Dead Inside
03:27
|
|||
The lies we claim,
To keep us from going insane.
The times we bury the shame,
So all we can do is save face
We're all broken inside,
Cold and alone; we're no longer alive.
Dead inside (I can no longer hide.)
Dead inside (Drowning in the rising tide.)
Dead inside (Nothing left for me here.)
Dead inside (This life is my worst fear.)
The mask we wear,
Is now our cross to bear.
Our lives, defiled and stained...
This shell is all that remains.
We're all broken inside,
Cold and alone; we're no longer alive.
Dead inside (I can no longer hide.)
Dead inside (Drowning in the rising tide.)
Dead inside (Nothing left for me here.)
Dead inside (This life is my worst fear.)
All that remains.

Death Cult
04:04
|
|||
Buried beneath a wave of disbelief...
...the betrayal of mankind, as the world crumbles at your feet.
Your deeply twisted mind, your allegiance to you kind...
Tribalistic, narcissistic, hatred-infused lies.
I can't believe this level of insanity
As we all beg and plead for the truths you refuse to see.
Now all our lives come crashing down.
No one fucking knows how we got this far;
A cult of destruction is all you fucking are.
You enjoy the suffering; you wanna watch the whole world bleed...
...all so you can conquer, and be the king of misery.
I can't believe this level of insanity
As we all beg and plead for the truths you refuse to see.
Now all our lives come crashing down.
As reality crumbles under your assault,
You morph into nothing but a morbid death cult.
You're all nothing but a morbid death cult.

This Is the End
04:56
|
|||
I've tried with every fiber of my being
To break free, and break through to these dreams.
I've lost, somewhere along the way
And now there's nothing left but a shell of what's been torn away.
I know there's nothing here for me.
But I'm a glutton for punishment, and I deserve to bleed.
So I'll stay here and struggle to the end;
And fight until the edges of my reality begin to bend.
Reality begins to bend; is this the way that it all ends?
This is the end.
Everything we do echoes through eternity;
Everything I've done cements a legacy.
But what does it mean when all hope is lost,
And we've strayed from the path that leads to victory?
When sheer will breaks down, exhaustion takes hold
Fear overtakes the mind as the struggled unfold.
But I'll stay here and struggle to the end...
And fight until the edges of my reality begin to bend.
Reality begins to bend; is this the way that it all ends?
This is the end.

Burn It Down
03:46
|
|||
I won't bend until this whole world breaks;
I won't give in to this insanity.
I won't believe in all your convoluted lies;
I won't give up when all hope has died.
I won't give in.
I won't bow down to all your sins.
I will break these chains;
You are all the same.
The torment, the struggle, that we all endure
Comes from the lies with which we've been lured
But I see through the facade and all your fucking games
I won't be swayed by all your bullshit claims.
I won't give in.
I won't bow down to all your sins.
I will break these chains;
You are all the same.
All the years we've spent,
All the tears we've shed...
All the things we hate...
This is the price we pay.
All of the memories lost,
This is the final cost...
How do we face these fears?
Where do we go from here?
All I know is hate.
All I can do is blame.
I feel so alone;
This house is not my home.
How do we find our way
Back to a better day?
Nothing matters anyway;
I just want to burn it down.
I will break these chains;
You are all the same.

Speak Their Names
04:05
|
|||
Everything we've lost, and all this endless pain
How can you believe in something so insane?
Disarray at every turn, as we watch the whole world burn...
Your tribalistic fucking trope slowly kills all sense of hope
You're all fucking insane.
You're all to blame.
For all those we've lost....I dare you to speak their names.
The neverending cost of your ignorance and your greed...
How can you ignore the cries of those who bleed?
Chaos thrives at every turn; when the fuck will you ever learn?
Defend a lie, for which you'll die...while we all burn in this fucking fight.
You're all fucking insane.
You're all to blame.
For all those we've lost....I dare you to speak their names.

Broken
03:47
|
|||
The memories of everything that haunts my fragile mind...
As I wallow in this misery, a part of me slowly dies.
I can't change, I can't erase, and I can't turn back the time...
Now I sit here all alone...as the world passes me by.
All I am is a broken man....god damn.
I can't escape (and you know)
I'm the one to blame (and I know)
I try to find a way (but I just)
Drown in all the rain inside my mind.
All the conflict, all the strife
The broken hearts and a fucked up life
I wish that I could drift and die,
As I watch the whole world pass me by.
All I am is a broken man....god damn.
I can't escape (and you know)
I'm the one to blame (and I know)
I try to find a way (but I just)
Drown in all the rain inside my mind.

Not My Kind
03:59
|
|||
I wish I could be naive to your existence.
I wish I could be oblivious to it all.
I wish I could be ignorant of your lies.
I wish I could simply close your fucking eyes.
I wish I could end your fucking story forever.
You may know my name, but we are not the same.
You don't speak for me; I'd rather watch you bleed.
I wish I knew how to erase this from my life.
I wish I knew how to obliterate your mind.
I wish you knew how I hate this waste of time.
I wish you knew at last....you're not my fucking kind.
I wish I could end your fucking story forever.
You may know my name, but we are not the same.
You don't speak for me; I'd rather watch you bleed.
You are not my fucking kind.

Fade
05:02
|
|||
Break these chains...I hear you calling my name.
Break these chains...I want to drift and fade away.
This life has beaten and broken my soul;
I've lost the will to carry on in this world.
I dream of the past, and all that could have been....
I'm trapped in a delusion and a war I cann't win.
I cannot win; trapped by my sins.
I can't break these chains; I hear you calling my name.
Trapped in these thoughts;
Buried in their prison, as my soul's been left to rot.
Trapped in these thoughts;
Buried in this nightmare of all the things that I've lost.
This time has abused my will to survive;
This path I've walked has barely kept me alive.
I reminisce of the past, and all the things I could have changed;
But then I wake up...and everything's the fucking same.
I cannot win; trapped by my sins.
I can't break these chains; I hear you calling my name.
Break these chains...I hear you calling my name.
Break these chains...I want to drift and fade away.
