  • Where do we begin
    We are lost, we are polluted
    We are lost, we are polluted
    We are lost, we are polluted

    Where do we begin
    When everything is wrong we just forget
    Move along and we play pretend
    Surround your life with silver and gold
    Your tinsel dreams and the make believe

    Deconstructed and paralyzed
    So slowly somehow I am evaporating
    We dream to be the lesser
    A malign separate existence
    We be little ourselves to a lesser
    Being our dreams are not our dreams

    Cogitation a distant fragment
    Separate me from the whole
    My thoughts are now unchained

    And it seems that in everything
    We want isn't anything we need

    And all the signals
    We seem to have taken for granted
    We are lost, we are polluted
    Into the grey a wolf amongst ravens

    Lines flicker and twist descending
    A distorted creation from nothing
    So monstrous, so murderous

    Lay your body down
    And separate were shedding skin
    Scale by scale the filth replaces it
    You crystallize the world around you
    Your aim for the weak
    A twisting sleep breaks inside of me

    A sickness you live in
    I begin to break away
    Please set me free

    I will remain amongst the filth
    Conceal myself in this residuum
    I will remain amongst the filth
    Asking where do we begin

    We are lost, we are polluted
    We are lost, we are polluted
    We are lost, we are polluted
    We are lost, where do we begin

    We are lost, we are polluted
    We are lost, we are polluted
    We are lost, we are polluted
