Ivory Tower Lyrics - Meshuggah

Why mourn this travesty, hide this slow degradation 

Claw and compete mindlessly 

All things undone too late 

Craving our waking sleep 

Is blinding us to this ivory tower 

Serves to complete the truth 

That we cling onto 

So what are these things you hold true 

The defensive wounds of the unknowing eye 

Weeping thousands of wretched tears 

To lubricate the end with our fear 

The concussion from the crack of the whip 

Nullifies, sensations die 

Always numbing, always preaching 

Never resting, never sleeping 

The construction is our penance here 

Tumorous growth chiseled in white 

When the darkness comes to slay the day 

Enters horrors that you'll be wishing away
