The Acacia Strain
Album • 2023
A warning to the world A warning to the world We all lived here, we all died here We all lived here then it was over The ground and animals burned The world continued to turn This earth was green and blue No longer me, no longer you You can't kill the sun Only extinguish the fire The sun? Well, the sun will kill itself The worst part is we all saw it coming We are the Hell we constructed for ourselves This world has turned its back to us We could have all been saved The earth itself looks down on us This gaping hole will be our grave My love will be felt Praying for heaven but begging for hell The cut still stings We ruined everything Imagine the overgrowth as your body begins to decompose The mind lives on, but the body dies Where do I go when I die? Where do I go when I die? Where do I go when I die? Will you miss me when I’m gone? [Vincent Bennett] We cannot escape All of your dreams have come true; out of love All of your dreams have come true We have failed you The mouth of the world will swallow us whole We all die slow We all die slow We all die Silence is the only sound The fire burns it to the ground Picking muscle from bone We were here but no one will ever know Failure will follow you wherever you may go Failure will follow you wherever you may go Into the light, into the grave Failure will follow you wherever you may go Failure will follow Failure will follow Failure will follow Failure will follow

Dying amongst the weeds This bag of bones This curse belongs to me This bag of bones Blood in the flowerbed Eternal cold The stench of the dead Eternal cold Living among the worms We die alone This world no longer turns We die alone The blood flows from the wound And we all rot What did I mean to you And we all rot eventually Rest well aside the graves Rest well aside the graves Spikes and spires erupt from the ground Maggots crawl on the acrid mound The mouth of the world will open and swallow us No teeth, no tongue; just nothingness A cavernous hole with colorless spray The screaming will stop eventually The soil and grass are tainted with rust My rotten bloodlust Insects crawl over eyes and teeth Rotten dirt and rotten leaves Bodies writhe under the soil Not long for this mortal coil Drying blood covers logs like moss We met our fate at any cost Rotting meat for rotting dogs The planet's problems have been solved Rest well aside the graves Fed to the worms Harvest the blood from the crypts Cherish the first sip Hunted 'neath a poison moon You live to serve the formless one I can't explain the darkness of the grave I can't explain our mistakes I can't explain the darkness of the grave I can't explain, explain our mistakes I can't explain the darkness of the grave I can't explain, we cannot be saved The flesh remembers the wrath of nature We till the soil while the corpses spoil Blinded by the darkness Strangled by the vines You'll find no peace in sunlight The roots eclipse its shine Dying amongst the weeds Grind the dirt into your knees Dying amongst the weeds No blood left for me to bleed Dying amongst the weeds This world will do as they please Dying amongst the weeds Feel the flames burning the leaves Dying amongst the weeds Dying amongst the weeds Dying amongst the weeds

Take a deep breath Hold it in Never let it out again Nothing to give No will to live Atone for your fucking sins Both feet are sinking into the grave Both feet are sinking into the grave Both feet are sinking into the grave Grip the grass and believe you are safe I can make the hurting stop I can make the hurting stop I can make the hurting stop I can make the hurting stop You are the curse that should not be I will decimate your energy A mortal wound inflicts mortal form I'll make you wish you were never born A tooth buried in the dirt For everyone you've ever hurt Your breath left an awful taste in my mouth It's all been done we said goodbye I promised that I wouldn't cry As I shed my final tear I hate to admit that I wish you were here I was never myself (I was never myself) Heart in my throat, I can't cry for help I'll miss you all, you won't see tomorrow To everyone I've ever hurt, I'm fucking sorry A special place in hell You did this to yourself A special place in hell You did this to yourself Scratch the lines into my skin My first mistake was letting you in Infected like an open sore You cannot hurt me anymore The sadness will last forever Six feet wasn't deep enough The dirt can't cover my disgust Every part of you is dead to me I still struggle with your memory Like the blood drained from an artery Echoing through my mind This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever This sadness will last forever
