Metaphor

cracks in the foundation
a skeleton of a structure
humanity under sedation
tarnished blood no cure
one more lost servant
preaching Jesus saves
in these times so urgent
we're all their slaves

do you believe
in something you've never seen
why can't you conceive
a metaphor so serene

the body is a temple
and we all abuse it
cut and clean it's simple
we're so full of shit
one more lost prayer
missing the mark
another game another player
ignite the spark

do you believe
in something you've never seen
why can't you conceive
a metaphor so serene

life is death
it's a metaphor
a fucking metaphor
hold your breath
for a metaphor
a goddamn metaphor
nothing will change
we're a metaphor
a fucking metaphor
always the same
another metaphor
a goddamn metaphor

loss of faith
it's divine intervention
loss of faith
it's only complication
i said loss of faith..
