Concrete Ceiling

the first shot cast was a fucking disgrace
deterrent burn, set ablaze at the stake
so next one wouldn't pass for mistake
locked shut, here we stand, loaded clip to the face
an offering of frailty is the common disease
longing for the venom so the hounds may feast
on the flesh and blood under pale dead skin
leave nothing, leave nothing
the silver linings are towers of gold
see how far we've come
is the story we are told
the silver linings are towers of gold
human life is just a casualty
your offering only common disease
servant to their gratification
we remember their name
we remember their name
