Revelation of Deformity - Ancst

I try to stay alive in my concrete cell

No matter where I go, I feel hollow and alienated

Can’t cast off the shackles that bind me to this hell

There is no escape from your holding clutch

I once was bound to the promise of self-fulfillment

Now I am lost in the maze of shattered dreams

I have become an outcast, isolated in my realm

I dwell in disbelief, all alone and overwhelmed

A cell block that stretches for miles filled with empty eyes

Jammed together, human futility

Deformed and bloated, we pace the streets

Mangled and distorted, consumed by our needs

Forced to live in darkness, to devour their filth

Reigned by fear, we are dispensable, disposable, and irrelevant Human vermin

In search of life, we stumbled over existence

Bound to the gray, burst and drained

Self-regulated, fleshly machines, cursed to exist in their vacuum

I’m here to bury the splinters of myself

The abyss calls to me, I will descend

I walk these streets at night, endlessly

Released from all oaths, crippled by frailty

Can’t make sense of this, can’t make sense of me

I am a stranger to myself, drowned in misery

I have become an outcast, isolated in my realm

I dwell in disbelief, all alone and overwhelmed
