The Raccoonist - Human Descent Lyrics

Ooooh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooh-ooooh
In the mirror's reflection, we hide our sins
Underneath the civility, the wild begins
Oh, when the world falls apart, masks come undone
In the heart of darkness, see what we've become
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Darkness rising, no place left to hide
Instincts screaming, tearing us inside
Human descent, we're losing control
Stripped of conscience, baring our soul
Instincts reign, shadows in command
In the end, we're damned by our hand
Falling fast
Shadows cast
Future past
Nothing lasts
Masks break
Hearts ache
Real or fake
High stakes
Voices loud
Unbowed
Through the crowd
Feeling proud
In this descent, we lament
Time spent
Innocence bent
F*ck the lies
Alibis
Society's disguise
In the dark, we compromise
See through shattered eyes
Lust and greed
Primal need
Watch the world bleed
In this twisted creed
We plant the seed
Feeding on our deeds
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Human descent, we're losing control
Stripped of conscience, baring our soul
Instincts reign, shadows in command
In the end, we're damned by our hand
Ooooh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh
Ooooh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh-oh-oh-oh-ooooh
Broken dreams, shattered seams, nothing's as it seems
In this hell, we fell, under dark regimes
Haunted cries, in disguise, truth behind the lies
In our fall, we crawl, 'til the final demise
Oh, human descent
Human descent
Human descent
Human descent, we're losing control
Stripped of conscience, baring our soul
Human descent, we're losing control
Stripped of conscience, baring our soul
Instincts reign, shadows in command
In the end, we're damned by our hand
Oh-oh-ooooh-ooh-ooooh-ooh-ooooh
Oh-oh-ooooh-ooh-ooooh-ooh-ooooh
Beneath the surface, our demons lie
In the descent of humanity, we question why
In this dark journey, we face our end
Human descent, will we ever transcend?
Will we?
Human descent
Human descent
