DENOUEMENT Lyrics

I was a willing captive

Of my own synapses

Slogging through molasses

In a life too passive

Woven in it's fabric

All my toxic habits

Like a thousand lashes

With a coat with acid

This place once was sacred ground

Now face the conflagration as the meteors start raining down

Time's escaping

And my mind is racing

To a destination

That is always changing

I have only tasted

Of the shriveled raisins

I'm emaciated

I can't reach the grapes but

The harvest is looming

Doubt will not consume me

The current is moving

I feel it flow through me

This place once was sacred ground

Now face the conflagration as the meteors start raining down

Salt the earth and drain the sound

Genuflect for the denouement

Playing the role

Of a bitter soul

Afraid to be whole

And yield to the pull

This place once was sacred ground

Now face the conflagration as the meteors start raining down

Salt the earth and drain the sound

Genuflect for the denouement

Witness the ending

The last journal entry

My conscience is ready

Awaiting on bent knee
