Blinded by the darkness I created 
Now I see the lies that kept me safe

I will not hide this time
I can break the chain
Finally I am waking 
Wounded and weak but sane
Fighting the ease of darkness
Tainting my soul for years
I can be alive again 

Far too long I’ve been enslaved by the demons in my mind 
As the walls are crumbling
I leave my fear behind 

Once a refuge from a world of hatred
Now a prison cell I must escape 

I will not hide this time
I can break the chain
Finally I am waking 
Wounded and weak but sane
Fighting the ease of darkness
Tainting my soul for years
I can be alive again 

Fighting to be free
To leave this world of harmony
Too long I listened to the silence
Untouched by life
Numbed by lies and solitude
Will my bastion turn to dust

I scream in agony
As the walls try to contain me
Restraining my resolve
To walk the path that I once loved
With growing futility
Struggling to break free
My strength has waned 
But my hope will still remain

Never again will I give in
Even when death takes my hand

Fighting to be free
To leave this world of harmony
Too long I listened to the silence
Untouched by life
Numbed by lies and solitude
Now my bastion turns to dust

Seclusion Demos

Hope Remains

Don’t you see there's darkness in the light?
As blood turns dust to mud beneath your feet

Cold as ice but we will stand 
There's nothing to forsake 

All we have will cease to exist 
As the light fades into mist
Forget your prayers 

The storm is here
Shadows moving through the night 
Buried inside silent walls 
Watching your god as he falls 

Long for the bleak bliss of death 
There's nothing left to break 

All we have will cease to exist 
As the light fades into mist
Forget your prayers 

Open your eyes
As all life fades away 

These chains that we call life
Will never last forever
The endless cycle of our torment
Harvest what remains of 
What we have left behind and savor the remnants 
Of our broken souls

Break the chains 
Of this broken life
See life fade away 

All we have will cease to exist
Only darkness will persist
Who hears your prayers
All we have
Kiss your innocence goodbye
It’s time to resist

Cease to exist
With nothing left to save anymore 
See life fade away

Resilience

Silently I observe the world outside
Beyond their reach
I have found my safety
Cold and clear, I have created
Heart of steel keeps me unassailable

There’s no words will sway me
From my utopia
Of silence and illusions
Forever I will stay
Behind these frozen walls
My bastion from it all

I will watch the universe come to an end
Behind these walls, distant from it all
Silently, as I disappear
From this world you call reality
This is where I belong

Inside my refuge from pain and weakness
In isolation I find my sanity

Retreating further back into my mind
Unbound by the rules of nature
As the world moves frantically
I stay in my blissful reverie

I will watch the universe come to an end
Behind these walls, distant from it all
Silently, as I disappear
From this world you call reality
This is where I belong

Belong
Behind frozen walls
Eternally, I will feel no pain again

I stand and stare
At the vastly changing world
And wonder why it always stays the same
Behind these frozen walls
I will always remain
Never to be seen or heard again

I will watch the universe come to an end
Behind these walls, distant from it all
Silently, as I disappear
From this world you call reality

This is where I will watch the universe come to an end
Behind these walls, distant from it all
Finally, as I find myself
Safe in my distorted harmony
This is where I belong

Behind These Frozen Walls

Neonatal Silence

A Distant Voice

My mind wanders often...sometimes into fountains of inspiring splendour...other times into a cardboard image of a brick wall.

I play drums sometimes, I dabble in harsh vocals and I write songs...when my brain bothers to.
