about

(the narrator recognizes the sad life he has built for himself- but realizes that tomorrow could bring change upon fading from consciousness)

lyrics

immaculately weak, this blueprint for decay
etched in the setting sun of this my darkest day
impeccably flawed- enslaving all in my eyes
to lifting this fractured mass; immense in alll its lies

monumental and divine- a legend inside my own mind
a visage no one cares to see
erected on fragile ground, its foundation sinking down
into the earth's great cavity
i can be beautiful to no one else but me

breathtakingly dessicated, features worn into mar
a blight upon the skyline- an unsutured living scar
painstakingly imperfect, a wretched ode to hate
infectious in all its meaning- its message always to perpetuate

monumental and divine- a legend inside my own mind
a visage no one cares to see
erected on fragile ground, its foundation sinking down
into the earth's great cavity
i can be beautiful to no one else but me

the only hope there's left to pray is that the earth will give way- abandoning me in the dark
that there is no evidence of this being bereft of sense- that there is no discerned mark
forgotten in the void of time to leave a changed world sublime, free from my vitrolic sin
perhaps then i can repent beneath the cleansing sediment- i can mindfully begin again....
