Slow Rotting, Fast Decay

The wax is melting,

Our statues falling out of place,

Who's seen a sculptor,

We're nearly faceless.

Is there some way too,

Give us back our grace,

I think we're carving out our bones.

I know the place that I will hide in,

Falling for your mantra.

Give me one honest reason,

The one I should believe in.

We walked on solid ground,

Look where that got us now,

The beauty,

The bloodshed,

Can't keep these wolves at bay.

Relentless,

Unbending,

Slow rotting fast decay.

Cover the fractures,

Things we don't see when we're too close,

We lie in ruins,

I am assuming,

That there's a sculptor to shape the contours how they were,

I think they're built right from our bones.

I know the place that I will hide in,

Falling for your mantra.

Give me one honest reason,

The one I should believe in.

We walked on solid ground,

Look where that got us now,

The beauty,

The bloodshed,

Can't keep these wolves at bay.

Relentless,

Unbending,

Slow rotting fast decay.

This death is slow,

When hope burns so alone.

We lay ruin,

The exits moving,

This is the place we once called home.

Give me one honest reason,

The one I should believe in.

We walked on solid ground,

Look where that got us now,

The beauty,

The bloodshed,

Can't keep these wolves at bay.

Relentless,

Unbending,

Slow rotting fast decay.

This death is slow,

When hope burns so alone.

We lie in ruins,

The exits moving,

This is the place we once called home.
