Grave Expectations by Abhoria Lyrics
Seemingly endlessly, a never ending search for a reason
To continue this putrid existence
Drowning in the overwhelming struggle to be found
You're just another stain on the filth-covered ground
An offer received from an unknown source
To replace a life of squalor with the promise of deliverance of course
An imposing dwelling, its opulence overwhelming
Extravagance unlike you’vе ever dreamt
A final momеnt of doubt and reluctance
Wrested by salvation and enchantment
These walls will protect you from your tortured past
If only you knew this moment could not last
Your every indulgence will be fulfilled in spades
No want will be ungranted, no bill will be unpaid
But still it claws, a feeling that it all can't belong
It is a nightmare wrapped inside a dream hidden in a song
No time to hide or dwell within your state of terror
Your focus is drawn to outer pleasures
So many hungers have already fed
Euphoria clouds any thoughts within your head
Watching silently from shadows
This game of pray
It's the name you call me
Day by day, now stalling gains you nothing
Stalling gains you nothing
Stalling gains you nothing
Though focused on the carnal elections
Clarity slices through, but a moment is barely detected
You wonder why it was you I have chosen
Was there a purpose?
But you’ll never know it
With this awakening you'll only learn part of the truth
No one escapes from here and there's nothing that you can do
An exit attempted, but your fear is given to proof
For there is no way for you to escape this blasphemous truth
Witnessing the prey as it becomes aware
It knows the time has come to strike out
The wait has ended, the hunt begins
The vile feast is finally prepared
The hunter emerges, his hungry grin revealed
The savior has become the snake
You've gone far too long feeding only on confusion
Based in anger and hate, with every escape that they attempted
So think about them, with your life at its end
They all thought they could change
You're no different or better, right down to the letter
You were just as fucked up, and fully deranged
To continue this putrid existence
Drowning in the overwhelming struggle to be found
You're just another stain on the filth-covered ground
An offer received from an unknown source
To replace a life of squalor with the promise of deliverance of course
An imposing dwelling, its opulence overwhelming
Extravagance unlike you’vе ever dreamt
A final momеnt of doubt and reluctance
Wrested by salvation and enchantment
These walls will protect you from your tortured past
If only you knew this moment could not last
Your every indulgence will be fulfilled in spades
No want will be ungranted, no bill will be unpaid
But still it claws, a feeling that it all can't belong
It is a nightmare wrapped inside a dream hidden in a song
No time to hide or dwell within your state of terror
Your focus is drawn to outer pleasures
So many hungers have already fed
Euphoria clouds any thoughts within your head
Watching silently from shadows
This game of pray
It's the name you call me
Day by day, now stalling gains you nothing
Stalling gains you nothing
Stalling gains you nothing
Though focused on the carnal elections
Clarity slices through, but a moment is barely detected
You wonder why it was you I have chosen
