State of Slow Decay

It is my reflection

But I know it's not me

I am becoming something else

I feel the weight of the key

This place is falling apart

There's no way back

Passing through the gates

A new shadow will reveal itself

The stories have run their course

None of them make sense

We're all someone else's fool

Buried in our own debris

Destroy the things you know

Destroy yourself in shame

Before tomorrow comes

Destroy everything

Our faith alone won't sustain

We're in a state of slow decay

I hear forgive and forget

But I see there's no way

Seen it through the accolades

It all should be a great success

But there are so many burdens

World is heavy and full of distress

The stories have run their course

None of them make sense

We're all someone else's fool

Buried in our own debris

Destroy the things you know

Destroy yourself in shame

Before tomorrow comes

Destroy everything

Our faith alone won't sustain

We're in a state of slow decay

I hear forgive and forget

But I see there's no way
