KONG - LYING ON A BARREN BED OF ROSES (ft. Cody Canning)

“LYING ON A BARREN BED OF ROSES” out May 22nd. Instagram: Facebook: Bandcamp: Lyrics: Cut the neck Three heads grow back Such is life, unrelenting Oppressive on the backs Of those who choose to live with eyes in the sky Meticulous dissection of self image is a partial catharsis Not enough to cauterize the wound Forever confined to the wall of noise All attempts to be heard are drowned out In dissonance Painting portraits of pain and purpose Losing composure Cracking on the surface Blistering thoughts derived from fear Always consuming me Always here Lying on a barren bed of roses The ground beneath demands flesh Nothing’s sufficient enough Sacrificing self in hope that something will flourish Before the point of death Lying on a barren bed of roses Growing complacent Dying inside from the rot Such is life, unrelenting A droning shrill forever suppressing Punished by the hands of God The days become too long Corrosive waves erode and grind, until I’m gone Every single good thing in life will fade, weep, and bend Finally, take me away to a bastard’s end.
