Lyrics The Cosmos In A Box - Inked In Blood

The Cosmos In A Box

The silence terrifies us
We can’t stand the sound of our own voices
We are addicted to distracting ourselves
Anything to keep our minds from becoming still
What humanity truly fears is hidden in our insignificance
Our pride won’t save us from this discovery
Where our minds end remains existence
The blood of these questions will spill outside of our fortresses
Desperation is the blade we use to kill, and we kill the silence
To pacify ourselves to the point of self-denial
Terror comes when our egos reach their end
And we are faced with the problem of existence
I won’t believe that this is happening;
but there is no coincidence for me to
rely on
With the silence comes awareness — with the silence comes the fear
Your heart of stone
Give me my fix: for I can’t stand the silence, the terror drives me mad
For I won’t face the questions, this problem of existence
