Erased from the Machine (Feat. Gabriel Micu)

from Reflections Demo Sessions by Absence of Truth

lyrics

You are the sinner and the lamb
The martyr and the wicked fallen star
Your suffering's evolved
No longer hell on earth
The one becomes the all
And after all is gone
Your skull's in infinite rebirth

Crisis envelops me
A suffering felt, not seen
You have no right to believe
The lifeline, sorrow deemed
Failure

This world was made for suffering
(This world was made for suffering)
Reborn again; this hellish dream
(Reborn again; this hellish dream)

You are the sinner and the lamb
Fall and surrender wicked star
Become

Cold, secluded
Lost inside a dream
Was it truly real
Am I not dead still
This is not your home
Go back and face your own
Binary calculations complete, you're dethroned

I will make you see
The error of your ways
Giving up on life
Give up on her, on them

Fuck
Can't wake up
Help me
I'm drowning in the waves
Was it ever really worth it
I think not

You've seen all I've done
It's not enough, it's never enough
I kept trying for myself
Not you, not any of you

One more drink, I'm neck deep in this shit that I've writ
I'm so cool I'm so clean, I don't need anything
Please don't-pulling back now, something's off can feel it
Eyes opening, wake up please wake up please wake up

Please wake up
Please wake up you're drowning

See if I give a shit, I'm sleeping for eternity
Cast into the black sea to bloodlet what's inside of me
I can't fucking sleep, trite words far as the eyes can see
Observations stifled while I suffocate, leave me be

And still I call out for someone to hear me
It seems the dream's over and here I am, safe
What even happened back there, I can't remember
Something about a girl, a bridge and I think I hurt her

Now
I've escaped the dream
It doesn't matter what I did because it never was real it seems
Now I'm safe

Wake up
I'm alive

How long have I been asleep
Consciousness eludes me
Hungover from nightmares
Pulling out this dreamstate
Alpha waves, fluoride stare
Hooked into the machine

You, what year is it
Stop putting needles in my skin
Aren't you one of my kin
Aren't you one of me

Passing out now
Fade to black
Can't remember home, not a trace
Am I in the ward, what is this place
Did I escape from the machine

Dead but not lost
I escaped from the machine
You are the sinner and the lamb
Fall and surrender wicked star
Become
