Heaped Upon Us

lyrics

How to begin?
Some introductions are in order
I am the used. I am the banished.
I am the wretched waste he had to taste
He had the plans
Turned me against myself
He took my fragile state to his advantage
If I am a man, but man has broken me
How can I tread this promised path?

No matter
The destruction
Heaped upon us we are asked to just proceed
But I'm straining
Beneath the weight
Of the futility of what we're all supposed to be

And years elapse and he just slips away
And I try to sift through the debris
But there's no slowing down
You must seize your pleasures
Expectations wait impatiently
So there I go: A desecration walking
And I'd kill myself to heal

It's catching up - Now it's almost on me
When it floods in I will be pushed against the edge
Of what my life can hold
Of what my will can bear
And I'll see if I'm alone
And I will face my history

No matter
The destruction
Heaped upon us we are asked to just proceed
But I'm straining
Beneath the weight
Of the futility of what we're all supposed to be
What we're all supposed to be
