Emptiness surrounds your head, this curse is chasing you
While your heart's still beating.
All your hopes and dreams destroyed, no one saves you from the void,
You're dying faster than you blink.
You're lost in a dream again a beautiful lie come and see,
How the creature dies defeated by its own lie.
Without the flesh and bones or hate and love, they're gone as well.
You'll be crushed to pieces 'cause you are nothing at all.
Running in the night at your will.
Trying to escape this fate.
Trying to run away or escape again.
Trying to run away...
Life breaks you
Life kills you
You're nothing
You're worthless.
Oh there you stand, from here to last
Recollecting hope in exchange for fear
Disturbing the so called inner peace that so few posses.
Who's in charge of this circus? Who do you answer to?
Dying beast, ashamed and faceless attempt of human creation,
Reply when you are questioned...
Still get afraid by the lash kissing your back
Like there was anything left to save from you
I fell in the end, once again
I thought I was so sure of
Things that hurt me,
things to keep away.
I'm drawing the line, holding tight
The sickness seems to remedy
Afflictions,
Cure convictions.
Is this your way of saying
Your heart is broken?
Badly broken...
Is this your way of pulling my strings?
So crass and heedlessly
Fell under your spell
But a shadow will glare fetching me from it
You'll be stripped in shame
As I raise in the dark destroying what you love.
Fell under your spell
But a shadow will glare fetching me from it
Your disguise will blaze
In waters of shame you should find what you've lost
I'm saving my time, up all night
The sickness seems to carry
On with victims,
Endless questionings...
Is this your way of saying
Your heart is broken?
Badly broken...
Is this your way of pulling my strings?
So crass and heedlessly
I waited so much for this
But then you stole it, took it from me
Is this your way of harvesting things?
So fucking selfishly
If I tell you that I finally got here and everything is gone.
The chaos doesn't push my soul, my words into oblivion.
The physical discomfort, how does it feel to breath, a moment of clarity again.
I'm lost in my own madness, I'm here to face this deadly enjoyment. The punishment of my own sins.
Cause I'm living in a state of mind of freeze, I'm dead inside and this is all I feel.
My soul has been removed I'm trying to live without a life. Without a life.
My reflection in the mirror, an image that has vanished from myself. The bitterness and anguish feel like hell.
I'm sentenced to this suffer, I know I'm dead yet fighting in this place, I have to find a way to escape this fate.
