Altar of Progress Lyrics by GenCAB

Thoughts Beyond Words

2021

There is nowhere in the world
That I would rather be
I close my eyes in the dark
And I hear everything
Write down the answers
I need to function normally
Turn the ideas to ash as long as we agree
It must be something I read
That said to curse the heat
The scale is red in my head
I'm tasting mercury
I burned the journal
I'm lost but I feel so elite
I know you're miles away
But right in front of me
Dead weight on everyonе
I spill my throat across the planet
Cause I'm so fun, and I swеar
They'll lie to comfort you
Just give me one more conversation
And I'll prove it to you
Feel my face in the vapor
My crimes complete
I'm my own worst enemy
In between each humid day
I regret the sun
Sampling death, I press my luck
In the eye of self loathing, I see real clear
As my empathy leaks out in one sweet tear
Healing drenched in the dark
As the drip drops down
Not a soul in the world
Who could feel so proud
I shouldn't be surprised
Everything we analyze
Is so far from the truth
I try to tell myself I'm hard to read
It'll return to me
I lie to myself, nothing better to do
The scripture not so loud
Burnt all the churches down
Tore all the pages out
Destroy what they steal
Turning the furnace up
Earning the concern of
All my friends who believed they were real
