State of Slow Decay

It is my reflection But I know it’s not me I am becoming something else I feel the weight of the key This place is falling apart There’s no way back Passing through the gates A new shadow will reveal itself The stories have run their course None of them make sense We’re all someone else’s fool Buried in our own debris Destroy the things you know Destroy yourself in shame Before tomorrow comes Destroy everything Faith alone won’t sustain We’re in a state of slow decay I hear forgive and forget But I see there’s no way Seen it through the accolades It all should be a great success But there are so many burdens World is heavy and full of distress
