silent planet - vanity of sleep lyrics

[verse 1]
this is a love affair with consumer despair [1]
an emptiness i can call my own [2]
an arbitrary sanctuary [3]
where we deposit prayers to a dispensable god [4]
welcome to the end stage age [5]
where joy is a pill and love’s a prescription
vaccinated with an outward suspicion
isolation became a pre-existing condition [6]

[verse 2]
manifested drudge of my m-ss-manufactured consent
but there’s a gaping hole in my consciousness
a deep that cries out to deep [8]
this is a love affair with consumer despair
an emptiness i can call my own
an antidote for mystery
our indifference is deafening

[interlude]
אהיה אשר אהיה
[9]
there’s a presence here [10]
it stirs inside the static dissonance of discontent that refused to relent

[verse 3]
i built a home overlooking a graveyard
to remind myself i’m still alive
yet you see a flaw still abides
as i witness an ending that i can’t contrive
we watched a golden array of a casket parade
as wealth makes its final display to the ground
i found it strange that even in this place
death became such a gainful exchange

[chorus]
give me something to hold, give me something that bleeds
i’ll scour the earth for my ident-ty [11]
is there a cure for a sick society? [12]
so rich in this world, so in debt to ourselves
the network of life in such a disconnect [13]
how many times must we die this death?

[post-chorus]
annihilation is all we are
desolation is everything i know

[verse 4]
all we are is all we love [14]
and everything i know is destructible
artificial heart, obsidian soul
encircled by dreams that are combustible [15]
we trade the garden for cities, [16] the tree for a tower [17]
surrendered our faith, became addicted to power
i know that hope grows inside of the wound [18]
and i know progress is empty [19], i must be consumed [20]
so i’ll dig through these masks till i find my face
separate from the false pretense i embraced [21]
it k!lls me to know that you’ll never find peace
you can have all the world, but you’ll never be free [22]

[outro]
tear the st-tches sewn across my existence
cut me out from this nothingness
dusk will come and lay to rest our fleeting, fading, silhouettes [23]
