The instruments, the tools, you choose them well.
You pick the best for the job you need to sell.
This dialog, this construct, you create.
Bring out the tears you falsely orchestrate.
Manipulate things that make you frown.
You take the world, you turn it upside down.
With false pretense you tell me what you know.
Push me to like the things you want me to.
Something makes no sense to me,
pushing me away.
You have had my sympathy,
each and every day.
You orchestrate the tears you shed,
In hopes that I will stay.
I'll not fall for this again,
Your symphony of sorrow.
You'll sing for me, you'll sing for me, you'll sing for me tomorrow.
Your symphony, your symphony, your symphony of sorrow.
Believing lies like the ones you claim are true.
You strategize each moment I'm with you.
This is your trade not pomp and circumstance.
The bed you've laid leaves nothing for romance.
You castrate the meaning of the truth.
Then offer bribes to distract the chosen few.
You correlate and place your ducks in rows.
You formulate the plans to make it so.
Something makes no sense to me,
pushing me away.
You have had my sympathy,
each and every day.
You orchestrate the tears you shed,
In hopes that I will stay.
I'll not fall for this again,
Your symphony of sorrow.
You'll sing for me, you'll sing for me, you'll sing for me tomorrow.
Your symphony, your symphony, your symphony of sorrow.

NEO INDUSTRIAL GOTHIC ROCK.
Inspired by nightmares and driven by angst for the failings of the modern world.
A multi-genre artist that defies the pigeon hole and brings a unique sense of dread to the table. Gobble it up and enjoy as nothing else will taste the same....more
