Skyquake Lyrics - Assemblage 23

The morning broke with eerie silence 

The ground beneath us cracked and dry 

Too self-absorbed to even notice 

The cracks that formed up in the sky 

Twisting 

Turning 

Freezing 

Burning 

Tearing 

Fusing 

Lucid 

Confusing 

Open reception 

Forceful rejection 

dreaming and waking 

the process is taking too long 

Take what we need at our convenience 

Another quick means to an end 

Too busy thinking of excuses 

For a practice we cannot defend 

Collapsing under its own weight 

The sky burns out 

As we kiss oblivion 

Upon its toothy mouth 

Your well-being does not concern us 

Any worries you must keep inside 

Do as we're told without a reason 

We never bother to ask why 

Collapsing under its own weight 

The sky burns out 

As we kiss oblivion 

Upon its toothy mouth 

We walk upon the fields of fire 

The smoldering bodies of our dead 

Our self-absorption is the reason 

It's the gun we point to our own heads 

Collapsing under its own weight 

The sky burns out 

As we kiss oblivion 

Upon its toothy mouth
