Into the Ashes - Tigercub

Born

Into the ashes of a broken world

Full of mannequins and plastics forks

Taught to hate and to fear my sisters

Tempting fate, I will walk the distance

In this narrative, I have no voice

I fought a thousand wars with static noise

Lose my faith, just to ease this friction

In disgrace, I will burn alive for you

Love

Like an enemy, I keep it close

'cause I know everything must run its course

Does it take death to give this life a purpose?

To make amends I keep searching, but it’s

Useless

Good intentions got the best of us

It’s useless

And your metaphors will turn us into

Fools because

You twist my words until I’m sick of turning

Useless

So uncertain, yet so full of purpose

Like silhouettes, we are at best an outline

Our shallow graves are marked along a layline

No regrets, just an endless vacuum

With every breath, I am certain that it’s

Useless

Good intentions got the best of us

It’s useless

And your metaphors will turn us into

Fools because

You twist my words until I’m sick of turning

Useless

So uncertain, yet so full of purpose

For a moment I was lost alone

Out of focus and depressed, alone

Love like this cannot exist without you

It makes us sick, but it’s tainted and so useless

Useless

Good intentions got the best of us

It’s useless

And your metaphors will turn us into

Fools because

You twist my words until I’m sick of turning

Useless

So uncertain, yet so full of purpose
