lyrics

time waits for no one
so how did it sneak up on me?
hope is an illusion
so i'll take from you
what's been taken from me
and now the world comes into focus
i open up the sky
tear it all asunder
watch everything die
with a soul crushing gesture
i turn you to dust
if i tear your eyes out
would you blindly trust?
my hands hold electricity
there's fire in my throat
as i've become death
you've become smoke
and the cinders of all that
you thought you believed
are a monument forgotten
scattered debris

how can you find meaning
in a hell such as this?
this volatile sun
burns indifferent and cruel

i cast my eyes down
on the ruins i've made
and expect to feel regretful
lost and afraid
but my heart fills with pride
at this demon i've released
cause he looks just like me
and my mind is at peace
lock your gaze backward
and maybe you'll see
that the fate you have suffered
was the one meant to be
for we all are monsters
who dehumanize
yes we all look like monsters
through tired, bitter eyes.
