Dialtone

Nothing left to say / Can't communicate
Lies they punctuate / Static suffocates
Turn down the dial
Lost with blinders on / I can see your face
In the back of my throat / This blood is all I taste
So how can I cope / If I cannot erase
The memory of hope / Revered and reviled

Nothing left to say / We lost the dial tone
Can't communicate / With this denial
Lies they punctuate / Alarms you can't disarm
Static suffocates / Turn down the dial

As we wait with bated breath / The verdict is unveiled
Hell on earth replacing death / The serpent coils its tail

I look at my flaws as I swallow the loss
Try to pinpoint the cause
The enemy inside of me
My judgment had lapsed and my world has collapsed
Now my pain has relapsed in the wake
