1.
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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
