Weak And The Wounded Lyrics - Beyond The Embrace

Closed eyes that walk among us, building castles in the air 

Lost in degeneration, absence in all you know 

Shed skin to hide reflection leaving no trail behind 

Neck deep in contradiction 

Forked tongue behind the smile 

Making its way in the dark 

About to decide which way to go 

A life of disdain, a world left unchanged 

Condemned to swim against the grain 

The sun sets on existence, as one drowns in the flow 

The bending sea forever circles around us all 

We've built a culture where ignorance is bliss 

Brought unto this world human inflicted 

Why should we fall to the masses each day? 

Why did we come this far to just turn back anyway? 

We're auditioning for our own demise, and immune to the screaming 

So tie me up alone, far from the system hold 

I feel no patience, I see no cure 

Evolved in reverse 

Rise, fall...it's your choice 

How did it all come to this??? 

I want to know why...
