Fade Away
03:11
|
|||
I feel the eyes of death
They gaze upon me every night
The bed where I once slept
Becomes the cell I’m trapped inside
I see what others can’t
Beyond illusion, horrors thrive
Never a helping hand
Through the contusions, I survive
I hear your screams through the walls
Echoes of your misery ring out in the halls
I’ll keep you shackled in pain
Pleading for your freedom, but you’ll never escape
Fade away
There’s no one left beside you to withstand (the fire)
I find no solace in the claims you make to circumvent
An empty promise that you’d never be this way again
Speak my name
Through emptiness, I am your only friend (a liar)
Fulfill a prophecy created under false pretense
Webs of dishonesty spun only for your benefit
And if you thought you were safe, you were mistaken
This is a prison of your own creation
I cry out into the void
A silent confession, but no one believes me
Tied to a life I’ve destroyed
These violent transgressions left no one to grieve me
I hear your screams through the walls
Echoes of your misery ring out in the halls
I’ll keep you shackled in pain
Pleading for your freedom, but you’ll never escape
Fade away
There’s no one left beside you to withstand (the fire)
I find no solace in the claims you make to circumvent
An empty promise that you’d never be this way again
Speak my name
Through emptiness, I am your only friend (a liar)
Fulfill a prophecy created under false pretense
Webs of dishonesty spun only for your benefit
I feel the eyes of death
Taking hold
With all the secrets that I have kept
Taking hold
Manifestation of my regrets

The Abyss
03:39
|
|||
It’s time to show me your worth
Are you with me, or are you against me?
We’re not the salt of the earth
But you’ve been thirsting for something you can’t see
Follow me into the abyss
Embrace who you are inside
And we could have everything
That we ever wanted
So show me your worth
The salt of the earth
Just shut your eyes, I know you’re terrified
Let me take your pain away
And though you’ve tried, you couldn’t say goodbye
We both know that you’ll stay
Right here is where you wanna be
Your greatest desire
Nothing could ever set you free
Keep chasing that fire
Follow me into the abyss
Embrace who you are inside
And we could have everything
That we ever wanted
Come with me, our souls ascending
Now this dream is never-ending
Gracefully, we slip into lovely decay
Young and free, with nothing to stand in our way
Can you feel your spirit mending
In this dream that’s never-ending?
Follow me into the abyss
Embrace who you are inside
And we could have everything
That we ever wanted

Blood Echo
04:14
|
|||
Once given a message
To rise from the wreckage
They say that the author
Is dead in the water
The beasts of our darkest nights
Are coming to life
They’re cutting into our spines
And twisting the knife
Plagues falling from the sky
Pull the wool over my eyes
Slaves to a dying light
Without the courage to fight
A violent reckoning
The silence deafening
Hide from the storm, under the floor
A prisoner of war
Becoming deformed from all of the thorns
Nothing to live for
Never more, your body is worn
A story so forlorn, but no life to mourn
The fabric’s torn
Losing your grip, a sinking ship
As you drown in it
The water within soaks into the skin
Just like every sin you commit
There’s no medicine to cure all your ailments
So open up and give in
Plagues falling from the sky
Pull the wool over my eyes
Slaves to a dying light
Without the courage to fight
Once given a message
To rise from the wreckage
They say that the author
Is dead in the water
No, no hope for us
Sacrificing the human race for your personal gain
Taking away everything that makes us feel alive
We are servants to the hive
Slaving away
Until we decay
Fade into nothingness
Just to be replaced
Plagues falling from the sky
Pull the wool over my eyes
Slaves to a dying light
Without the courage to fucking fight

Suffocate
03:47
|
|||
You can run it back again, but I know how this story ends
If it seems I’m on the mend, I promise you it’s just pretend
And every time I tell myself I’ve had enough
I realize I’m not the man I thought I was
Still worshipping a poison that is killing me
A losing game that I have no intentions of winning
Suffocate, with dreams I will burn
(Cause it’s all I’m worth)
Watch me throw away the lessons I’ve learned
When will I ever learn?
Running from myself has always been the first tactic
Dealing with tragic occurrences internalized
Cutting the ties in the blink of an eye
I’ll try to rationalize everything I fucked up
Even though all the blame is in my name
I’ve got nothing to gain from admitting to myself and everyone else
I made a mistake I can never take back
In a war that I can’t win with such a clever medicine
It’s so easy to forget, so just run it back again
Every time I tell myself, “enough”
I’m lying
But this is what I deserve
Suffocate, with dreams I will burn
(Cause it’s all I’m worth)
Watch me throw away the lessons I’ve learned

Lucid
03:54
|
|||
I tell myself it isn’t real
Open my eyes, but I still feel
Please wake up
This isn’t real
Come to find I’m not asleep
Terrified, I toss and turn in a bed of horrors designed for me
Treading in my most vivid fears, a debt paid to nullify the pain I’ve caused
From the depths of my mind
You can’t hear my cries
Am I still alive?
Trying to find a way out of my head
Something deep inside me won’t let this end
Now the current pulls me deeper in
And I’m sinking through the floor
Faster than the naked eye could recognize
I am consumed
Why am I forced to relive this trauma again and again?
Time to pull the fucking plug and put me to rest
From the depths of my mind
You can’t hear my cries
Am I still alive?
Cold
I’m paralyzed
Let me out of my own mind
I’m trapped inside
Suffocating
Consciousness treading underwater
I cannot reach the surface
There’s no escape
From the intruder
Vestibular motor
Falling for eternity
There’s nothing left of me now
Nothing left of me now
From the depths of my mind
You can’t hear my cries
Am I still alive?
Far from reality
Now my eyes have seen
The truth in a dream
Suffering, save me from this nightmare
Lucid dream, please let me be
Free from this agony

Servant Of Death
03:27
|
|||
I’m awakened with fire burning in my eyes
I’m pulled from the surface, their curses fill up the skies
Memories of my own death running through my head
Resurrected by hatred to torment again
I’m no longer human
Time is now corrupt and mislead
Lies come to fruition
A servant of death
Blood strewn as far as my eyes can see
My body’s moving on its own, reaping malady
Consumed by demonic possession
I’m reduced to a tool of aggression
Now violence is my only intention
To silence life in every direction
Agony
Fallacy cultivates tragedy
Rendering casualties
Now look at what I’ve become
An instrument of doom and destruction
A shell of what I once was
A vessel fueled by dysphoria
Guided by the sounds of human suffering and discontent
Nothing but the taste of blood will quench this desire
Torn out of a shallow grave to feast upon the innocent
Risen from the dead to pay the debts of a liar
Bow to your new ruler
Down to the regime of the dead
Now begin transfusion
I am born again
Flesh searing
Scorch the earth
Sacrificed by the bloodline for my rebirth
Drain the light from the sky
Praying for salvation that will never come
Sinking into my dysphoria
Consumed by demonic possession
I’m reduced to a tool of aggression
Now violence is my only intention
To silence life in every direction
Agony
Fallacy cultivates tragedy
Rendering casualties

Go
In this room, we rot like prisoners
Waiting for death to welcome us
There are no visitors, nobody leaves here
Alone in this world
Nothing to fill that gaping hole in your self-worth
Hollow, starved for affection
Wallow in your reflection
I catch myself praying to no one
Messages that will never be returned
To expect more is absurd
Within the abstract, there is no love to give
You signed the contract, now you must live with it
Alone in this world
Nothing to fill that gaping hole in your self-worth
No home, no return
Rotting away, you’ve lost control. There’s no answer.
Sorrow, casting the first stone
Swallowed into the unknown
You knew what this was, I am not the one
You choose to deceive yourself again and again
When you fall, I hold out my hand, but only for so long
A love, so honest and pure, buried and gone
Why can’t you see that my heart is empty?
Try to break free, still your spirit tempts me

Eras Of The Past
04:08
|
|||
All the flowers are withering
And the river is slowly drying up
Moving forward forever and ever
On a path that does not stretch far enough
A finite elixir
Seeping through all the cracks of a fragile cups
Becoming disfigured
A hollow shell of what once was
I never thought I’d end up like this
Been trying to cherish the love that I have
But it never seems to last
There is a quiet illness we can never cure
A thief in the night that feeds on your life
And nothing satisfies its appetite
I’ve tried to bring back the memories
But they’re locked away
I’ve tried to I retrace my footsteps
But they’re not the same
Feel the night growing colder
Close your eyes, and it’s over
I never thought I’d end up like this
Been trying to cherish the love that I have
But it never seems to last
I’m looking back at all that I’ve missed
Still longing for moments I’ll never get back
To re-live eras of the past

Desolate Specter
03:12
|
|||
Sometimes I chase the stars into the night sky
And I can see everything
Twilight imbues the air as it unwinds time and space
From the galaxy
All of creation was held in place
Until no traces of life remained
I’ve spent my whole life searching
And I’ve found nothing
No room for love in this life
Cast aside everybody
A twisted moral compass
Guides me in circles
Desolate specter of the damned, lost forever
Why?
Every venture another dead end
Tell another lie to myself
Begging, praying for absolution
Of mortality
If my convictions can’t be replaced
Then this existence was all in vain
I’ve spent my whole life searching
And I’ve found nothing
No room for love in this life
Cast aside everybody
A twisted moral compass
Guides me in circles
Desolate specter of the damned, lost forever
Leave me
With my misery
Wandering endlessly
Forever searching
Finding nothing

Moribund
03:48
|
|||
I woke up today, my body ablaze
Stood out in the rain, to put out flames
But it burns me the same
It burns me the same
Barely alive, I fear there’s nothing left to save
So many times I’ve tried to throw it all away
I choke on the air, the doctors don’t care
Caught up in despair, I whisper a prayer
But nobody’s there
But nobody’s there
Barely alive, I fear there’s nothing left to save
So many times I’ve tried to throw it all away
Just let me throw it all away, cause there’s nothing to save
I’m tired of running from fate with a foot in the grave
So bury me in my shame
Allow me to die in vain, and don’t remember my name
Don’t remember my name

The Edge Of Time
03:52
|
|||
Welcome to the edge of time
Rise, open your eyes and breathe in
High above the nexus of deception
Ties that bind the stories we live
Lies fed through a prophecy of bullshit
Access the energy locked inside yourself
Become the catalyst of revolution in this hopeless world
Powers unlike anything you’ve ever felt
Stand at the gates of freedom, punishing us for crimes of their own
I’m tired of acting like there’s nothing wrong
They divide out of spite, we play along
And all the while our courage rots away
Only left with ourselves to blame
Phantom, watch over me
Lend me the courage to weather the storm
Grant me the strength to reach my final form
Oh my god, I never thought this would be my demise
Holding the spark of forever inside
As I am standing at the edge of time
I’m tired of acting like there’s nothing wrong
They divide out of spite, we play along
And all the while our courage rots away
Only left with ourselves to blame
I’m sick of singing all these broken songs
Can’t deny, I’ve been blind, but now I’m strong
And I will live to fight another day
While the devil decides your fate
Tear my soul apart
I will never
Forfeit the spark of forever inside
Open your eyes and breathe in every fragment of hope you can find
Your prophecy of lies will not protect you at the edge of time
