Lyrics

Spillways

Through benediction
You tried to rid your mind of malediction
But through all this time
You try to peel it off, and it's such a ride (ride)

Your desolation led you into this
Vile incarnation of consummated bliss
I know you need it now to make you feel alive (alive, alive)

All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain't over now

It's the cruel beast that you feed
It's your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways (spillways)

You keep a casket buried deep within
You try to mask it, but fall back in sin
You want to shake it off, but you are stuck inside

When stripped of rags of skin and spine
Human decay, Corpus dei
Terminally dispelled
And it's such a ride (ride)

All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain't over now
And I ain't talking about forgiveness
All your faith, all your rage
All your pain, it ain't over now

It's the cruel beast that you feed
It's your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
(Spillways, spillways)

It's the cruel beast that you feed
It's your burning yearning need to bleed
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul

Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
Through the spillways
Through the spillways of your soul
