Cataclysm

from East EP by Dao Strom

/

lyrics

I don’t know if I can fake it anymore
I’ve lied long enough for you
& if you think you know me just because
you’ve read the words I wrote
well, here’s another song for you

Is every word is a cataclysm
& does it hurt to say what fills your heart with lonely rhythm
in the aftermath of Rebirth ?

I wanted to be your vessel
I wanted to fill your need
but the past is an unwieldy burden
& I fell out of line again

‘cuz every word was a cataclysm
& does it hurt to say what fills your heart with lonely rhythm
in the aftermath of Decay ?

If I dress it up in ribbons
if I groom and make it glisten
will that make it easier for you?
will you finally stop & listen?

‘cuz every word is a cataclysm
& how it hurts to say what fills your heart with lonely rhythm
in the aftermath of the Shame
