Lyrics Clamor Beneath - Withered

Clamor Beneath

I’ve seen you watch the suffering within your world of hope
Your tears rinse away the shame you’ve felt from long ago
Your time has been spent seeking the path to righteousness
Each tear will bring you your reward of higher consciousness
Eyes, burn, eyes, numb
You clamor, strive to keep the grace of narcissistic peers
They watch you, misshapen &distorted through their callous tears
Sufferers, distraught with self pity
Cleansing your pain with empty tears
Mass congregation, breeding ignorance
Corrupting the path, like those before you
Each day i wake, i suffer moments of clarity
Moments of realization and truth
I look out upon the masses, i look down upon the masses
Sympathy sways to disregard
The weight of humanity presses upon me
Thorns of contempt and of disgust
Strip away all my compassion
Caricatures, in words and deeds
Eyes, burn, numb
Drown in tears
