Lyrics to The Bones That Grew From Pain [Full Album 2022] by Nicolas Cage Fighter

Tracklist: 01. Grey Eye For the first and last time, I'm calling you out No patience for the ignorant No mercy for the belligerence No excuses for the indifferent No forgiveness for a world gone blind Mankind has detached itself from humanity Voiceless and vacant, lifeless gaze peering through grey eyes Goddamn At least I have the strength to admit that I am only human Recognition of dependence is the first step to redemption Hold yourself responsible, you can only shift the blame for so long Vacant mind stare into the abyss, naively following nothing Blindsided by the ignorance Condemned to live in anguish Grey eyes You dug your grave now go and fucking lay in it Where's the accountability? You cannot hide from agony Grey eyes You dug your grave, now go and fucking lay in it Focus on the influence Your temperament Call forth the muse of ailment Eternally, marching onward toward nil Ever the same unchanged, the modern-day leper Disengage yourself from the truth Haemorrhage misery Bleed yourself dry No patience for the ignorant No mercy for the belligerence No excuses for the indifferent No forgiveness for a world gone blind Mankind has detached itself from humanity Voiceless and vacant, lifeless gaze peering through grey eyes 02. Shrine Of Wire I hope you pray for clarity Dead in the dirt Head hung in shame An impossible standard You'll never attain Saturate your frail ego Fall to your knees Bow to the shrine of wire So it falls apart Lacerated by the imitation of your pain Idolising others draped in sexuality Vapid actions denigrate the common misery Do you expect me to give you a break? Tarnished modesty, foreign concept, long forgotten Childlike innocence has been corrupted into nihilism Romanticising mental illness has become a fashion statement Adorning burdens on your sleeves Fall to your knees I hope you pray for clarity Dead in the dirt Head hung in shame An impossible standard you'll never attain Saturate your frail ego Fall to your knees Bow to the shrine of wire Romanticising mental illness has become a fashion statement Adorning burdens on your sleeves Fall to your knees Experience turmoil The price of your consumption Distorting confidence Undermining your self worth You built this monument Bow to the shrine of wire 03. Coughing Nails Breathe in the pain When your fellow man reaches out to you searching for an outlet, Will you shy away, forcing them to stand alone? Or will you raise your hand, take them by the shoulder, Hold them close to you offering reassurance? I've seen so many friends suffocate under the weight of heartache. Choking through tears I hear, nails that bound their coffins What happened to compassion? Does consolation scare you so deeply? There's no merit to an empty promise, Stand strong for those in need, we're in this together Breath in the pain Choking through the tears It's always baffled me how sincerity is so hard to find When you muster strength to open up, condolences are superfluous So cherish dearly those who are the lifelines, Ensure you preserve that unbreakable bond I've seen so many friends suffocate under the weight of heartache. What happened to compassion? Does consolation scare you so deeply? Choking through tears, do not shy away Burst forth the pain, welcome that sweet release Breath in the pain Coughing Nails 04. Static Abyss Feast upon the soil, drown in the static abyss The house of flame has spread No second guess, as per contingency A destructive occupation Tearing asunder the very land we walk upon Bathing in filth, drilling through the mantle, herding to extinction Our errorsome ways are smothering the final breaths of new life Tell me what is to come of the world you plan to leave behind? It pains me to say, but I can't change the fact that We are the parasites With every step I will remind myself For those I love I will sacrifice Against the odds that seem insurmountable, The effort of the individual is crucial to our success Standing alone we hardly have a chance to stop Malpractice tearing the Earth apart, but united There is no feat that cannot be accomplished Our errorsome ways are smothering the final breaths of new life Tell me what is to come of the world you plan to leave behind? Does your desire for greed and consumption Outweigh the necessity to nurture our only home? It pains me to say, but I can't change the fact that We are the parasites With every step I must remind myself For those I love I will sacrifice But that is not enough Suffocate and perish from within the sickened sediment This is how the corrupted Earth will saved. Tarnished by the grasp of industrialisation What will you leave for the children? Will you watch as they drink impurity Strangled by the ash of your incessant gluttony? Feast upon the soil, drown in the static abyss 05. The Bones That Grew From Pain The burden of pain is one that we all know So please won't you say it again, that we are not alone? This cold world, has no mercy for the weak So don't you dare hold your tongue when you speak How many times must I scream these words aloud And tell myself that everything will be okay? I have dedicated my whole life to my craft Poured my heart and soul into my only skillset I have amassed countless accomplishments And the recognition of my contemporaries So why the fuck do I still feel so goddamn miserable? Through strength unknown I push myself So that I may know what it is like to feel at peace But the burden of who I am inside Never ceases to overshadow my efforts. It is contorting me, my faith is no longer These are the bones that grew from pain Hush child, don't let the fear take hold Know that you can speak to me I will welcome you with open arms Oh how I only hope that one day you can understand There is truth in pain and reason lies in redemption This is an unforgiving world that offers no solace In the face grief you only need to know one thing Emotion is a vice and you have got the means to choose Between surrendering to the darkness that resides inside And holding your head high and never looking back on this You don't have to be afraid of what lies ahead If there is only one truth in this life It is that we hold the answers within us. So will you take it upon yourself to keep moving forward? Or will you cower in defeat waiting for death? Hush child, don't let the fear take hold Know that you can speak to me, and I will welcome you with open arms Don't let this ever get the best of you You and I both know that you can overcome this I only wish that I could say the same for myself How many times must I scream these words aloud And tell myself that everything will be okay? I have dedicated my whole life to my craft Poured my heart and soul into my only skillset I have amassed countless accomplishments And the recognition of my contemporaries So why the fuck do I still feel so goddamn miserable? Through strength unknown I push myself So that I may know what it is like to feel at peace But the burden of who I am inside Never ceases to overshadow my efforts It is contorting me, my faith is no longer These are the bones that grew from pain 06. Weeping Sores Addiction's a son of a bitch Face the daylight I've said it a thousand times Isn't it obvious? Something has got to change The discontent that manifests represents The perfect fuel to reignite the passions That serve only to preserve you Yet still you extinguish the pilot light The less you do in life the more you tire of it Yet narcotic escapades prove only to disconnect Isn't it ironic? Consumption instigates pain Those vacuous formed habits prove only to disconnect Addiction's a son of a bitch, and you are the surrogate Gorge on the agony Rend apart those weeping sores Time's up you coward Years of shifting blame and running blind catch up to you. You can't escape the disdain Debilitated by past actions, tainted Crushed by the weight of your vice Intoxicated with pain Time's up, you coward The less you do in life the more you tire of it Yet narcotic escapades prove only to disconnect Addiction's a son of a bitch, and you are the surrogate Descendant of failure Offspring of misery Gorge on the agony Rend apart those weeping sores Rend apart those weeping sores Rend apart those weeping sores 07. Compound And Fracture This is a broken system One that's engineered keep you in your fucking place Go make the conscious choice again Piss away your life, never achieve anything Who is there to blame for this? Is the onus on yourself to forge a new path? Look me in the eyes again, tell me that none of this your fault Tell me that none of this is your fault This is your fault Has the fourty hour week fucked you over yet? Can you spare another breath or take just one more step? Does the irony of your efforts convince you yet? Are you getting sick of this? Well I just fucking bet Re-evaluate your life, focus on yourself Does the man above you recognise your effort? Or shit all over you, micromanage till your death? Where does your passion lie? What can you call your own? What do you do for yourself? Exercise futility, exponentiate the multiplying misery Compound the apathy, fracture the outlook This is your fault Tell me that none of this is your fault This is a broken system One that's engineered keep you in your fucking place Look me in the eyes again, tell me that none of this your fault Where does your passion lie? What can you call your own? What do you do for yourself? Exercise futility, exponentiate the multiplying misery Compound the apathy, fracture the outlook 08. Foundation The so called pillars of your community Have been lying directly to your face They weave a thick web of bullshit Designed to keep your free thought in check Tell me what you see in propagating lies To your fellow man who know no better anyway It's pathetic, conjecture is trifle Spinning the wheels of misinformation I can see the blank stare in your eyes I'm conflicted, should I feel sorry for you? Has the fear of your fellow man corrupted you? You deviate the dialogue, facilitate corruption We will be the ones to break the foundation Of the slander and the propaganda You call this politics? This a fucking joke So don't be persuaded for a second Into supporting the actions of a house of snakes They have no hold on us We have no second chance Don't let your voice be quashed You see they feed from you Idle minds and absent hearts Make fodder for the cannons If you don't speak up for yourself Well in the blink of an eye The world you love will be torn to shreds and ripped apart By the few who seek to profit off indifference You have a choice to make Herd mentality suffocates humanity Willful ignorance instigates calamity Poisoned minds are influenced so easily Don't allow those sleazy fucks to get away with murder Pollution, manufacturing consent And god only knows what kind of shit goes on behind closed doors Strip the power from their hands We will be the ones to break the foundation Of the slander and the propaganda You call this politics? This a fucking joke They have no hold on us You have a choice to make Herd mentality suffocates humanity Willful ignorance instigates calamity Poisoned minds are influenced so easily Manipulating laws to extort the common man Career politicians are all blood sucking parasites Persuaded by the lobbyists and bribed by the corporations They constantly exploit modern media To continue the cycle of misdirection The so called pillars of your community Don't stand a fucking chance against us 09. Heretic's Vow Since the dawn of time, man has walked with faith Embellished with righteousness Yet callous in their endeavours Perverting the progress of society, Enforcing dogmatic conventions on the weak willed Esteemed alumni of the designated faith Excommunicate the nonbelievers Claiming to offer forgiveness and eternal life Do not oblivious to the deception of organised religion Generations of persecution You say holy in the highest? I say go and fuck yourself Experimental extinction, the time has begun Blinding spark from the Son Speak in tongues at night Make a crown fit every head, following the shadow of death Bring on the fever, for which there is no cure Gospel incarnate, I denounce your narcissistic implications Erroneous clergies divide the people So too shall we divide their vile establishments As was prophecised, mark their doors with blood Experimental extinction, the time has begun Blinding spark from the Son Speak in tongues at night Make a crown fit every head, following the shadow of death Bring on the fever, for which there is no cure Gospel incarnate, I denounce your narcissistic implications Erroneous clergies divide the people So too shall we divide their vile establishments As was prophecised Mark their doors with the blood of the firstborn May the flesh of the Son contaminate Asphyxiate and render devoid Sever the cruel hand that guides the blind Set alight the sky from which you claim he resides No god of mine Since the dawn of time, man has walked with faith. Embellished with righteousness, Yet callous in their endeavours Perverting the progress of society Enforcing dogmatic conventions on the weak willed Esteemed alumni of the designated faith Desecrate the so called holy land they stand on Denounce actions of disciples Eradicate the paedophilic monarchy Heretical Vows of Institutional Irreverence Secular cleansing has begun Dismantle faith 10. A Great Ruinous Deed When the harsh insignificance of man Is put into perspective Compared against the expanse of time Does the futility of your actions speak truth? Our existence is nothing more Than an iota of everything that is to be conceived For once bones turn to dust And the earth wilts away, all that will be left behind Are the echoes of the souls that were bound in space So label me a pessimist, perhaps But there is comfort here And find serenity in recognising this one ultimate truth And so we face the great ruinous deed of mankind Eternal conflict, the penance we must endure I have gazed afar and witnessed the very fabric Of the universe unravel like twine And in this chasm of emptiness, we are but a ray of light Our only opportunity, let it not be wasted For once bones turn dust And the earth wilts away, all that will be left behind Are the echoes of the souls that were bound in space If we cannot live with compassion for one another The greatest gift that we are granted will be spent in vain I have gazed afar and witnessed the very fabric Of the universe unravel like twine And in this chasm of emptiness, we are but a ray of light Our only opportunity, let it not be wasted I have communed with the higher power Their wisdom bestowed unto me Yet this feeble vessel, improper One day I will cross this land Spreading the message which I've received Until that time however, I yearn for peace And so on this bed of rock I lay Grasping at the memory of bliss Knowing the ultimatum that awaits us all And the eternal cycle that we occupy Hold your head up high, walk with me into the void
