Built Beneath the Lies
Eyehategod Lyrics

Plate glass shatters in my head
My mind is filled with countless shattered thoughts and ideas.

Talk is cheap for what it's worth
Words hold little value and meaning in the grand scheme of things.

For worthless right
The concept of what is considered morally correct or just holds no significance.

Forget the truth it's out of sight
We choose to deny or ignore the uncomfortable reality that lies hidden from our view.

Thinking back behind the line
Reflecting upon the boundaries and limitations we have imposed upon ourselves and our thoughts.

Doors that lock will end today
The closing of opportunities and possibilities will come to an end.

To the day before I died
Recalling a time before I became emotionally or spiritually numb and disconnected from life.

Born with stitches in my eyes
From my very existence, I have been burdened with a distorted and damaged perception of the world.

My eyeless sight
Despite having the ability to see, I am blind to the true essence of existence.

Bastard sons go up in flame
The rejected and marginalized individuals of society are consumed by a destructive fire.

Plugged into the full machine
We are trapped and intertwined within a corrupt, all-encompassing system.

Hostile, holy and diseased
Our nature is characterized by aggression, false righteousness, and an inherent sickness.

Wasted human teeth
Our words hold no value and are wasted in their emptiness.

Let go of the crutch
We must release our reliance on false comforts or coping mechanisms.

This maze is made for rats
Our existence is akin to being trapped in a complex and purposeless maze.

Built beneath the lies
Our lives are constructed upon a foundation of deception and falsehoods.

Execute this drug warrant
We must confront and overcome the destructive influence of addiction and dependency.

Nobody's war, cold-blooded war
The conflicts and battles we engage in are devoid of true purpose or righteousness.

Another mouth to shut
Another voice that must be silenced or suppressed.

We never understand
We perpetually remain ignorant and fail to grasp the complexity of our existence.

No ending or a pause
There is no respite or temporary cessation to our struggles and turmoil.

The silence is the price
The cost of maintaining the illusion of peace is the suppression of our true thoughts and emotions.

Wretched from the start
Our lives have been marked by suffering and misery from the very beginning.

Boredom keeps the beat
A sense of monotony and emptiness permeates our existence, dictating the rhythm of our lives.

Kerosene and speed
We seek solace and escape through substances that provide temporary relief or excitement.

When vacancy's distressed
When our emptiness and lack of fulfillment become overwhelming, we spiraling into a state of distress.

Distressed
Emotionally and mentally overwhelmed, trapped in a constant state of anguish and turmoil.
