Hubris And Blue Devils Paroles

Antagonist to timely men
Was I not my own worst enemy
With ambitions of a worthy opponent?

No time for disillusions
I had lost to them before

This time I wanted more
I wanted more

Perfumed discourse
Hollow convictions
Moderation and humility
Coalitions
Cloak and dagger
The ambiguous nature of loyalty
In ennui I turned my head
To confide in the dead

Hah, these contemporaries No time for disillusions
I had lost to them before
Hesitation and confusion
I left it all behind in empty bottles on the floor

A spiral of convulsion
Where anger fed the shame
Resentments turning back unto myself
Constructing self-fulfilling prophesies again

No time for disillusions
I had lost to them before
Hesitation and confusion
I left it all behind in empty bottles on the floor

I wanted more

This game of virtue and violence
My willingness to sustain
The suffering and exaltation
The trials of pleasure and pain

I wanted more

Hah, me, the adversary
Antagonist to timely men
Was I not my own worst enemy
With ambitions of a worthy opponent?

I lost to them before
I would abstain no more
