About Cast Down

"Cast Down" is about a fallen Angel who resorts to drugs. ...or, if you don't read TOO much into it, it's about drug addiction. .

Cast Down Lyrics

[00:38.61] Despair, emptiness, see the hatred wasted on yourself
[00:45.99] Face down, taste the dust, it's getting harder everyday
[00:49.61] Just to find a reason not to end it all yourself
[00:53.53] Suicide on the street, everywhere around you watch it breed
[00:56.87] It begins to bury you in self induced rejection
[01:04.15] So now you're wasted, broken down, I see through your ignorance
[01:09.12] Penetrate the surface of your insecure inside
[01:13.03] Next fix, shoot it up, looking for the place where God speaks
[01:16.88] Every time you find Him, He just stabs you in the back again
[01:24.19] No one hears you
[01:27.40] You're society's infection
[01:30.43] I won't judge you
[01:33.56] When the blood steals life from you
[01:36.86] Cast down and thrown away, you are the living dead
[01:42.29] The needle numbs the pain of all your suffering
[01:48.62] This is where the world of money changes nothing
[02:03.08] Just a statistic in the shadows of the real world
[02:05.38] The system's failing you just the way it failed me
[02:07.76] Hell is home on the concrete where the city bleeds
[02:10.33] America, home of the free, land of fucking disenchantment
[02:17.03] Despair, emptiness, isolation rapes you everyday
[02:23.74] Face down, taste the dust, digging deeper in your grave
[02:27.77] Haven't found a reason, haven't found a thing to fucking live for
[02:31.65] Godless, He doesn't care how you choose to destroy yourself
[02:35.09] In a world that feeds on hate, you're left here just to waste away
[02:40.08] In your cardboard prison, asphalt wasteland
[02:44.33] No one hears you
[02:47.66] You're society's infection
[02:50.90] I won't judge you
[02:53.97] When the blood steals life from you
[02:57.38] No one sees you
[03:00.51] You're society's infection
[03:03.57] I won't judge you
[03:06.60] When the blood steals life from you
[03:10.45] Cast down and thrown away, you are the living dead
[03:15.54] The needle numbs the pain of all your suffering
[03:21.65] This is where the world of money changes nothing
[03:24.07]
