Dishonest Escape - Hammerhead Lyrics

I WATCHED THIS UNFOLD
IVE BEEN THERE TO HOLD

I should die
You should watch me whither away
Physical death, soul retrieval
We will rise

I'll bleed and release who I've been
Only you remain
To peel the flesh off your neighbor
And spit in my face again

Again?

I'VE DENIED YOU PAIN
I'VE BUILT YOU AGAIN

Taking over
I spoke to the devil, but he'll never understand
You, all my children, my brothers, my blood
I know these laceration Are enough

Now I will die
You will watch me wither away
You dont know what you've done
I'll believe
Must believe
That my torture
Has only, only set you free
I've been scarred by the lack of concern
I'll forgive
I'll forget
Even though this all hurts

I've reached the peak of my time
This pressure is mine to have
My burden to bare
Not to share
They will learn
They will learn what it truly means
What it truly means
To break
Did we make a mistake?

I've watched from the other side
And I see
Nothing
I see emptiness
I see mindless vessels
Roaming the streets and filling up the cathedrals to preach the words
Of a philosophy they can't comprehend
Or begin to live by
Misinterpreted ideologies
They lie for power
The sounds they exert don't match the movements they make they
Are distorted in the worst possible way
Grossly Contorted
Father
Father
What have we done?

Beautiful children
Born into rage
Destined to pay
For their elders mistakes
I was dehumanized
Beaten Displayed
And rose from the grave
For their sake
And this is where they are now?
This is what they've all become
Annihalators of life
A beauty to none
A decomposed gift
A breath surely uncherished
Disgusting to believe
I'd rather die a thousand times over
Than to allow you to go on
Again and again

Is this what we fought for?
Destroyed mother earth for?
A pathetic power struggle
An exertion of hatred
Hypocrites for the vast majority
You are no savior
You are no disciple
You are no priest or priestess
You speak with forked tongue
And blinded eyes
Now it's your turn to die

We have to start over
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Trusting in them
