The Lows One Goes To

their suffering is his wealth
their blind faith in his words will see him rise
I feel my eyes coated by the infectious darkness that he is spreading
the scapegoat, dead at the altar
use the blood to wash away their sins
with their eyes closed
he will prevail
we’ve been lead astray
with their eyes closed
he will prevail
wrong redefined as right
never have we been so lost
fighting hate with hate
guarded by wealth built of blood
empire’s made from your flesh
control the mind of the misled
he will convince the world to live in fear
he will convince the world to trust in no one
hatred fuels hatred
when will the blind see again?
hatred fuels hatred
no one will ever win

This Great Divide
04:52
|

I don’t understand the word humanity
What is its meaning if we can’t look each other in the eye?
I feel destined to become more jaded over time
Corrupted outlook
Ever growing population
Crowd thickens as empathy burns away
Emotions nonexistent, happiness just a memory
What’s become of us?
Disconnected
Disconnected
I feel severed
Hatred will kill us all
Fire against fire just greatens the divide
You’re supposed to be my reflection
But I don’t see myself in you
Trying to change the world with your eyes closed
You try to speak but all I hear is hatred
Ignorance
We were born with a hole in our heart
We evolved into this machine
Superior intelligence, zero remorse
How can we call ourselves human?
I’ve never felt so empty stood in the midst of this great divide

Ownlife

conditioned humans, manipulated
they see my thoughts, control my thoughts
I’m not free to speak my mind
must full inline or be wiped from memory
ownlife, I want what is mine
all seeing eye staring at me
all seeing eye sees through my transparent soul
all seeing eye staring at me
all seeing eye sees through my transparent soul, nothing’s hidden
ownlife, I want what is mine
in the eyes of eternity I want my own identity
boundless freedom from what enslaves me
I’m in shackles but no chains on me
free on the outside but a prisoner on the inside
unchained, my wish to be
unscathed by the world
conditioned humans, manipulated
they see my thoughts, control my thoughts
I’m not free to speak my mind
must full inline or be wiped from memory

House On The Cliff Face
04:34
|
|||
there is no shelter from this oncoming storm
I boarded the windows but it wont stop the rain
why did we build on unsteady ground
the foundations of this house will fall to pieces
hollow, no warmth here
nothing but resentment fills this home
kingdom now in ruins
I cannot salvage anything
what is there to salvage when what we built was a lie?
suffer this mistake
there is no brutality quite like reality
there is nothing for us here
let this house fall to the rocks below
let the ocean claim our home
there is nothing for us here
let this house be reduced to dust
let us fall, you don’t have a choice, we’re in this together
it doesn’t matter if we see eye to eye, we’ll fall just the same suffer this mistake

Self Seeded
04:16
|
|||
I’ll pave the way to my own downfall
I am the strain
I watch the cracks appear in front of me
no want to repair the damage I have caused
I want to reap what I sow so I can now wallow in this indulgent misery
I will weep for myself as I’ve made a bed of nails on which I lie
embrace the pain, become a martyr, stab myself in the back
and blame the world, who did this to me?
I want to wear this crown of misery
I’ll sit on my throne and rule forever
scream at the sky, Shout at the wind, why have you done this to me?
I will weep
I wish to suffer
embrace the pain, become a martyr, stab myself in the back
and blame the world, who did this to me?
I’ll dig my own grave of selfishness

Under The Paper Sky
05:38
|
|||
I was born with fire in my eyes, a reflection of this burning world
my wrists are scarred by marks of the shackles
my mind not mine, my mind not mine
I was born with fire in my eyes
a reflection of this burning world
the veils over my eyes
I cannot see the world before me
wrapped up in our own world
life under the paper sky
so much goes unseen
unseen
I broke away for a second and felt reality come crashing down on, down on me
a wave of consciousness over whelming me, a sea of thought now parting, parting for me
living in disharmony
this cursed choir
It’s so easy to be out of sync with the world
It’s so easy to drown in this sea of thought
living in disharmony
I want to start again without the
I want to start again without the shackles of the modern age
I want
I want to pierce the sky
and let the rain pour down on me
I want to pierce the sky and wash myself clean
without the shackles of the modern age
