The past has resurrected in me
Finding its way into every crevice I swore to protect
The phobias and fears have taken root
Life is full of choices I cannot comprehend
And decisions I cannot make
Another nail driven into the child behind these eyes
Screams of terror raging out in defense
But hopelessness gives way into depression
Manic, unstable, unthinking
A blank stare into my soul
At the demons I cannot escape

Deep End
02:53
|
|
||
The end of my road is drawing near
No excuses of dismissal
My departure engrained
And delusions sustained
Left a thinking mind to fend for itself
Stretched to the limit
Where can I turn
Entwined in these tombs
Hands once sacred
Now tainted by reality
This is our cold existence
Here at my dead end
At war with the voices inside
Appointed and reminded
By lasting consequences

Conquered Discretion
02:21
|
|
||
There is very little to sooth the soul
Very little to comfort the rage
Days blend together
And ruin the pallet
Spitting hate onto a canvas of black
The cold calls me again
Beckoning me into arms of despair
The savage nature of a fractured mind
Cast into a world of the lifeless
Few follow here
Dwelling in tyranny over my mind's eye
Unearthing my regrets
Preparing oneself for an unstable tomorrow
And a shelter denied
Collapsing under each day
Refined in the torment
A calloused soul against a deceitful world

Dead Year
02:17
|
|
||
Times we had have now slipped away
We cannot relive those days
Timeless they rest in the back of my mind
Months taunt as they pass
Faces I've seen
Voices I've heard
Forever engrained in me
Here we are at expedition's end
Will things ever be the same
Or am I content with complacency
Learning to cherish these deceased memories
Of a former self in a distant time
Rewriting the narrative in newfound solitude
Where persuasion cannot reach
My time is done
My time is here
My time is yet to come

Extracted Perceptions
03:08
|
|
||
Feeling the need to extract this state of being
The undefined fog that alters my perception
Lost in a haze of relentless depression
Suffering the urge to make the first move
Condemnation claims the need to persist
A racing mind with no end in sight
My mind stretched beyond reach
To push for achievements I can not put forth
A cloud of confusion and crippling thoughts
Shows the downfall and mental affliction
Of the isolated host
The weight has defined and shaped like stone
A new life in lesson
Learning to adapt
Learning to adapt

The Unequivocal Fate
02:25
|
|
||
The harsh reality awakens my senses
The inevitable downfall of consciousness
Implanted as a child, a difficult lesson
To wrestle with mortality and seek out salvation
Year after year, inching closer to inner peace
A life of repetition and seeking solutions
To escape my unequivocal fate
The lust of life threatened by death
Forcing my will to comply in acceptance
All that is cherished and all that is loved
Taken from me by the wrath to come
Seeking the answers within a doubtful mind
Years of questioning for solutions unfound
Delivered to me in a parcel of dust
Finding new hope and a reason to live
To cherish the company of those most dear
Death will steal us, spiraling into grief
The sunken reality of pursuing conclusions
To forever seek compliance of the torturous seeds of old

Nowhere To Die
02:24
|
|
||
Claustrophobic in my head
Smothered by my own thoughts
Voices from the past or beyond
Conducting the tragedy in me
Feeling like there's nowhere to die
Only existence within this shell
Great tribulation is upon us
Reconfiguring our valued state
Tempting us to devour the solace
That is too frail to hold
Stability threatened by mentality
Action hindered by will
I am the giver and destroyer
The enforcer of neutrality
And dictator of lamentation
I am the force that drives you beneath
To wallow in your pitiful grave
I am the coffin that holds you close
And the dirt that weighs you down
I am damnation
Coming to claim my crown
Nowhere to die
I have nowhere to die

Acquainted In Apathy
02:29
|
|
||
The song unsung
Preserved for the end
Year after year
Relinquished in silence
A broken voice
Sheltered in void
Nothing to say
No one to see
Colder than before
Each moment collapsed
Nourished isolation
To uphold the sacred
Determination
Into rebirth
Hardened inside
Courtesy of myself
As I speak
A narrow divide
Never to confide
In the voice of another
A state of mind left unstable
Cherished through consequence
Acquainted in apathy
Opinions invade
Twisting perceptions
And defiling morals
Fragility's blessings
Pushing deeper
Cutting through flesh
And reaching the core
The song unsung
Preserved for the end
Relinquished in silence
|

The Last Deluge
02:07
|
|
||
Overwhelming turmoil fills our land
In our minds, in our hearts
Spoiling the sacred soil
Defective hands lacking sorrow
Grief defines each day
As a new tragedy emerges
We turn a blind eye to shut out the horror
But it finds us in our beds each night
Haunting our consciousness
Testing our morals
Devouring our sanity
Is it all falling apart
Or are we simply more aware
Curse the voices that feed our misery
Made less human by damning words
Flooding us with hopelessness
And altering our cognition
Let them drown beneath their speech
Their poisoned words uttered no more
