Blight 04:26
This day and age we're facing fearful odds through the ashes of fathers and temples of gods We're digging graves for our unborn ones the time has come to draw the fucking line They are not prophets they're just spreading lies Lies from their mouths every word aimed to blind Patronize simple minds bring to naught and suppress every thought With every second we're enticing our decline We have vanished in the shadows of our pride In the end we are leaving everything behind For out of the ground we were taken and for the dust we are With every second we're enticing our decline We have vanished in the shadows of our pride In the end we are leaving everything behind For out of the ground we were taken and for the dust we are

Remnant 04:04
How can you be so proud of all the harm you’ve caused? I could never fathom your line of reasoning and all the things that you’ve done to me in suspended disbelief...fuck Your line of reasoning has taken everything Your line of reasoning has taken everything (Heal my scars cause I can’t run from the things you’ve done) What makes you think that you can walk away and act like everything is fine? There’s only sorrow, pain and misery - it’s all that you have left behind These silvered sunken eyes a darkness that has paralyzed every aspect of my life Imprinted memories of cruel abuse and suffering - I carry within me A past that’s crippling and staining everything - with dark and filthy imagery How can I get past the burning ache that fills my chest with every single breath I take? I am the walking dead with nothing left - a remnant of beaten past... (Heal my scars cause I can’t run from the things you’ve done) I can’t allow you to just walk away and act like this can be undone I gather all the hate inside of me to make sure your sins will find you You can’t run from me my thirst for blood is now awakening And I can’t allow you to just walk away so don’t try to fucking run... Your line of reasoning has taken everything Your line of reasoning has taken everything You’ve taken everything… Heal my scars cause I can’t run from the things you’ve done

Everyone seems so fun on my brand new widescreen - a gaping glory hole that sucks me in A vortex of illusions and lies at first it feels so good but soon it leaves me dry So up the dosage and grab the popcorn - join the joyride Point your finger, it's just a mirror screaming out loud We don't care about you - just wanna take a bite We don't care about you - and later spit you out Endorsed by the devil this rat race runs strong Buttfucked and broken and begging for more Real life doesn't turn us on we won't rest until we fall And no one ever really wins this crazy marathon Disorganized and overwhelmed we are conflicted We’ve made our bed with eyes wide shut we’re choking now And the blood that paints our screens is our blood that’s being spilled And the blood that paints our screens is our blood that’s being spilled So up the dosage and grab the popcorn - join the joyride Point your finger, it's just a mirror screaming out loud Screaming out loud...

I hear my demons they're calling they're here again to take hold of my life Force my actions upon me make me forget that they can't be undone Is evil something that we are or is it something that we do? I can’t remember who I am when I’m with you I’ve become something less I’ve become someone else I’ve become what I hated the most Take away all my options leave me with nothing but hate, rage and spite Force my actions upon me make me forget that they can't be undone Is evil something that we are or is it something that we do? I can’t remember what I am when I’m with you I’ve become something less I’ve become someone else I’ve become what I hated the most - I’ve become you Is evil something that we are or is it something that we do? I can’t remember who I am when I’m with you Is evil something that we are or is it something that we do? I can’t remember who I am when I’m with you

The answers given are in fact increasing all the crushing weight The world keeps pushing down on me I think I need some help Cause right now I am lost in this dance of despair as I keep questioning myself... The pace we force upon ourselves feels so hard to follow The daily dose of doubt is way too much to swallow Stop - I need to stop and catch my breath Stop - There’s only so much I can take before I start breaking apart There’s something deeply wrong with us just take a look around And see the world for what it is and witness it’s burning grounds Stop telling yourself that everything is fine Don’t turn a blind eye and sleepwalk through life No - I can’t escape the state I’m in No - No words can help and make me feel that this is what life’s all about Now walk through all the broken shards detach and realign And see the world for what it is and witness the burning grounds Stop telling yourself that everything is fine Don’t turn a blind eye and sleepwalk through life Stop telling yourself that everything is fine Don’t turn a blind eye and sleepwalk through life Detach and realign...

Metafiction 03:55
Devoid of life... What do you see when you take a look behind the curtain? Is there something more? Something more than meets the eye? A mockery of common sense and human judgement that lies beneath the empty words of daily headlines And if you had the choice would you try to reason and change the world Or would you rather choose to light the match and watch it burn (And would you change the world or would you watch it burn?) Underneath the searing skies empty souls devoid of life We’re overdosed by the constant noise forced fed through media and we’re looking for more If we’re threatened by loss we give up our freedom In this kingdom of lies question everything - you have to question everything How quickly does life seem to change for us if we take a step forward through the smokescreen and witness the decay An empty gaze and vacant minds that were slowly poisoned by ill defined criteria Underneath the searing skies there’s nothing left to find Underneath the searing skies empty souls devoid of life

How far can we go? Every step that we take brings us closer to the edge And now that we've reached the end there is no turning back Every word, every breath, every dream that we had nothing but shadows every step of the way We are grasping at straws and fading away We are sitting on shoulders of giants We are playing gods amongst ourselves We are disregarding the fear of perfection We are just another mistake we made Our souls separate in silence and we slowly close our eyes as life passes us by Our bodies turn to ashes and our loved ones into dust how can we be so blind We are sitting on shoulders of giants We are playing gods amongst ourselves We are disregarding the fear of perfection We are just another mistake we made Our souls separate in silence and we slowly close our eyes Our bodies turn to ashes and our loved ones into dust How can we be so blind? We are sitting on shoulders of giants We are playing gods amongst ourselves We are disregarding the fear of perfection We are just another mistake we made We are sitting on shoulders of giants We are playing gods amongst ourselves We are disregarding the fear of perfection We are just another mistake we made

Familiar words wake me up at night and confront me with violence No whispers, just an endless gloom and the walls that surround me Take a good look at what I came to so weary and burdened throughout And all my screams drowned in silence... All I hear is the sound of your voice and it keeps me breathing All I hear is the sound of your voice don't let me go Take a good look at what you gave me a nightmare I'll live all my life - I can't escape it That moment when you lost all control still haunts me each night and all my screams met with silence... All I hear is the sound of your voice and it keeps me breathing All I hear is the sound of your voice don't let me go There's no such thing as life with no burdens and we are who we are There's no such thing as life with no burdens and we are who we are Take a good look at what you gave me a nightmare I'll live all my life - I can't escape it That moment when you lost all control still haunts me each night and all my screams met with silence... All I need is the sound of your voice all you give me is silence All I need is the sound of your voice all you give me is silence All I need is the sound of your voice all you give me is silence All you gave me was silence...

Behold, this is what we have become - an unstoppable force crushing all those who oppose With no restrains and proudly walking tall selfish to the core - mind set to conquer all Remorse cast aside and disposed to shape the perfect mold erase the weak and the old Human excess in it’s sickest form an overwhelming desire to dominate and control Disintegration - a failing society Remorse cast aside and disposed to shape the perfect mold erase the weak and the old Human excess in it’s sickest form an overwhelming desire to dominate and control This is damnation... Crowned with pride and drowned in senseless sacrifice Crowned with pride and marching towards our demise Witness the fall of reason Witness compassion withering Witness eradication of all morality We we are the source of evil We are the darkness slithering We are annihilation of all humanity Rise - This is a call for revolt Rise - This is a call for mutiny Rise - This is a call for sacrifice Rise - Transform humankind Crowned with pride and drowned in senseless sacrifice Crowned with pride and marching towards our demise This is a call for sacrifice This is a call for revolt This is a call for sacrifice This is a call for revolt Transform humankind...

Shadow Self 04:16
Do you feel safer here underneath your blackened sky? Can you breathe much clearer now in shadows of your empty life? Where does your haven lie in love for pain and silent cries? In inner strain you pray to keep self fulfillment through defeat? Searching for a perfect way to drown in the failure and selfishly reject everyone around you... Welcome to the place where dreams disappear in a blink of an eye And nothing really stays intact so you cannot be some kind of exception Do you really think that hiding is what will keep you safe? Do you really think escaping is what will set you free? Why don't you break these walls and withstand the pain that will set you free? You are nothing more than just a dancing shadow waiting for the sun to suck you dry Don't let yourself become a faceless coward waiting for someone to blame for your own mistakes Do you really think that hiding is what will keep you safe? Do you really think escaping is what will set you free? It's so easy to be disappointed and suffocate under the pressure Of unbearable ease of existence - fragile and uncertain Slave to your own illusions - let down by misfed emotions Ran out of places to hide - shadow self, cast aside

A pointless sacrifice in an attempt to utilize the last resort to protect your system Shepherd the herd and defend your kingdom... Deceive and guide the lost Deceive and guide the lost They fear the truth the most and gladly trade safety for freedom Deceive and guide the lost and offer them safety for freedom A pointless sacrifice in an attempt to utilize the last resort to protect your system Shepherd the herd and defend your kingdom... And then a lie was formed that would blind the young and old Never to question anything they’re being told and lead them down this dead end road Deceive and guide the lost Deceive and guide the lost They fear the truth the most and gladly trade safety for freedom Pushed against the wall - let freedom break the fall Oppression retailed as safety while the war rages on Submit to what you’re told and entrust your life Submit to what you’re told and entrust your life
