Periphery – The Bad Thing

Sometimes there’s a crack in the world
That I can peer through to see it for what it really is
There’s an ugly face staring back, demons are everywhere
They draw the hatred from inside of me
There were times at the top of the earth
That I wish I could throw everyone and everything
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites
I’m bathing in the thought of it

The severed dreams of all the weak
Quenching thirst inside of me
And the scream, it holds the key
Unlocking this for all to see

Fly past the trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves
Transcend these earthly boundaries
Fly past the trees
Ascend to holy air and breathe
Far from the leaves
Transcend their fucking boundaries

And isn’t this desire that you’re looking for?
Or is insanity just knocking on your door?
Yeah, give me just a piece and surely you will find
Everything is better on the other side
But can you look within to find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become your whore
It’s tearing a hole inside
You’re buried alive

Sometimes there’s a hole in the earth
That I can step through to get away from the twisting of tongues
It looks a lot like a grave when I’m staring up
Feeling the soil creeping over me
There were times at the top of the earth
That I wish I could throw everyone and everything
Watch the mountains snap the necks of the hypocrites
I’m bathing in the thought of it

I’d like a reason just to help them bleed
Give me a reason, come on, give it to me

Give me a reason, fucking give me a reason
Give me a reason, come on, give it to me

Ascend to holy air and breathe
(Far from the leaves)
Transcend the earthly boundaries

And isn’t this desire that you’re looking for?
Or is insanity just knocking at your door?
Yeah, give me just a piece and surely you will find
Everything is better on the other side
But can you look within to find what is in store?
This life is but a scream that has become your whore
It’s tearing a hole inside
You’re buried alive, yeah
