Through Smudged Lenses lyrics

Let no one be themselves

Turn of the century lies

Not within the others

Turn on the watchful eye

The blindness ends tonight

Shelter for the shattered

In unison we strive

Dare to disassociate

And cut the binds that tie

Abstractualize further

To the ends of facts and foe

Will it out of meaning

As silence speaks the truth

I want to hear your scream

I want to see you stand

Atop the pantheon of fiction

And your failure

Grasping for a hiding place

Among indifferent stones

A brief reflection

It sets the soul apart

No selection

It tears our world apart

These walls are protecting us

Burn them to the ground

This haven of refuge

Burn it to the ground

So smudge the lens a little

Muffle the voice

Phase out of sound a while

And let it go

Citizens of choice

In a twilight world of your design

Left to our devices

We stumble on

I want to hear your scream

I want to hear your scream

Burn it to the ground

No firewall will save you

Burn it to the ground

Take me to the keep

And bare the darkest void

Thousand fold the agony

Of silenced screams alone

Tune right out of static

Exorcise the dark

How else can we move on

I want to hear your scream

I want to see you die!
