Absent in the things I've done

For the real

Revelations come to people so slow

Frightening

Won't stop now before they're done

Peel their skin

Eaten underneath

Rotten

Rotten

Drowning in understanding

Swallowed poison keeps them well

But watching the others struggle through

Makes me grin

Should I tell the mindless stumbling through

That I have found it?

Watching all the things they've done

This is real

When revolution comes from misguided hands

Frightening

And in all the idiots I see

Thoughtless men casting doubts on me

Enlightening

Downing in understanding

Swallowed poison keeps them well

But watching the others struggle through

Makes me grin

Should I tell the mindless stumbling through

That I have found it?

They'll turn the vice once

And slowly break your hand

Will it come back to you now

Just like it never left?

(Chorus in forefront, lyrics below as backup)

Peel away their faith, their fears, have led them towards the worse one

See the way their minds have glazed they're looking for the worst one

But I have found it
