You burn the cage The weather doesn't change It was always this cold You just had walls before Catastrophic clarity still running on the original wiring Consequence of consciousness nobody asked for Nobody's admiring Cut the cord expecting open sky found open sky means nothing covers you Found the other side of doctrine has the same damn ceiling just a Better view Fluent in the exit, illiterate in what the exit actually opens Burned the explanation built the silence and the silence came Out broken Just the specific weight of something still on fire still amazed it's blazing And the void looked back And it didn't have a lesson It was just Tuesday And Tuesday Doesn't care!! You want the wreckage to mean something You want the scar to hold a door You want the thing you burned your life down for To leave you something more But the ceiling doesn't know your name The morning owes you nothing And the hunger that you freed!!! Was always yours!!! And it is not done!!! So here we are Mouth full of ash and still alive!!! Still alive No scripture left to blame it on No heaven left to justify!!! Justify The cage is gone The animal remains!!! Still remains The altar burned The hunger stayed!!! Hunger stayed Has no name Stripped it To the signal stripped The signal to the animal beneath it The animal was hungry since before they named it sinned and tried to leash it Not the saint they suffocated Something they kept building walls around That kept eating through the cedar Choosing it each morning is a violence And it doesn't make you stable I'm not what survived it I'm what kept moving when the body wouldn't! So here we are Mouth full of ash and still alive!!! Still alive No scripture left to blame it on No heaven left to justify!!! Justify The cage is gone The animal remains!!! Still remains The altar burned The hunger stayed!!! Hunger stayed Has no name Has no name The void didn't liberate me It just stopped lying about the furniture Just the ceiling Just the hunger Just this inconvenient fact of continuing That nobody applauds Still here Not because it's worth it Because stopping requires a reason And reasons are a god I don't keep So here we are Mouth full of ash and still alive!!! Still alive No scripture left to blame it on No heaven left to justify!!! Justify The cage is gone The animal remains!!! Still remains The altar burned The hunger stayed!!! Hunger stayed Has no name Still here Not proud of it Just here Try and stop it
