Apocalyptic Mural
Swallowed the cursed skeleton key
To the gates of eternity
I was weak, now I’m strong
But it’s all too much, I can’t go on
Who’s got the skill to pass the test?
Not you, only the best of the best
You’ll never know what I knew
I kept it inside, until the last breath I drew
Killed the feeling with another
How could I ever be a father?
I’ll teach the youths that the world’s on fire
Three quarters of it’s from the funeral pyres
Heart on display, but no one notices
Deep within, there are so many choices
Make them for me, I can’t take the stress
Gone off the deep end, wearing a lady’s dress
Crush the insanity, then give me a living funeral
Then help me paint an apocalyptic mural
Get inspiration from all around us, it’s so easy
But if you aren’t on my wavelength, then just leave me
To the gates of eternity
I was weak, now I’m strong
But it’s all too much, I can’t go on
Who’s got the skill to pass the test?
Not you, only the best of the best
You’ll never know what I knew
I kept it inside, until the last breath I drew
Killed the feeling with another
How could I ever be a father?
I’ll teach the youths that the world’s on fire
Three quarters of it’s from the funeral pyres
Heart on display, but no one notices
Deep within, there are so many choices
Make them for me, I can’t take the stress
Gone off the deep end, wearing a lady’s dress
Crush the insanity, then give me a living funeral
Then help me paint an apocalyptic mural
Get inspiration from all around us, it’s so easy
But if you aren’t on my wavelength, then just leave me
