Perpetual Black Second (Tokyo) Lyrics

Trapped in a ceaseless fever of spite
An unending fit of resentment and anger
Caught in a moment of unforgiveness
In the snapshot of a hate filled secondThe speechless flickering of uncomprehending eyes
Dilated in disbelief
Your vacant gaze distorted
Twisted in its accusing glareTeeth glimmering in emotional rage
Spit of hate suspended mid-air
Bodies strained in fury
Devoured by jaws of despairOne single image frame I wish to forget
Now replayed in succession of millions
The one second I will always regret
My hell found in its reiterationHeld within the visualization
The continuous rerun of my own violence
A fraction of time perpetuated
By my regretful soul animatedPlease forgive the evil in me
The darkness within
Ferocious, inherent demon

Adrenaline gland residentThreatened subconscious snake
Repressed into striking coil
Surfacing that black second
Ascending with the boil
