lyrics

For the years that I've been chained up,
For the self that I've confined,
For the withering and the suffering,
For my loneliness in time.

I have regrets,
For my soul it was consumed,
And I'm not afraid of dying,
for the years of soul abuse.

What's troubling me,
I bow down to knees.

Crawl!
Claw back inch by inch!

Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Over me

Tell me now I'm suffering,
That only you can see,
I'm worshipping perfection,
Repeating litanies.
Cause they are right, they preach my light,
Don my crown of thorns.
A worm for all the selfless suffering,
Flogging dead the horse!

What's troubling me,
I bow down to knees.

I crawl!
Claw back inch by inch.
Broken!
Beaten, soiled soul.
I refuse, I will rise!
Don't let 'em keep you down!

Dead from all the silence,
Numb from blinding seas,
Drowning in the waves of torment and condescending screams.

I wish the pain would rip away,
And then maybe I'd see,
I'd have my own voice coming back,
As hoarse as it may seem.

What's troubling me,
I bow down to knees.

I crawl!
Claw back inch by inch.
Broken!
Beaten, soiled soul.
I refuse, I will rise!
Don't let 'em keep you down!

Practice the same lies that make us insane!
Worship the same lies that douse us in pain!

Pain, seeking the pain,
Past, seeking the suffering,
Pain, seek the pain,
Break all of your mental prisons!

Crawl!

I am naked my heart beating!
At least it's my own beat this!
Broken skulls but open eyes,
pains of perseverance!

I worshiped the same lies,
I practiced them all.
But my worries of being herem
That I'll return to fall...
to my knees.

Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Sold my soul!
Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Feed the hole!
Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
Worst of all!
Practice the same lies,
Hold the same lies,
Worship the same lies,
I sold my soul to be...

Someone,
Someone,
Else!

Between The Lies Adelaide, Australia

We gotta stop living in the past. We've spent too long reminiscing on what we were and not what we are now. We gotta revolutionise ourselves and write music that pushes the boundaries musically and mentally.
