The Agonist - Panophobia

Keep out the intruders! Put the drawbridge up!
The enemy ransacked what we had just rebuilt!
Now the garden lies in serene symmetry
And severe color theory.

Roots slowly poisoning
Through strategic seeds planted inside. We're much

safer self-preserved.
Let the Dead Sea rise.
No, the watch dogs aren't robots.
They can't defend against their lures.
Doors that weld shut behind you and books that fly

like birds.

Crushed by backpacks filled with ammo, luggage

carts distracted the defense.
And the troops sneak in undetected, charades

begin, start the pretense.
Obsessive thought in royal chambers invites Trojan

warriors in.
Little exceptions seem so harmless, little

victories, little wins.

And now why has the plan failed? We sit here

aimless once again.
With all units deployed fully, how is it we let

him in?
All the corporals agreed: zero-tolerance enforced.
But as cold as doorknobs were I somehow still

opened the doors.

Each battle lost is a mile gained on the terminal

timeline.
We all fear the last few inches but they're so far

out, we're blind.
Each battle lost...

A dysfunctional team, we are, no one following the

rules.
Yes I'll do my best to protect you but your

disobedience intrudes.
Skeletons escape the flesh like ants through

tightly clenched fists.
This time impeach the tyrant!

What a contradictory statement - suicidal

self-preservationist.
Although logic understands, prison chambers still

exist.
Chambers East and West conspiring, neighbors North

and South unite.
With the four working against me I'm powerless and

losing sight!

Each battle lost is a mile gained on the terminal

timeline.
We all fear the last few inches but they're so far

out, we're blind.


This is a forced entry. This is algometry.
This is panophobic.
Immunity gets sick.
This is a forced entry. This is algometry.
This is panophobic.
Taken down, brick by brick.
This is a forced entry. This is algometry.
This is panophobic.
This is the last conflict.

Each battle lost...

Each battle lost...
