Allegiance to the flesh

Allegiance to the flesh
Smiling parade of fallacies
Surrounded by empty stares
Deadened by the glare
Of your blank, lost expression
Crawl
Crawl to life

You are kissing the hand that crushes you
Kneeling to arrogance
Pledging allegiance to the flesh
Crawl
Crawl to life
Crawl to your life
Paint yourself a lie
Adore, I obsess
Cover up yesterday
I relinquish the thought of you
Wave your problems away
Everyone loves you
Betrayed by the heartless
Victim of your melting words
Jagged in my mind
Screaming bloody silence
