Abandon Me
02:09
|

Cut the ropes that would keep us together
Build up the walls that will keep us apart
Trust no one, believe in nothing
Blur the lines between God and The Devil
Mind always racing (no sense of focus)
Watch me rot for the sake of your ego
Abandon me, leave me for dead
Leave me restless, cold and forgotten
Buried beneath 6 feet of pride
Hold your tongue
Speak no evil against those that were there from the start
You've buried yourself with your own hands

Path To Nowhere
03:29

Nothing but the sting of regret
The cold chill of mistakes, forever biting at my mind
Chip away, at the shell of my being
Cut away, at my sanity
Bring forth the end of my existence
Put an end to my suffering
I will atone for every life I have invaded
And left nothing but ruin
My life flashes before my eyes, am I proud of what I have become?
The words of the sinner creep in the back of my mind
Clouding all sense of judgment
Turn back, turn back
I am doomed
I am doomed
Will I ever change?
Is this the end?
Have I seen the eyes of demise
No hope for the weary
Am I fading away?
I feel it in my bones, i feel it clinch my soul
It's a feeling I can't escape
Corrupted and misled, the path to nowhere lies before me
Is this the end?
Have I seen the eyes of demise
No hope for the weary
Am I fading away?

Transparent Skin
02:35

I swear that I'm the man I say I am
Never taking more than I've been given
Holding my own since day one
That never seems to matter anymore
Feel free to dig into my past
You'll hear what you wanna hear
I will remain the same
Take away what you wanna take
I wear my heart on the end of my sleeve
Slipping further into depression
Take a shot when you think you've got me figured out
I'll make you bite the bullet
I'll make you bite the bullet
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
For the record, don't point your finger till you look at yourself
I've seen the same thing over and over again
It's too the point I want to seal my own eyes shut
Who are you any ways?
I've never put myself above the line
I've always sold myself short
Hold me to my word and watch my every move
You will never see me sway
You'll never hear my story change
See right through me
I remain transparent
This is why I dont associate with anyone or anybody I used to call friend
Everyone is quick to call out a flaw
But when it comes out in the end
WE'RE ALL FUCKED UP
I'll remain transparent
See right through me

Cut-Throat
03:50
|

Hands in the fire, you've burned yourself again, like countless times before
Turn your back again, starve yourself for attention
What do you stand for?
Weakest link in a broken chain
You mean nothing to no one
Seal your mouth shut
We'll forget your existence
(Feed your fears)
Cut them down again
(Hide your pain)
Show no weakness
(Wear the mask)
Don't let them know your face
(Lie to yourself)
Fuck you and your sense of entitlement
You mean nothing to no one
We've heard it all before
It's never anything fucking new
Close your eyes
It'll all be over soon
Oh the sheep have lost their way
Lost in the depths of hopelessness
The wolf will search and destroy
And I am the Wolf

Lost in the depths of space
Born from your darkest nightmares
Crawling from beyond the shadows
Gripping around your neck
In space, no one can here you scream
On earth, it wouldn't even matter
Torn, limb from limb
Origin unknown
I feel it bursting through my ribs
I feel it slither beneath my skin
Face to face with her majesty, bringer of the infestation
Smell the scent of flesh melting from bone
It's over it's over the serpents are rising
The serpents are rising!
57 years of sleep, wake up and relive the nightmare
Destroyed in space, but never out of memory
The perfect creature
The perfect weapon
The perfect death
In space, no one can hear you scream!

Jump The Trigger
03:13
|

You're jumping straight for the trigger
One word sets it all in motion
Bang, Bang! Another bites the dust
I guess opinions kill
Your walls are your saving grace
Come out from behind the screen, say it to my face
Coward!
Scapegoat
I'll save my words for the times the matter most
Shot down from square one
I'll never open my fucking mouth
You're holding everyone accountable for the same beliefs as you
Stitch by stitch, I'll close the wound
I'll keep my words to myself
So quick with the wicked words
Spewing insolence like an everyday drug
What goes through your fucked up mind
That everyone should feel like you?
You've built a facade to block out the pain
Do what helps to ease your conscious mind
We see right through you
You're not fooling anyone

Create, Condemn, Repeat
02:42
|

Eyes of the people see only pain and greed
We can't let this go, something must be done
Sell your soul for the gold
At the cost of the innocent
Lay to waste, the image of the golden life
The sick and healthy, one in the same domain
Rise to ruin the foundation of the scripted filth
Demolition to the walls we have built around us
Buy your salvation
Burn the ones that will serve you
The riches of life are never coated in gold
You've put your faith in the cheapest fortune
Absorb. Accept. Annihilate.
Create. Condemn. Repeat.
The people ease their minds with what they think is right
While countless portraits are painted to tell an altered truth
We can either sit and wait for the fall of it all
Or we can speak up for the weak and the less equipped
Count your change, count the blessings that are few
You'll never know when you're gonna lose it all
We embrace the darkest times
It's on the road to Hell we learn the secrets of Heaven
Leave the scum to rot
Take your money to the grave
Leave the weak to die
No remorse for the weak
Put yourself on a pedestal
We'll bring you down to the bottom of the food chain
Absorb. Accept. Annihilate.
Create. Condemn. Repeat.

The Wandering Soul
03:04
|
|||
I can't see the light
The dark surrounds me
I feel less than existent
I've given in to the will of corruption
My body lies on the cold hard floor
Shaken to the bone, there's nothing left of me
I feel no longer
Embraced by Death, I can't see through the mist
See me through to the end
Carry me across the river
Cold blood running through my veins
My heart beats for the undeniable
Longing for a sense of clarity, reaching for a hand that's never there
I've seen it all
The good and the bad, the real and the fake
Forget my name
Erase me from your memory
Behold, the wandering soul
There will be no peace
The hands of death pull me under
At last the road has ended
I see no longer
I feel no longer
