Annihilation

I've been swimming in it
A memory
Though I must admit
It feels more like a bad dream
One of the ones where
I'm losing all of my teeth
The ground underneath my feet
The sound when I scream

If all I have and all I know
Are built upon a foundation
That starts to crack, where can I go?
Succumb to my creation
Welcome annihilation

Annihilation
Such is salvation
Annihilation
I know my path is beyond the ashes

No more being bound by earthly attachments
When the thunder sounds and the lightning flashes
I'll know God's around playing with her matches
Ashes, ashes, give them to me now

My lungs are hot from the water that I've let in
The ocean's not a place for perpetual treading
Which part of the abyss should I pretend to head in?
Burn it all instead then
Start again

If all I have and all I know
Are built upon a foundation
That starts to crack, where can I go?
Succumb to my creation
Welcome annihilation

Annihilation
Such is salvation
Annihilation
I know my path is beyond the ashes
