Like Drowning Lyrics

Blindly follow

Blindly follow

Blindly follow

Blindly follow

Come one, come all, come pestilence

Misplace your faith in ignorance 

Feed the beast sat on your back

It claws, it bites

The centre cannot hold

Malignant

Self-destructive conditioning 

Suffocates us all

Pierced the heart like splinters

What have we become

We swim

In an oceans breadth of misery

With no hope

And no purpose

We swim, We swim

We swim, We swim

Until we sink beneath the surface

All of our yesterdays

Their false promises

Burn like a fuse

Things fall apart

Like they always do

Despair

Despair

You'll find no mercy here

In times of turmoil 

Innocence is the first against the wall

Call - on your dogs

Howl

How they come running

Addicted to the scent of war

We sink

In an ocean's depth of misery

Seeking peace beneath the surface

Flogging a dead horse

In a futile performance

Hands blistered

Eyes sunken

Lifeless this feels like drowning

Repent

Repent

Sack cloth and the ashes of the penitent

Why seek redemption

When there's no one listening anyway

Call

On your dogs

Howl

How they blindly run into the mouth of war

Into the mouth of war

Suffocate

Your empathy

God forbid you risk your neck

To show humanity

Here's another hand to bite

Here a splinter for your eye

Calloused hands wrapped around your throat

And a thorn in your fucking side

Lie

You wear failure like a fucking virtue

Lie

Blind faith, hive mind, hive mind, hive mind

Repent

Repent

Once again they call

We drown 

In the depths of misery

Find peace beneath the surface

When will it end?
