PERCEPTION 01:26
2.
SLEEP 03:21
Another week No sleep Caught between Drowning in my dreams And this crushing routine All these Years I watched the seasons fade What difference did it make? In my head, only winter remains I'm trapped in my darkest days Waiting for the sun to rise To Light the path to my escape Like a phoenix reborn from ice But do I really want to fly? Do I really want to leave behind The only constant in my life A heart that feels as cold as ice One day I have to realize The cold consumed me as a whole It feels like cancer in my bones And what I fear the most That it will kill its host Another Week Without sleep I'm sick of being Caught between Another Week Without sleep I'm sick of being Caught between

DECAY 03:09
The blood that runs through my veins Feels like a numbing river of pain As if it has collected all the shame That I've felt throughout my days The shame for destroying myself Whilst pretending to be someone else I created my own living hell Now am nothing more than a hollow shell I am wasting away I embrace my own decay It is nothing more Than a relief to me To me Decay Wasting away Decay Wasting away You say the goal in life is inner peace That's the redemption I seek A goal I will never achieve There will be no redemption for me
4.
WINGS 03:34
I'm broken, I know Just like the streets in front of me Through these cracks, I can see hell waiting below The devil is baring his teeth His breath beneath my wings Is dragging me back to where it always begins The same old path the same demons beside me Take this oath: I follow blindly Running in circles once more So Full of anger and so full of remorse My feet can take it no more But I keep telling myself I haven't been here before Keep telling myself I haven't been here before There's no escape From this suffering From this suffering When I close my eyes I see this hideous visage A grim smile radiating deceit Waiting patiently To bury its teeth I'm broken, I know Just like the streets in front of me Through these cracks, I can see hell waiting below The devil is baring his teeth A never-ending war inside of me Between the knowing of what I want to be And this fuckin' pathetic belief That hell is down beneath my feet And not a place inside of me
5.
MACHINE 04:42
So here I find myself Tired to the fuckin' bone Nightmares haunting me Of what is yet to come I've lost All my trust All my faith All that's left is disgust An all-consuming machine It feasts on sorrow and despair It will devour inner peace A broken world beyond repair Beyond Repair Shattered memories of genuine smiles Obscure visions of serenity and bliss Why do these thoughts feel hostile to me When the fuck have I become like this Why do these thoughts feel hostile to me When the fuck have I become like this How can I proceed? I'm stuck in a maze How can I see? I'm surrounded by haze When I see myself I'm repelled by my face How can I learn? When all wisdom's ablaze I'm drained by excuses For who I want to be I'm done with abuses Of broken ones like me I'm lying awake every night With terrors on my mind Should I just end this life Or take back what was mine?
6.
DEFEAT 04:47
A life in constant fear A slow march towards the end One thing that is certain here We'll all break nothing left to mend A cruel truth, a misery Inescapable defeat Or is it an escape, A remedy Eventual relief Every day it's getting harder to breathe This world just brought me to my knees And everything just fucking seems As if these wounds will never heal This pain is too fucking real I feel empty There's no strength left in me I feel empty And so terribly weak I feel empty There's no strength left in me Do I have to confess my defeat To find inner peace I feel tired Too much sorrow and grief I feel tired Of all the desires to seek I feel tired Too much sorrow and grief Do I have to confess my defeat To find inner peace Life is nothing but the illusion of chance A constant deception in perfect permanence And if the outcome was never in my hands I might at least decide how it all ends I feel tired Too much sorrow and grief I feel tired Of all the desires to seek I feel tired Too much sorrow and grief Do I have to confess my defeat To find inner peace
7.
CHANCES 03:08
All these demons in my head How do I deserve terrors like this? But deep down inside Maybe I don't want to resist Proven by these scars on my wrist Life's not just ignorance and bliss How did I end up with thoughts like this? Just too many chances that I've missed There's this place in my head Without any spark of light And instead of going ahead I just locked myself inside The darkness took my innocence I'm drowning in a pile of sin Would it make a difference If I only ceased to swim
8.
TIDES 03:26
How the fuck did we get this far? Nothing more than a decade of letdowns Inside I am still torn apart But these scars aren't shallow, they're profound I'm done with expectations These thoughts are eating me alive What's the point of conversations When you are fuckin' dead inside Dead Inside You've built a web of your lies You slowly corrupted my mind For all these years, I was blind But there's no soul behind your cold blue eyes You've become everything I despise A spineless fuckin' parasite Every word I ever spoke to you Was just pearls before swine You fuckin' parasite There's nothing left behind But hate for you Rot in hell You fool Rot in hell There's no turning back to the life we once shared I hope that your final words will never be heard Now I wish I could watch you slowly die knowing that you've wasted your life and trust me I would only stand by to sing your final lullaby
9.
LIGHTS 03:11
I see the years passing by That I couldn't fill with life I've been waiting way too long for my time to shine I Followed the blinding lights That led me through the darkest nights I fell for the lie That everything's gonna turn out fine Which way I can't tell the answer The Path Is missing on my painted canvas This world turns black So it does inside my head Still, I'm following the lights that have filled me with regret This world turns black So it does inside my head Was I blinded by the light Or am I already dead Pitch-black Inside my fucking head Pitch-black Inside my fucking head I Followed the blinding lights That led me through the darkest nights I fell for the lie That everything's gonna turn out fine
10.
PRAYERS 04:22
I pray for rain every fucking day That drains this cloud above me Will it wash away the pain? Or will I just be swept away? By a river of despair Desperately gasping for air Buried beneath the waves Wrapped into the chains of my existence A familiar ice-cold embrace The surface in unreachable distance A certain death I have to face There's no need for any further resistance I'm sinking like a stone Like a fuckin' stone The pressure slowly crushes every bone As my body sinks to the ground This world proceeds to spin Consuming every single one That isn't built to swim
