Ashes....we all fall down

The beautiful tidal wave of testosterone and estrogen
Sweep through the markets the second the doors open
Shuffling here and there in a rude 6-foot entourage
Masks hide their ugly faces scaring children along the way
Death is upon them, they're acting like its on sale today
Strength in numbers is a fallacy now

It baffles me how easily they fall for the herd running
Everything is so loud,
The speakers become the virus,
spewing lies and fear in each program
the voices in my head are like a choir from hell
Now everything is just a fucking tie-in
Gazing at the bodies, crashing through the aisles
I've never felt skin to be so disgusting
As I do now.

All the petals of the roses I've plucked
the thorns I've smoothed to the touch
Cower to the homes that they've built out of mud
While I've built a tower of pestilence
that I've grown to love,
Everyday they throw stones at the window
That I gaze out of.
