Affectations from Romanticism by The Ludvico Treatment
"I'm still of the same mind. For many years I've been ashamed, mortally ashamed, of having been, even with the best intentions, even at many removes, a murderer in my turn. As time went on I merely learned that even those who were better than the rest could not keep themselves nowadays from killing or letting others kill, because such is the logic by which they live; and that we can't stir a finger in this world without the risk of bringing death to somebody. Yes, I've been ashamed ever since; I have realized that we all have plague, and I have lost my peace."
-Albert Camus, The Plague

Lyrics
Our crumbling statues
With tattered flags and emblems
Are better off out there
Out in the silent
And masticated landscapes
Along our croix de guerre
Our distant trenches
Disguise the lack of sadness
Pity falsified
The death of closeness
Kills its twin compassion
Empathy beside
Are you dead to us now?
How we’ve let you down
Lifeless pastures and
Reprobate intention
Of infinite refrain
Proud demonstrations will
Never cull redemption
Sanguine thoughts remain
