In a culture run by psychopaths
Where time is money
Where nothing means anything
Where nothing means something, still
Have we underestimated our capacity?
Have we overestimated our intelligence?
Artificial safety
Artificial comfort
Artificial life
It’s a lie till the day we die
Manufactured rights and wrongs
Manufactured satisfaction
Manufactured society
Manufactured belief

Pathetic, you never take a stand
Once again I lend you my hand
Will you ever walk my pace,
Or stay lost in this cold maze?
Feeding you with praise and glory
An endless hunger to avoid your hell
Apathetic, without a will
Excuses are your deadliest sin
I would destroy myself for you,
Which is exactly what you want me to do
Removing myself from my own life-story
Drained, no one but a shapeless shell
I see you rising from the light of my achievements
Absorbing the essence of my last thoughts
Scorned, taunted, unable to act
Left behind, I am the new you

Entombed In Silence
02:52
|
|||
Imprisoned within a floating cell
Consuming me as I yell
Not heard, not seen
As I struggle to make my plea
Life and death, dragging me down
I see the surface fade
I’ve been trying to fight this for too long
My body breaks under the crushing pressure
Life and death seeps through the fissures
Entombed in silence, this is my new abode
My tomb has no walls
No one can hear my calls
I am my prison from birth to return

Celestial
04:09
|

This mind of mine is racing
Don’t want you to come too close
I don’t want to taint you
Treasuring you more than my own existence
Hungering lonewolf, craving your touch and affection
Telling myself that I’m better off, nothing else can replace it
This mind of mine is racing
Trying to decode the signals you emit
This mind of mine is racing
And no drug could ever replace it
Stargazing, searching for a place I belong
Drifting deeper into your celestial eyes
Let me orbit your grace, let me bathe in the warmth of your light
Let me sail the vast oceans next to you
Full of fear I remain silent
I don’t want to taint you, to drag you across the event horizon
Too proud for rejection
Feelings gone cold
This mind of mine is racing

The Yearning
04:29
|
|||
Our sole existence depends on the bond between Terra and Sol
Framing life into the confinements of time
Birth and return
The notion of death keeps us alive
The fear of death keeps us from living
Born into a lifelong sentence
What does death have to say about life?
Why are we so fascinated by death?
Is the yearning for departing this world so strong?
Stop the search for the meaning of life
There’s no meaning, nor heaven
Born into a lifelong sentence

無月
05:16
|

Unreachable
Untouchable
Your darkest stories
Remain untold
You hold the answers
To what I am
I want to know you
To feel your very soul
We lose ourselves, we create our hells
Lacking your guidance
We take control, we play our roles
Under your moonless nights
As I draw my breath
Fill my lungs with haze
Show me my true way
I’m afraid to stay
Let me follow you
Find my darkness, too
Shine no light on me
I can’t bear to see

All That We Were
04:20
|
|||
This peaceful place, cradled into sleep
I ran through the forest to turn into this
Where I come from, the birds sing no song
I walk with the fire, I must carry it on
Look at me
Who do you see?
In this dream I am everyone except me
Seek me between the worlds
Where day and night collide
Red drapes and clothing
Am I telling you a lie?
In this dream I am everyone except me

The Void
04:48
|
|||
Grasping for air
Heart rate increasing
Nausea clinging hard
Anxiety eating away the me
Anxiety eating away the me
Chemical relief is god
Reaching out for help, clawing
Trapped inside the me
Beneath the skin no one crawls
Isolation of the heart
Hollow gaze, drawing breath
Fleeing the pain, drawing death
Chemical relief is god
Eating away the me

Happiness
04:11
|
|||
Happiness is nothing but a mirage in this roman society
Can one really trust another in a world built on sheer competition?
Time heals no wounds
It only stops the bleeding (for a while)
Stripped myself from human emotions
Just to manage life in this wretched world
It breaks my mind
Contemplating the need for power and control
Men with clandestine motives, playing god
Hell is the inability to love
It reduces people
Hell is the inability to love
It breaks people
Hell is the inability to love
It reduces people
Hell is the inability to love
It kills

Clad In Black
04:52
|
|||
Ridden with fear of my own reflection
Hidden in the tears of my own neglection
A colossal absence of light rules this plane
The heart, clad in black
Perpetual war in my eyes
The heart, clad in black
A colossal absence of light rules this plane
Wrecked by a train of thoughts
Picking up the pieces of me
Buried deep inside
A colossal absence of light
Perpetual war in my eyes
A colossal absence of light rules this plane
