Motionless - The Haunted

Curse the day that you where born

Curse God above for the sheer technicalities

That will keep us apart

(We will stay separated)

Everything you say’s been said before

By someone just like you and me

It’s a comfort can’t you see?

Acting out your desperate solution

Because no one understands

(How could they ever understand?)

Once upon a time when you were strong

And you could see it clearly

(Now everything you once believed is gone)

Why does it all seem motionless?

A parody of what we could have had

I’m sick and tired of explanations

(Still blinded)

Find yourself another brick

To act out your delusions

Your fashion statement make-believe

Won’t change a god damned thing at all

Ain’t you got a better place?

Somewhere where you could be

Who you truly are?

Do you think anybody cares?

(Anybody at all?)

And if so would it matter

If you lost just a little bit

Of this superficial claim to fame

Resting on a slab cast on the shaky graves

Of those who came before you

(Oh, so hollow)

Your name becomes a trademark set solutions

To the things you never knew

(What do we ever know?)

Why does it all seem motionless?

A parody of what we could have had

I’m sick and tired of explanations

(Still blinded)

Find yourself another brick

To act out your delusions

Ten years from now you’ll wonder why

No one was there to stop you

You’ve got his eye, are you ready for the next one?

It is the appropriate exercise and the correct way

To ruin what trust we may have had

As if you’re remote controlled, as if you run automatic

I clay, mold me into something new

That I can finally be of use

Why does it all seem motionless?

A parody of what we could have had

I’m sick and tired of explanations

(Still blinded)

Find yourself another brick

To act out your delusions

Ten years from now you’ll wonder why

No one was there to stop you
