Tremors from Inertia by Gladiolus

Destined to bleed
Until we're hollow
We fight not to let our hearts descend
I must try to make it work
Swallowed by the sin
Shaping my forever
I put it all at stake

We try to build it up
To make it strong enough
To weather every storm
But can pressure push us forward

Wavering devotion as it all starts to slip
I've tried my best to make the pieces fit
A harsh reality peels away the shell
As I lose my grip to surging terror
The serpent waits for me down the well

Time won't wait for me

And it's only hope that keeps us
Holding our head up above the haze
Belying all my faith
Grasping broken pieces
Just to turn them outside in
Inertia will herald liberation

Never to lead always to follow
Beyond the beginning lies the end
An unbalanced universe
Swallowed within
Madness my revealer
Collapsing into shape

Why's it not enough
It's never been enough
I've tried this plan before
But the fault lies at its core

Wavering devotion as it all starts to slip
I've tried my best to make the pieces fit
A harsh reality peels away the shell
As the twisted form awaits the final error
It's waiting ravenous down the well

A singularity
I swallow light
Crushed by the gravity
Give up the fight
I fold under the weight of it

It's too far

Madness revealed
Nestled in the crease
Thrown back upon the self
Unyielding disarray
Grasping at infinite empty
Grey matter splayed across the galaxy

Flying a spaceship into the stars
That's where they tell me the winners are
Don't even think twice it'll be fun
And you'll be loved by everyone

Strapping the baby into the seat
Make sure you tie down his little feet
Poor little baby a sack of meat
He doesn't know he's in for a treat

Insight inside endless tendrils of thought
Each and every neuron star borne
The axiom stretched to breaking point
Enlivened by insanity

Wavering devotion as it all starts to slip
I've tried my best to make the pieces fit
I'm jarred by reality as it shatters every cell
Purged of all that made us pure
It was all in our hands
