Decomposition

Every day a new terror
An endless script to improvise
Each shade a little darker
Cuts deeper than you'll realize

More than you will ever know
Was all part of a show
Messages become unclear
Part of the greatest song you will never hear

Decomposition sets in
Long before you've even died
Left painting in the corner
Sour grapes overtake the vine

Experiments in atonement
Character building exercise
On display in the open
A fresh batch of wool for your eyes

What more can we tell ourselves?
How much do we really want to know?
Messages become unclear
Part of the greatest song you will never hear

Decomposition sets in
Long before you've even died
Left painting in the corner
Sour grapes overtake the vine

Swallowing more than you can chew of your pride
Everything that you knew of you washes out with the tide

Don't save it at all
The fall will redeem us all

Decomposition sets in
Long before you've even died
Left painting in the corner
Sour grapes overtake the vine
