All my wounds received have ceased to bleed for you I've come too far to just hand myself to you This mistaken, obsession won't hold me down I've awakened, this aching feeling deep down I'm not a subtle feeling left to rot inside You don't want my rivalry You'll never win this fight I will not be subdued, I'm not the same as you You've killed so many yet you've helped so few I'll never be like you All these doubts of mine will try to hold me down Your unrelentless hits have kept me to the ground You're resentful, ungrateful and pushing me too far You're so boastful yet you wonder how I've come this far I'm not a subtle feeling left to rot inside You don't want my rivalry You'll never win this fight I will not be subdued, I'm not the same as you You've killed so many yet you've helped so few I'll never be like you You will see the end I will make you bleed I will be, everything you weren't I will prevail I will not be subdued, I'm not the same as you You've killed so many yet you've helped so few I'll never be like you I will not be subdued, I'm not the same as you You've killed so many yet you've helped so few I'll never be like you

This involuntary urge continues to grab me by the throat The thought of what could happen, fails to give me hope The hallucinary visions, block what I have within There's nothing left but darkness, releasing all of my sin Separate from all this hate My soul was never yours to take This is our final encounter Keep your shame and seal your fate I'm done with your sadistic game This is our final encounter Break free, from this torment Don't saturate in it Release the oppression That you hold within Restrain, this life of yours And take control Remain amidst the storm And take what's yours This everlasting fight between us ends right here Your silence has become the thing I hold most dear My sinister side has been the, only way I can turn But now, I walk away, I will not burn Separate from all this hate My soul was never yours to take This is our final encounter Keep your shame and seal your fate I'm done with your sadistic game This is our final encounter Break free, from this torment Don't saturate in it Release the oppression That you hold within Restrain, this life of yours And take control Remain amidst the storm And take what's yours We stand, amidst the storm Break free, from this torment Don't saturate in it Release the oppression That you hold within Restrain, this life of yours And take control Remain amidst the storm And take what's yours

Judgment 05:33
Helpless It's become too hard to control my fate The walls that are closing in Are too much too bare Breathless I've gone one place, I can never come back The ones that I'm leaving Give my last breath of fresh air Angels, save me My life is empty I've been taken without a purpose You never told me why I'm here I'll be slain, but never broken I'll defy you ‘till the very end I'm falling into A hole that I have dug myself I'm certain, take me I tried my very best Unrest Bring me to the forest, to unleash my soul Their branches bind me To grant my torment Possessed Wake the ones who will share my sentence I will not return But I will awaken Devils, embrace me Brethren erase me I've been taken without a purpose You never told me why I'm here I'll be slain, but never broken I'll defy you ‘till the very end I'm falling into A hole that I have dug myself I'm certain, take me I tried my very best I tried my very best Children replace me Fires consume me Ashes forsake me Remember me I've been taken without a purpose You never told me why I'm here I'll be slain, but never broken I'll defy you ‘till the very end I'm falling into A hole that I have dug myself I'm certain, take me I tried my very best

Nothing Left 06:15
Your shadow's cast before my eyes Long before I learn to see Tattered memrants of the past Will you take that much from me See you, calling Such a pain I seem to need The truth, unseen I will die before I bleed Save me, I'm defenseless I beg, for your mercy Get me out of here Retreat, you've met your end I plead, just forget me I will not avenge So long I have wondered Are you worth the pain you bring? Wherever you slumber I hope you're happier than me Forever I have tried and cannot let go But there is nothing left to keep Whatever I deny cannot stop the truth Now there is nothing left to feel Your troubled past seems now at rest Emptiness I cannot fill Relinquishing what I once knew I cannot love what is not real See me, failing Such a pain I seem to need You cry, I scream I will die before I bleed Save me, I'm defenseless I beg, for your mercy Get me out of here Retreat, you've met your end I plead, just forget me I will not avenge So long I have wondered Are you worth the pain you bring? Wherever you slumber I hope you're happier than me Forever I have tried and cannot let go But there is nothing left to keep Whatever I deny cannot stop the truth Now there is nothing left to feel

Say Goodbye 06:54
You've gone to the place that they call home I cannot follow They took you away and left me here alone With all my sorrows My pulse quickens as yours stays idle I won’t say it, I won’t say it now My heart sickens as yours beats no more I won’t say it, I won’t say In this life we will meet again I will find a way from this end I will not falter now I'll bring you back to me The tide will turn you'll see You've come to far to bleed I won't let you leave me Your eyes fade, your life leaves you behind The sound of the blade stays in my mind You left me and this world so fast I must stay strong I must believe that we will last You won't be gone long My fist tightens as yours stays limp I won’t say it, I won’t say it now My head raises as I take a breath in I won’t say it, I won’t say In this life we will meet again I will find a way from this end I will not falter now I'll bring you back to me The tide will turn you'll see You've come to far to bleed I won't let you leave me Your eyes fade, your life leaves you behind The sound of the blade stays in my mind I will not falter now I'll never let you go I will bring back what is mine I will scream and I'll shout I will make you hear me Now please come back to me You've become nothing but a dream Aching This life will never have meaning Take me This fire slowly cools to coal Fading I'll see you on the other shore Waiting I will not falter now I'll bring you back to me The tide will turn you'll see You've come to far to bleed I won't let you leave me Your eyes fade, your life leaves you behind The sound of the blade stays in my mind

Disguise 03:59
Your eyes, your face The mask of your insecurity You find the pain That seems to be increasing in me I can't believe What you became after all of this You stand unclean From the souls that you had chose to cleanse I cannot breathe, I cannot feel I cannot love without you What did I see? This can't be real You knew it would end soon The shameful acts that you had run away from I can't remove your disguise The mask remains You're still the same Your pride has only increased in time Surreal, unchanged Your cries have stopped controlling my mind I can't believe What you became after all of this You stand unclean From the souls that you had chose to cleanse With all the lies, you gave to me I cannot forget them I can't decide on what I see I cannot forget you The shameful acts that you had run away from I can't remove your disguise The mask remains The pain is rising My path is closing Don't ever come back here Unchanged horizons Are lacking motion Don't ever come back here I've come to doubt your simple truths I can't forgive what you did I cry out loud for what to do The trust failed on my end The shameful acts that you had run away from I can't remove your disguise The mask remains The snideful cries that you manipulated I can't remove your disguise It became you

Epitaph 01:06
My heart Is nothing more than an annoyance This thing Reminding me that I'm no better than any one of you I'm not ashamed Just annoyed Maybe a little angry I hate it It's not me What makes it wanna tell me how to feel? How to be? How to love? I shouldn't hurt I'm better than this Better than you Better than all of you I'm so sick of this fucking parasite, beating away at me Reminding it's there Taunting me Mocking me I'm done with all of this No more will I let it do this to me So this is my note to you Whoever you are I won this fight
9.
My callous soul won't undergo Anymore of this Unpleasant knives have pierced the eyes Of the momentary bliss My suffering Is all but empty space to me No empathy Can fill this hopeless void I'll take away this sad forsaken life of mine Blood flowing across the open floor Feel no pain from the open wounds Numbness from the disease within Just suffer this sacrifice, and stay Bathing in nightmares Wallowing in grief Consuming the evil Which has hold of me A pit-less hole once was a heart Stopped beating long ago A searing stab of my own cries Had left for all to know My dignity Is all but a sad memory No sympathy Can calm this raging storm I'll steal away this beating heart to fill this growing hunger The deeper you breathe the deeper the cut Stare into the abyss and fall in darkness Watch the walls around you melt away Your world is twisted and demented You're nothing Bathing in nightmares Wallowing in grief Consuming the evil Which has hold of me I will not stay the hand that's become my demise Tell me one good reason Why I belong No room to love no room to spare For my heart is long gone I see no more colors The world's a haze Now I welcome the darkness Set me ablaze Bathing in nightmares Wallowing in grief Consuming the evil Which has hold of me
10.
Buried Alive 04:45
Sympathy I don't deserve it anymore, from anyone Officially I have betrayed myself again, and lost all of my Dignity The man inside my skin has left me here to die In agony And viciously He's left my body limp and pale for all to see But I'll show you there's still life in me Because I let him leave with you Donated all my happiness Now, just a corpse remains I can't follow Oh, I'm stuck too far in the past I've wasted all my life away Now, I've left myself with nothing Vividly Your face is still burning in my eyes, and ever so Fluidly The smoke goes down my throat and turns to stone I'm not breathing now Hostility Is all you've ever shown You'll never prove To people unlike you And I'll never sleep as long as you're still out there I'm still waiting to hear that you're gone Because I let him leave with you Donated all my happiness Now, just a corpse remains I can't follow Oh, I'm stuck too far in the past I've wasted all my life away Now, I've left myself with nothing Because I let him leave with you Donated all my happiness Now, just a corpse remains I can't follow Oh, I'm stuck too far in the past I've wasted all my life away Now, I've left myself with nothing

You think I want this? You think this was my plan? I never thought this day would come You think you'll be missed? That you've made an impact? It seems this day has finally come I must remove these ties From which I called my own I will destroy this hopeless bond I must erase this fight From deep inside my soul I'll vanquish this forsaken war I've been cursed by this eternal torture You've left me no place to hide I've been trapped, in the one place I had left The pain will never subside You think you've won this? That you can stand up tall? I never thought this day would come You're so sadistic I vow I'll watch you fall I promise you the day will come I must remove these ties From which I called my own I will destroy this hopeless bond I must erase this fight From deep inside my soul I'll vanquish this forsaken war I've been cursed by this eternal torture You've left me no place to hide I've been trapped, in the one place I had left The pain will never subside I've been breached by this horrific nightmare I must run from your disease You will, no longer have control No longer ruled by deceit This realization, this deprivation I can't believe what I've seen This decimation, hallucination It's time for me to be free I'm shouting out from my cage They'll never find me I'm stuck down here with my rage They'll never find me I've been cursed by this eternal torture You've left me no place to hide I've been trapped, in the one place I had left The pain will never subside I've been breached by this horrific nightmare I must run from your disease You will no longer have control No longer ruled by deceit

Voices 04:27
I can hear them in my head I can hear them in my head How many times must I confess That I'm worth more than this My body may be laid to rest But I will go down fighting Your wishes, will never bind me This crevice, will stay between us I will remain superior I am the one that’s in control I will remain inferior I will never let you claim my soul The voices’ will has grabbed me By the throat My screams are muffled by this Veil of smoke I hear the voice of my tormentor Calling out to me But since I am still breathing There's still fight in me There's so many ways that I resent The very likes of you You'll never use my life in vain This fire's slowly raging Your wisdom, will not complete me This wall remains within me I will remain superior I am the one that’s in control I will remain inferior I will never let you claim my soul The voices’ will has grabbed me By the throat My screams are muffled by this Veil of smoke I hear the voice of my tormentor Calling out to me But since I am still breathing There's still fight in me I have seen just how twisted you are I'll never be, the one that wears your scars I have seen just how twisted you are I'll never be, the one that wears your scars I'll never wear your scars

Flip it, see what happens Don't try and push your luck Don't take your life for granted Take control Listen, carefully Don't fall into submission Take back what was always yours And take control Haunted by your existence You can't halt my resistance I've unleashed all my inner demons These two sides of one will be the end of us We can't keep fighting for what was never ours These two sides of one can't control us both We can't keep trying to succeed when we've already lost Release, your grip And all of your ambitions They'll never let you succeed You must take control Resent, their side’s Obsessive madness They'll never stop till they bleed You must take control Haunted by your existence You can't halt my resistance I've unleashed all my inner demons These two sides of one will be the end of us We can't keep fighting for what was never ours These two sides of one can't control us both We can't keep trying to succeed when we've already lost When we’ve already lost These two sides of one will be the end of us We can't keep fighting for what was never ours These two sides of one can't control us both We can't keep trying to succeed when we've already lost These two sides of one will be the end of us We can't keep fighting for what was never ours These two sides of one can't control us both We can't keep trying to succeed when we've already lost

This life of ours Has become frail, and broken in two These aching cries of mine have made No effect on you Why must this be so fucking hard? I can't go on My once ambitious dreams collapse And dissipate I've been everything that you're not These times have changed You can, never hide from This burning rage I'll make sure that I watch you rot And fade away This is where I've had enough Leave with your shame So take one last breath, it's the only way To heal what you've destroyed, we must separate Releasing all of my atrophy, putridity Wasting the last of my dignity This fight has come Too close, to ending you and I This artificial life of mine Won't be sacrificed I've had it with your fucking games They end right here My once flourishing life falls Before my very own eyes I've been everything that you're not These times have changed You can never hide from This burning rage I'll make sure that I watch you rot And fade away This is where I've had enough Leave with your shame So take one last breath, it's the only way To heal what you've destroyed, we must separate Releasing all of my atrophy, putridity Wasting the last of my dignity I gave up everything for you I sacrificed it all The shame I lay before you Let it be your fall I've gone long enough with you at my side Calling me yours It's time I cut this bond End this fight And take control So take one last breath, it's the only way To heal what you've destroyed, we must separate Releasing all of my atrophy, putridity Wasting the last of my dignity Dignity
