The Burden of Our Failures - Ingested, Vincent Bennett

Consumed in a shadow, the one that I’ve created

From the guilt and sorrow, I have unrivalled hatred

An ugly life has formed, in the stagnant abyss

And you realize time won’t heal this

Looking into the void but the reflection is black

Where the past is a blade that stabs you in the back

You’re the fucking maggot, two heads fought for the prey

I’ve spoiled those sacred grounds, deceit has come your way

I see the fires burning red

A stomach filled with empty dread

Questions answered more are raised

I’ve not come out of this unscathed

Defeated by the failure, a mind that never stops

Sick of wasting days staring at a broken clock

Trying to shed old skin, convinced that’s what I seek

Life repeats itself and shows my grasp is weak

Looking into the void, but the reflection is black

Where the past is a blade, that stabs you in the back

You’re the fucking maggot, two heads, one prey

Sacred ground is spoiled, deceit has come your way

I see the fires burning red

A stomach filled with empty dread

Questions answered more are raised

I’ve not come out of this unscathed

Don’t dwell on your own, or let your life turn cold

It swallows you whole, the darkness claims your soul

And life is cold

This pressure can’t be lifted, no room I’m left constricted

A heavy burden, the weight of the world

A wasted breath, my words unheard

A heavy burden, the weight of the world

My wasted breath, the words go unheard

The burden of our failures

A heavy burden, the weight of the world
