Babylon

City
Stone
Cold
Reason
Unfeeling
With no meaning
Or honour

Pity
Lines
The gutter
Born customer
Ceased believing

Blind teller
Blackmailing

What's left to buy
But reason to compare?
Find no delight
In being self-aware

Strive till the night
Blinded by despair
Vie for the light
Never see an end

No let up
Forever

Faith is
Ne'er enough
Emptied of meaning
Days have become
Bathed in carrion
Given all warning
I actеd not

Life's cinder's fading
Liars and schemas
Thеy tie to me
Bind to me
Anchor me down

It has become
Obvious to me now
This nightmare
Amputated
My pride
Cut off all wanting
Yet I survive

You see
I had reasons enough
Given up hoping
I acted not

Turn back
You've reasons enough
You won't get out
You are tied to me
Still

Loser
You won't get out
You can't escape me
You're frightened to leave
