Within the natural drive
Instincts that call to everything alive
Certainty can not be defined
Until the pieces are certainly aligned
The flow of nonexistent sympathy
Emotions fade and give way to apathy
Eyes awake to the future dear
Seeing the end coming ever near
What would you give to relive all of this again
Rebegin
Breathing
Once again
The sun dawns on a new earth
Eclipsed by the sins of which it gave birth
A rising tide of insignificance
Until the clouds are shrouded in repentance
Taking the path of the far unseen
Clawing away at the seams that seem unreal
It's not real
Indefinite thoughts
Definite dreams
Born at the bottom to die without reason
The flow of nonexistent sympathy
Emotions fade and give way to apathy
Breaking from my
Thoughts and actions
This tomb is my
Only home
Reaching for the skin
Within my bones
Eyes awake to the future dear
Seeing the end coming ever near
What would you give to relive all of this again
Rebegin

Split from a nameless soul, defining life
No heart inside the shell, no will to survive
Out of reach from the hands of mankind
Out of love for the natural drive
Blameless painless atrophy
Silver linings within
Hopeless worthless catastrophe
Striving for something that's not meant to be
Deficient of truth, anemic for god
When your eyes see the path then all will be rethought
You're not insane, you're not insane
Say that again while you're living with pain
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Can you hear me
Or do you not really care
You're the catalyst of my fractured mind
Without you I was content but blind
You're the catalyst of my fractured mind
Without you myself I could find
Split from a nameless soul, defining life
No heart inside the shell, no will to survive
Out of reach from the hands of mankind
Out of love for the natural drive
No fate
Gather the heart of the nameless soul
Assemble the pieces and make them whole
Look in the picture and see their distress
Understand why they could never confess
Deficient of truth, anemic for god
When your eyes see the path then all will be rethought
You're not insane, you're not insane
Say that again while you're living with pain
That life doesn't belong to you
Everything you did fucked everything up
You don't care about anything
All you are is the catalyst of my fractured mind

Always caught by the grid
Nearing the brink of extinction
Revolving around an unknown path
Until it all repeats again
Faceless with rage
A sensationless pain of the third degree
Conceal the soul before it turns deranged
God forbid all eyes could see
Make me whole
Bring me down
Make me whole
Bring me down again
I've been through these pages again and again
Living my life like it's only a sin
Where does it end and where did it begin
Reliving the past that I don't even believe in
Holding time in the palm of your hand
Watching it slip through the cracks like sand
Recover everything again and again
But then it comes full circle just to begin
Figures of the light
Why have I been forsaken
Why am I stuck in this time loop
To form the circle once again
What did I do to deserve this
To live the cycle once again
Why am I stuck in this time loop
To form the circle once again
What did I do to deserve this
To live the cycle once again
Live in the past like today is your last
Again and again watching years go by fast
Seeing the signs yet never halting pace
Until it shows up staring you in the face
I've been through these pages again and again
Living my life like it's only a sin
Where did it end and where did it begin
Reliving the past that I don't even believe in
Make me whole
Bring me down
Make me whole
Bring me down
Make me whole
Bring me down
Faceless with rage
A sensationless pain of the third degree
Conceal the soul before it turns deranged
God forbid your eyes could scream

Where do we begin
Suffering a lesson that I won't win
I throw my eyes into the ocean
To see if I can find myself
It hurts
Restrain me
Hold me under
Essence of life poured into my eyes
The sun covers my head and I'm going under
Do you hear all the sounds of everything we've ever lost
They're all going under
The light has reached the day
Eclipsed by golden figures
All harbouring a golden face
They take me to the golden heavens
So that I can find my place again
It fucking hurts
Surfacing, swimming to the top of the mountains
Opening my eyes I see the figures around me
My body
It's going under
Do you hear all the sounds of everything we've ever lost
They're all going under
The light has reached the day
Black sun
Surfacing, swimming to the top of the mountains
Opening my eyes I see the figures around me
My body
It's going under
Essence of life poured into my eyes
The sun covers my head and I'm
Essence of life poured into my eyes
The sun covers my head and I'm going
Do you hear all the sounds of everything we've ever lost
They're all going under
The light has reached the day
Esoteric balance falling into the wrong hands
Find a plan, escape this mind apocalypse
I've found peace without myself
Where do we begin
Suffering a lesson that I won't win
I throw my eyes into the ocean
To see if I can find myself

Become the form
Complete the circle
Live the cycle
Of life
A piece of truth
In the puzzle of life
Live the cycle
Complete the circle
No peace without pain
A piece of truth
In the puzzle of life
Live the circle
Complete the cycle
Redeeming qualities
All stuck to limiting possibilities
Step onto this ground
Tell me it's not there
Look into the sky
Tell me it's not there
The true nature of being free
It's not fair to us
To break these shackles
We have to break our voice
It's not fair
Nobody's there
It's not fair
Death in the air
New flesh reborn new life deformed
Long live failure long live pain
Eyes for eyes and souls for greed
A shape is reborn to continue the seed
The spiraling liquidised centre of truth
The spiraling liquidised fuck
A head to kill or suck
Demonised honesty

Diminution of Reality
04:45
|

|
Bright eyes shine above the rest
Holding our breath
Will we reach the other end
Or will we suffer
Going under writhing waters and not coming back
Fearing the only thing that you've never lacked
Tasting the freedom of what you lacked before
This is the only thing to fix the soul
Pouring the salt into every fresh wound
Into a damaged earth and every tomb
Breathing the life into all of the kin
Only to relive their every last sin
Forget everything and lie down your arms
Die for the greater cause of never doing harm
Break the lines, suffer everything inside (this is the year of the light)
Take their eyes, take their sight (this is the time to be right)
Break the lines, suffer everything inside (this is the year of the light)
Hold on, stay alive (be everything as it might)
Reality breaks at the seams
Bright eyes shine above the rest
Holding our breath
Will we reach the other end
Or will we suffer
Going under writhing waters and drowning
Dilute meanings
Lose all feeling
Diminute reality

Save us from what we don't know
Coalesce with filth
Dreamer has no life, no home
Liar has no guilt
All of us are worthless
Rotten at the core
Break this lost reality
It left us wanting more
Keeping the signs at bay
Leading our hearts astray
Why are we stuck in these feelings
Feelings of pain and hopelessness
We'll find the reasons to keep on living
If it all falls down, we won't die in vain
Save us from what we don't know
Coalesce with filth
Dreamer has no life, no home
Liar has no guilt
Endless synergy
We'll find the reasons to keep on living
If it all falls down, we won't die in vain
All of us are worthless
Rotten at the core
Break this lost reality
It left us wanting more
Bleeding from the soul
Eyes and face are torn
Absence of the whole
Anima reborn

Animus: Desolation
07:08

Dying thoughts, dying mind
Everything will die without the
World's last dreaming souls
Dying breed, dying kind
Dying alone to find the
World's last dreaming souls
Injured creation
Empath's last sensation
"Stand alone, well they should"
Dehumanization
And degradation
Rationalization of the
Injured creation's
Dehumanization
Set to break the limits that hold us back
No going back to the past
Resurging lies
Wasted lives
I realize that
Some are set to die
Set to die
Desolate revolving circle of logic
Everything comes back to the centre of it all
In the eyes of the ones who control us
Nothing is everything that we never had
Salvation's reign begin
Taming the beast within
Grieving a timely end
Hold on, defend
Never give in
Relive everything
Reach the truth again
Back to the marred place
Back to all the sin
We'll find the reasons to keep on living
If it all falls down, we won't die in vain
In this silence
We find solace
In the absence of truth
Life is meaningless
All of us are worthless
Rotten at the core
Break this lost reality
It left us wanting more
Desolation grabs us
Holds us by the ends
We can't stop what we don't know
Animus within

I just want to spit
On your fucking name
Get out of my head
Or I'll piss you out
You ugly shit
You got sick skin
Burn like tomorrow
Smells like tomorrow
Only 40% calculated
Hold on to what you own
Only 40% calculated
Grab your shoes we're going home
We're going home
I'm sick and tired of all this flashy shit
Give me a stick and I'm happy with it
The ground speaks to me
I'm not insane I swear it
Just believe in these words of mine
I never meant to hurt you
Yeah I did
Yes I did
Yeah I did
Shit
I just want to spit
On your fucking name
Get out of my head
Or I'll piss you out
You ugly shit
You got sick skin
Burn like tomorrow
Smells like tomorrow
Lies
Nice shoes
Nice face
Could have sworn he was married
Spit
Take my regards to the depths
Or at least tell your wife about me
Just believe in these words of mine
I never meant to hurt you
Spit
Only 40% calculated
Hold on to what you own
Only 40% calculated
Grab your shoes we're going home
