Altar of Progress

There is no where in the world
 That I would rather be
 I close my eyes in the dark
 And I hear everything
 Write down the answers
 I need to function normally
 Turn the ideas to ash
 As long as we agree
 It must be something I read
 That said to curse the heat
 The scale is red in my head
 I'm tasting mercury
 I burned the journal
 I'm lost but I feel so elite
 I know you're miles away
 But right in front of me
 Dead weight on everyone
 I spill my throat across the planet
 Cause I'm so fun, and I swear
 They'll lie to comfort you
 Just give me one more conversation
 And I'll prove it to you
 Feel my face in the vapor
 My crimes complete
 I'm my own worst enemy in between
 Each humid day I regret the sun
 Sampling death I press my luck
 In the eye of self loathing i see real clear
 As my empathy leaks out in one sweet tear
 Healing drenched in the dark
 As the drip drops down
 Not a soul in the world
 Who could feel so proud
 I shouldn't be surprised
 Everything we analyze
 Is so far from the truth
 I try to tell myself i'm hard to read
 It'll return to me
 I lie to myself, nothing better to do
 The scripture not so loud
 Burnt all the churches down
 Tore all the pages out
 Destroy what they steal
 Turning the furnace up
 Earning the concern of
 All of my friends who
 Believed they were real
 I shouldn't be surprised
 Everything we analyze
 Is so far from the truth
 I try to tell myself i'm hard to read
 It'll return to me
 I lie to myself, nothing better to do
 I shouldn't be surprised
 Everything we analyze
 Is so far from the truth
 I try to tell myself i'm hard to read
 It'll return to me
 I lie to myself, nothing better to do
