Take It Black Lyrics by Americas

Hard Data

2014

Asterisks get attached to years that get entwined with another time
Back before the core was smoldered out and all was left to die
No one questions why, they're just comfortable enough to care that their petulant lives
Aren't interrupted by the screams and these tortured stares
Of the children whos only crime was being cast aside
All failed seekers of the myth
Instead there's rapture upon the souls that swerve between the lines
Never cared to decide that the road is full of logs and boulders
Blocking passage by, no one questions why
They're just comfortable enough to care that their petulant lives
Aren't interrupted by the graves they'll be tossed in
When they whither and pass the torch to the next corpse
All failed seekers of the myth
Like warriors spawned of garbage, they're prepared to die
For lost causes, now well encounter all these souls which hide
Behind their prideful guise (and their petulant lives)
And we'll lift their masks off
Why can't every mother feed the child and soothe its endless cries
Why can't anyone ascend, instead a slow decline
Why with every chance (that we get) to lift their masks off, all is ended, lost
Why can't it come off
Black is night and all is color
With an homage, we call it all somber
I've felt unsatisfied about another
And with a sigh I say it all just sucks
