With Things As Bad As They Are (Demo)

lyrics

As our closest die
cascade of irreparable bitterness resides
numbness fills a shrinking a heart as tragedy sets in
no one can begin to speak in time

With everything in place
there isn’t any room to reach them
before they reach the gates
guilt that digs like elbows in you reddens to a bruise
it’s all that you can do to seem sane

Stars aligned to sabotage the world this year
In highs and lows we’re extra high in fear
And with things as bad as they are why does it feel the worst is yet to come?

A friend disappears
fades from view and changes til you almost forgot
until you come across the words;
a friend of friend
telling that they have passed away

Where love once was shared
barren, thoughtless occupants are locked in cold stares
separate rooms and exit wound contortioned and bare
bleeding on until the tape runs out

Stars aligned to sabotage the world this year
In highs and lows we’re extra high in fear
And with things as bad as they are why does it feel the worst is yet to come?

All the unanswered tears
the devastated, shattered lives
the drowned and missing
lost for words and praying, waiting
the wait of their lives
and they may close their eyes before they know

And with all this to try
to push through and carry on
They still have the nerve
to send the ones we know and love
to die in the dirt
Disgraced and undeserved
and they’re unscathed?

What the fuck is wrong with all the world this year?
Does anyone feel anything but hate and greed and fear?
And with things as bad as they are why does it feel the worst is yet to come?
In highs and lows we’re extra high in fear
And with things as bad as they are why does it feel the worst is yet to come?

Safely where you are
I know you’re feeling sadder than ever before
even in your dreams it seems there isn’t any hope
and we all leave alone
