Anonymity (The Kick That Never Came)

The road to Hell is paved with the bones of daydreamers
They sing about a better way
Facedown in a lake of fire
Tongues shoving through every dull tooth toward gravedirt
... ... ...
Desperate for a taste they can savor,
But won't search further than the earth

I would sooner turn over every loose leaf in Dante's diary
Before lamenting the damned who penned their own eulogies with white-gloved hands

So it must be one long run in front of me
My Mecca, my messiah, my true home's in a black hole

Well, who's gonna dance
Onward to Bethlehem
With cold feet and shaking knees

Nobody
Has a leg to stand on

Old heat
Bleeds the void dry
A requiem for sleep
When everyone wants a lullaby
