Narcissus Unbound
03:09
|
|||
Lacking comprehension and empathy
A complete disdain for life
Assessing and evaluating
Mere hollow human husks
Impulsive
Reckless
Unable to feel shame
Aggressive
Hostile
Antisocial behavior
Exploiting others in harmful ways
All is disposable
For your own gain or pleasure
You can’t hear anything other than yourself
Incapable of maintaining
Any meaningful relation
Egomaniacal that lacks remorse
Pathological disregard for other beings
Violent tendencies unleashed
Not bound by social norms
Not bound by morals
Looking down on everyone
Narcissus unbound
Violent tendencies unleashed
Narcissus unbound
Impulsive
Reckless
Unable to feel sorry
Aggressive
Hostile
Selfish behavior
Beyond a superficial and shallow being
Lies a dysregulated temper
Deadly violence triggered by frustration
Lacking comprehension and empathy
A complete disdain for life
Deadly violence triggered by frustration

Cult for the Fallen
03:19
|
|||
Emerging from amoral minds
A way to congregate
The lost and discouraged
That were left behind
Greedy for power
They present a path for those
Who cannot seat at the table
Of the magnificent
Consumerism feast
The disheartened flock at their halls
Searching for answers to a meaningless life
You buy any answer to your pitiful lie
Come forth
Orphans of conspicuous consumption
Your god has abandoned you
Come forth
Children of a world that eats itself
There’s a new place for you
Collecting the pieces
To justify the existence
For the fallen
Ephemeral clarity
Lightning that comes
With roaring thunders
Anguish and sorrow feed this beast
That preys on the minds of the feeble
Providing cover to the deep hollow
Come forth
Orphans of conspicuous consumption
Your god has abandoned you
Come forth
Children of a world that eats itself
There’s a new place for you
Abandon yourself in favor of this

Ephemeral Control
03:43
|
|||
Exposed in an obscure day, the clouds seem not to dance anymore
Dirty and with the mind far away
Waiting for the sounds of life to come
Shaking under a frozen sun, breathing life and burning like fire
I thought I was the only one to feel, but there’s always more to come
Always more to come
I heard the wind
And looked at the skies
And I thought it was the end
But it was just
Rock bottom, I imagine if Jesus is laughing at us
Underneath his light of pain and neglect
Pale in the middle of a bonfire, watching the lights that come and go
The singed air is guided to me
And no one cares if the fire is dying
Truly no one wants to talk about anything
I heard the wind
And looked at the skies
And I thought it was the end
Another holiday
I think I’m under control and then realize that I’m on a free fall
Sleepy but trying to stand
I can fondly remember everything I’ve lived
With a roman candle and a glass of wine in my hand
I heard the wind
and looked at the skies
And I thought it was the end
The end of the world

Then all that I feared became reality
All that I didn’t follow became my life
Just when everything seemed fine, the sun rays ended
And now I’m here in the dark room
Staring at the abyss
So mad, trying to be right
So lazy, trying to shake off the dust
Walking aimlessly in the rain trying to become mud
Let me try to be wrong
It doesn’t matter how much I tried to heal, now they’re sick
The courageous ones, now put me down
Search in the light for your soul they say
But I cannot feel this in the obscurity
It seems that I understand something, or maybe not
I understand that the darkness sometimes embraces us
It is time to call the dogs off
Tired of running (hit me in the face once more)
How would I know my destiny?
One day my plans will survive
One day when my mind explodes
Then what you wanted for yourself is now mine
And what you wanted well is now blind
So mad, feel the hate
We still have years to wait
I will prosper in the pile of dirt
Hidden under a new skin
Pretending something that will never be
And nothing will prosper
A kind of vortex, swirling, entropy

Sense of Reality
03:06
|
|||
Fragile and tremulous images
Dance in front of me
Losing grasp of what is real
My mind drifts
Absent
Dejected
I lost the sense of reality
Not able to perceive
A maelstrom of sensations
Coming hard on my head
Consuming
My will to live
I try to grasp salvation
No one can help me
Immersed in chaos
The fear surrounds me
Drowned in the unreal
Hopelessness overcomes me
I cannot breathe at all
I cannot breathe at all
Absent
Dejected
I lost the sense of reality
Unable to reconnect
Spiraling towards the impalpable
Absent
Dejected
I lost the sense of reality
A perpetual fog in my head
Blinding me
Blotted desires
A trail of chemical uselessness
Marks my growing confusion
I long for some peace of mind
Immersed
Drowned

Shattered Mind
03:15
|

We’ve seen this smile
We’ve stolen this smile
But we’ve seen this smile on your face
We see you cry
We’ve heard you weep
But we’ve seen this smile on your face
We’ve seen you grumble
We’ve seen you lament
But we haven’t seen the smile on your face
We don’t see your smile
We don’t see you dancing
We are depriving you of this
Bow down. Beg. Lament this miserable life
Shattered mind. Keep your wan smile
High mind. Panting. Dilated pupils
Keep your head high to show that smile
High mind but only if you can smile
We’ve seen you try
We’ve watched you fail
Some things never change
Bow down. Lament. Keep your head down
Shattered mind to avoid showing the smile
High mind. Head high. Keep it to not smile
High mind and head down
While the flowers fall above the earth
We’ve seen your cry
We’ve heard your lament
The smile on your face was finally stolen

Consumed by Despair
02:20
|
|||
Lost and disconnected
I mark myself in pain to try to feel something
Despair consumes me
Despondent I walk alone among the ruins of my former self
A call from a lifeless void felt deep in the flesh
Dragging
Pushing
Cannot bear it anymore
Wretched and alone
I long for the day when I’ll cease to exist
The angst engulfs me
Unattached
Uncommitted
At one with the abyss
Unattached
Uncommitted
Deep dark abyss
I yearn for a peace
That will never come in life
Craving obliteration
I throw myself in emptiness
Lost and disconnected
Despair consumes me

Fractured
03:10
|
|||
As the sun touches my face
I find myself laying in dirt
Unable to retrace my steps
My head is a vortex
Flashing through my eyes
Memories
As if my life is not my own
Many in one
I lost control
Cannot control
Fractured
I walk ashamed
Not knowing what I’ve caused
Unaware of the pain and misery
My mind is in shambles
Flashing through my eyes
Memories
As if my life is not my own
Many in one
I lost control
Cannot control
Fractured
Inhabited by many
I’m but a mere shell
Used for despicable actions
A vessel for bloodlust
I lack the strength
Can’t do it by myself
An urge that is not my own
Another day goes by
Can’t fight this hidden will
I must stop it
This needs to stop
Flashing through my eyes
Memories
As if my life is not my own
Many in one
I lost control
Cannot control
Fractured

Tainted Soil
03:10
|
|||
Suspended in History
Encased in time
The spectacle is set in its full form
Shaping, engulfing, absorbing.
Denying the conflicts that remains underneath
It presents itself as the path to prosperity
Inverting the meanings of reality
It appears as the only possible form for the humans to live
Sterilizing the minds of those who oppose it
Promoting images of an unreachable freedom
Supported by mindless slaves who endorse it
Its gods swallows millions of souls in a glimpse
It’s a tainted soil
Maintaining the roots that sustains this
It’s a tainted soil
Spoiling the seeds that could change it
It’s a tainted soil
Producing the fruits of human despair
It’s a tainted soil
Condemning new breed to a chaos unpaired
Oriented in misery
Engulfed in pain
The mind narrows to its simplest form
Sterile, dry, frozen

Maze
03:27
|
|||
In this cold chamber
Buried in soundless steel
Surrounded by pale lights
That fail to dissipate
The thick darkness engulfing
Time and space.
Our lungs and mind suffocate
What is this spectacle?
This prison is a stage,
And occult masters mock the cast.
No privacy
No choice
No will truly free
We are an experiment in this illusion
No hope
No rest
No release for me
We are a tool trapped in this place
Powerful alien minds with obscure intents
Imposing a cold and scientific order
Chaotic logic for our petty comprehension
Analyzing pain and despair
Running through mazes
(Flesh exposed)
Every inch pierced
(Draining blood)
Savage beatings
(Broken bones)
Pray to the almighty AI for a quick death
Pray for a glitch that will make us free to rot and die
Eternity has become a curse
Put us out of this misery
No privacy
No choice
No will truly free
We are an experiment in this illusion
No hope
No rest
No release for me
We are a tool trapped in this place
