Castigations

from The Haunting by Burials

/

lyrics

This entire life's a nightmare
And we'll never wake up
I'm sick of it all
Your begging for help
And the sound of your crying
When you bring it on yourselves
You should be fucking embarrassed
How am I to value you
When you're so cheaply bought?

Fake smiles and faint praise
Are all it takes to have your heart unlocked
God forbid that you fall out of favour
With the kings of the clique
Though I may be a wraith in the background
I'll make sure you bastards remember my name

This entire world's drawn out tragedy
But isn't this how it should be?
Isn't this how live should be?
All blood and teeth?
But you've taken it too far
Your expectations far exceed your worth
You sow your seeds in fallow fields
And question why in time you'll be harvesting dirt
You are all hollow imitations of copycat ideas

Nothing that you value means a fucking thing
You are the peddlers of snake oil
And tin foil tiaras
Shine your teeth til meaningless

I want to sleep with your death rattle lullaby
I want to give you a view from the ground
I want to watch your hollow world burn down
I want to drink in the ashes
And vomit you out
