
Dissatisfaction

By abuse
We were made to cower

To be less
Than who we are
To be less
Than truth
