Eyes to Form Shadows

[Verse 1] I sense this social order in decline Our people's been assassinated by our own blind Balance bullets off last vertebrae Yo gunshots and lyrics if well aimed will reverberate There's no escape Your false Jesus promised lies I'm... serenaded by sincere tears often The honest only work to afford wooden coffins Done talking cause it's speech that allows for deceit This dialect I speak is forever bred in basements Complacent eyes are the only witness to my changes Abrasive words slurred with obtuse thought Caught by the few who do watch But lost on these blocks [Chorus] Breath below gravel Eyes to form shadows Despair always ample Structure's unraveled Breath below gravel Eyes to form shadows Head's nod But we still living shackled [Verse 2] Ample time to sleep once this vein's collapse Clasp hands in vain attempt to prey upon victims Asked for incisions to sever chest from mind Designed from remnants of nightmares broke in sections Blessings can't save designated slaves Only answer that remains to subvert whole system All systems fail But it's patience that has failed As our patriarchy's jailed to provide veiled income None listen I speak with pierced larynx Addicts move in slow increments within granite Hands bound and damaged are weapons we brandish Deemed savage by masses When this anger's just average [Chorus] Breath below gravel Eyes to form shadows Despair always ample Structure's unraveled Breath below gravel Eyes to form shadows Head's nod But we still living shackled [Bridge] That pathetic premise of freedom is false Futility of earthly flesh answers death's solemn call Within these very words lie my ancestral tongue I kept breath within collapsed left lung As I witnessed modern tower of Babel come undone These bloodshot eyes surmise that most meaning is lost [Verse 3] Lost paradise rots Vacant lots breed riots Few men defiant as we tread 'mongst giants Filthy air of liar fills lung of young lions Pierced flesh of Mayan bleeds words on papyrus Desires blurred in tortured minds of the pious None stand as righteous when judged through this iris Skin marked by man's iron Weighted souls wake when well tired The unsuspected conspire Brunt smoke from pyre fills night's sky Should we attempt to walk on water since we all crucified? These questions denied Answers just lies Sanctify history from hands of blind scribes [Chorus] Breath below gravel Eyes to form shadows Despair always ample Structure's unraveled Breath below gravel Eyes to form shadows Head's nod But we still living shackled
