Rigor

Cold reality defeats the mind
My damaged life is ill defined
My reason burns in grand despair
But why am I allowed to care?
Diffuse the coils we call betrayal
Am I in heaven or in hell?
You tell me what I've done
You tell me what I've done

Harsh divinity brings the assault
My state of logic takes the fall
My vision burns us to the ground
'Til there is no one left around
Deceive and foil to make amends
Am I in heaven or in pain?
You tell me what I've done
You tell me what I've done

I go down
Defy myself
I transpire
Despite myself

Cold reality defeats the mind
My damaged life is ill defined
My reason burns in grand despair
But why am I allowed to care?
Diffuse the coils we call betrayal
Am I in heaven or in hell?
You tell me what I've done
You tell me what I've done

My reality defeats us all
My damaged life is all I've got
My tension grows in milligrams
I'm not ashamed of what I am
Inherent wounds about to clot
Am I in heaven, am I God?
You tell me why I'm not
You tell me why I'm not

By the time I get to you
I could be ready
But there is no consequence
By the time I get to you
I could be ready
But it feels so rigorous
