The Unobtainable

from Dawn by Eraless

lyrics

(Lyrics written by: Derek Michael Burgess & Jordan Lee Clark)

Jordan:
I have seen the callous and empty
crave the unobtainable

Derek:
"Words of the weak are drenched in fear...

This programmed existence is paralyzed by fear:
-Fear of the ever-changing
-Fear of this world
-Fear of the nothingness that (in death) takes hold."

(An iconic reign of pitiful shame)

Jordan:
Lines through these pages
(This hate made of eloquence)
Words forged from happenstance
(Becoming the narcissist)

Derek:
"These words scribbled in thick ink seem to
preach worthless points and distort meanings"

Jordan & Samantha:
Nihil ex nihilo
From nothing comes nothing

Derek:
"Mankind is hopeless... truthfully hopeless...
and has been since the beginning of it all..."

(An ignorant reign of pitiful shame)

Jordan:
I am the narcissist trapped in these words
Conflict, resolution, and frustration converge

Derek:
"These words (scribbled in thick ink) seem to
preach worthless points and distort meanings-"

Jordan & Samantha:
Nihil ex nihilo
From nothing comes nothing

Derek:
Broken men fall to their knees with crippled hands, locked and seized
The damned and repulsive papers burn; a finality fit for senseless tomes
The damned and repulsive papers burn; a finality fit for senseless tomes
