Sickening Songtext
von Meshuggah

No one knows the soul of tears
And why can′t we see human indignity
Who will laugh at the growing suffering?
The bleeding, rapidly breeding, increasing

The clock is ticking on before us, constantly running
Hypnotized, energized by naivety
Take a pick at random, choose our future to be
Crawling in the mess of stupidity

We won't hear when we′re dead and gone
We trust in lies or a fake paradise
Are we blinded 'til the bitter end
Decided or maybe very misguided?

Travelling through endless times inside of nothingness
Reaching for a new belief in vain, insane
Our molded lives an ever catatonic flow
We're rejected ever more by lucidity


Why strange? Why?
Why change? Why not suicide?
No strange, no
No change, no
Not suicide

With ears that are shut to the inner voice
We′re giving in to the shattering

Tell me, how can we take it
Tell me, why are we here

Hanging in the balance
Of deceit and blasphemy
Paralyzed in sightless drains
Ignorant and still no panic

(No!) Is there no way to be free?
No! No!
No, why me, not us?
Why not?

Blind, strange, blind
Blind fate, blind suicide
Damn faith, damn
Damn lies
Why?
