Somewhere in noiseless lanes young wandering couples still embrace to feel whole again one sick, the other shivers seeking out an end before the world depletes itself Have you ever seen the wasted lives? still screaming out their chorus brings such unbearable comfort when the sounds make it under your skin have you ever felt the dimming lights? still beaming out condemning us to ever darker shadows and it never ends Lives meant to fall apart are held together by their hope corrupts the heart dark smoke will always rise a listless joining with good works left undone

Juche 02:56
No words can describe how this hunger eats away in a frenzy fed by loss, fear and loss each day, smaller rations claim our wage yet, we remain unchanged by this simple bloodless coup, where men's pride we'll drag heavy as a weight No quarter should be given to unburied dead Bright and distant like aircraft lights stands the promise of a life like a lamp who's light you've lit but through the process drained your sight revolution knows only blame first as whispers then as screams Sewing only seeds to feed our loss
3.
Every thief is made familiar when castes draw us into lines we have no pity left for such ranks haven't pity for ourselves two echos never in repose From common earth to common grave All lives will be slaves to other slaves or caged and indebted to themselves As together they had fallen so together they will lie a toast to the weak mutes their defeat while trampled underneath the feet of an ever restless mob is the ever restless mob From common earth to common grave Kneaded like clay with their own blood into forms they won't know while living tethered to stagnant homes that were handed down As together they had fallen to their fears so together they will lie sewn together by their fate til death we're enslaved
4.
Losing direction fearing that we've been down this road before needing to bring back a meaning to the words and notes to their sounds or feel the privilege there was in holding one's hand These intensions grow bleak or go numb leaving us to watch our works turn to rust dig in deeper to know just where you'll lie graves are dug in comfort where there's worn a rut So pick a poison that it may guard us all from our fears because knowing your fate does nothing at all to diminish it's pain without a passion without a purpose our limbs will dig up and make hollow the earth
5.
Staged etiquette, waring words, leave out the answers that they said could heal all of these wounds forced to forget, leaving the past, leaving the actions that you took up to those who weren't there breathe in all the blame, scaring the lungs your innards will bleed without a source you will drown in yourself Ignite fiction, bred from reaction could it silence the loss and bring death without pain? Bound to repeat, vividly bright the image in your mind will soon blind leaving you more alone Caught in between, not quite dead, not quite asleep It turns earth into fire, declares the absence of all faith but still claims piety blood washes out every road that could lead you back to health now nothing will return Bleed yourself and watch the color fade away Dead drums beat but the pulse remains lost
