Save me

I see a man
In the mirror
But it is not me
That is not my face
I see a demon
Staring back at me

Those glowing eyes
To my surprise 
They drain my soul 
From deep within my skin

Now I watch the skies
Wade through the lies
Ignore the cries
Not even able to save myself

Save me

Where did these walls come from
How did I end up in such a place
My world shrunk down to a cube
Cant let the story end right here

I've failed myself
I've failed my family
This life was taken from me
Maybe there is something
Wrong with me

A double take reveals the 
demon inside me
I'm killing myself

Save me

Pushed to the side
Patiently wait for your time
Used and abused is the name of this ride
Not gonna stop til the day that you die
It's alright, that is life
Enjoy your time and dont ever think twice

We're all just slaves
Stuck in the cycle that we cant break
The stakes have been raised
Engage the machine before it's too late

Challenge presented and the cycle has started 
Desires met, utilities discarded

Every favor wears away at the best of us
At least I can speak for myself
My patience is worn, my trust has been torn
I'm slowly dying from the inside

Why
Why try anymore
My heart is bitter
I have become an object of scorn 

From day to day the beatings come in all ways
A mental breakdown is just on the brink
Cant seem to remedy complications at be
Lean on me? You may end up rock bottom with me

Challenge presented and the cycle has started 
Desires met, utilities discarded

Every favor wears away at the best of us
At least I can speak for myself
My patience is worn, my trust has been torn
I'm slowly dying from the inside

Catch 22

The answer... just staring me in the face
Why cant I seem-do to comprehend
Everything... just seems so familiar
Why cant I make-do a connection

Your words dont matter anymore
All I see is red

Where is the key
No man is an island
But one must strive
For fire from stone

Where is the key
Where is the key

You can lead the horse to water
But you cant make him drink
You can show him the answer
Its my mind you cannot sway

Luck comes to those who sweat for it
Luck comes to those who work for it

Dont be so sure of yourself
Many hands make light work
Sometimes life bends you over
In every life there will be rain

Where is the key
No man is an island
But one must strive
For fire from stone

Where is the key
Where is the key

What Key

Run and take everything you can
Stay light, but don't forget necessity
This cannot be

Stuck in this moment as if time has ceased

We’ve gathered here today to spill the blood
This lot has convened to spread the disease
Stop at the Z
There is no stopping the machine

Hide, and stay silent all the time
Sleep tight... One false move and your end is in sight
Don't walk into the light

This hell is dark, black like the sky in the night
It’s all just flesh and teeth now
The world was just too big for itself
This plague was long overdue
The mindless rule, much like when things were normal
But with much less blood,
and with much less brains
God needed to reset humanity

We’ve gathered here today to spill the blood
This lot has convened to spread the disease
Stop at the Z
There is no stopping the machine

Stop At The Z

cognitiveappraisal.bandcamp.com/track/insane

The hands of insanity border the edge of my skull
Acid rain falls from the sky in tears of rage

I run this ship, I'm in control
At least that's what I'm lead to believe
My head is fine. Although a tad eccentric

There is a presence
that orchestrates the depths of my mind
Its clawed its way out

Step out of the shadows
Show your face to the world
Please bring me peace
Exploit me, my friend

Time we abandon ship
just give in and let go of it
I may seem alright
I've lost control but I have faith

There is a presence
Concealed in the of my mind
It will find its way out

It has arrived with a deadly nature
I yield possession, I surrender

Sanity is madness put to good use
It's all I'll ever be
Fractured Cognition
Recognition is lost

It's hard to understand what it means to actually be free
Never in your life have you truly been free
But not me
I have my sanity

Insanity
Show your face to the world
Please bring me peace
Exploit me, my friend
Step out of the shadows

Insane

Here comes the end
We've made it yet

Each path to the end, unique
Each move susceptible to critique
Cram in the wisdom Hoard all the knowledge
Some writhe in the road, Oblivious!!!

Self consumed we remain
Hardwired to look out for number one
The givers are the heroes
Their being defies all instinct

Go

I've had a taste of pain, incomparable 
I see how the others suffer, unbearable 
I see the world for what it is, I see people for who they are
I wonder how we got this way

This journey presents its opportunity
And watches as we struggle
It laughs at our mistakes 
And to some this will humble
Then the end comes 
In one form or another
What's behind that door
What lies beneath this floor

My heart is racing as I hustle the system
The end is sure to come
This path has gone off the road
Forced with self absorbed intentions
The end is to come

Go

Each path to the end, unique
Each move susceptible to critique
Cram in the wisdom, Hoard all the knowledge
Some writhe in the road, Oblivious!!!


Self consumed we remain
Hardwired to look out for number one
The givers are the heroes

Self consumed we remain
Hardwired to look out for number one
The givers are the heroes
Their being defies all instinct

Breath
Breath
Just breath

Meander

I want my innocence back

Keep it simple to penetrate that thick skull
Straight through the head with the point
It's just in one ear and right out the other
Dense minded through and through

Demolishing bridges, unaware
Killing the connection without a care
Karma's a bitch. That ghost wont stop
Get what you want now, but at what cost

The bliss of ignorance is temporary
You're stationary in a world that is changing
One must Keep fighting and grinding
Don't fall behind or it's the end that you'll find

The one starts the war only aiming to finish
The other fights praying to die in the process
motivations unsure of which category
I'll fall into place according to fate

Demolishing bridges, unaware
Killing the connection without a care
Karma's a bitch. That ghost wont stop
Get what you want now, but at what cost
Take me off this god forsaken place
Safe to say that we have lost this race
I'm not one to throw in the towel
But this exception can be justified

Parasites of the planet
Assets of the apocalypse
We've brought this wrath upon ourselves 
Unaware of despair yet to come
Essentials of the end
Artifacts of armageddon
We've brought this rage upon ourselves 
Unaware of the final outcome

Demolishing bridges, unaware
Killing the connection without a care
Karma's a bitch. That ghost wont stop
Get what you want now, but at what cost

Primal

It's fun to make music. Most of mine is a joke.
