My eyes held the answers, but you cannot see, how to become what you should be

Split down the middle, you severed the ties, we never got your last goodbye
You were searching for answers between the cuts

Pressured the hinges so you could learn
A sharp spine is all I yearned
Why can't you become the one I am
Why do you refuse to understand

Blinded by harmony, the complacency is hurting me, a destructive path by apathy

I just want to smile again, but stoicism you pretend, an imposter insde of me

of his life, I'll gladly bereave

My eyes held the answers, but you cannot see, how to become what you should be

Pressured  the hinges so you could learn
A sharp spine is all I yearn
Why can't you become the one I am
Why do you refuse to understand

Blinded by harmony, the complacency is hurting me, a destructive path by apathy

The Eyes That Held Answers v1

Hopeful, yet frantic

Reflections brought answers, but not who I am
The need to take life, I won't/want to understand

Your open mouth, the fetid old thief
I'm craving for your life to end, a sweet release

You pressure my hinges, you cast the first stone
Preying on the sullen, breaking their hands, fracturing bones (so you can begin)

Subjugate the mind of man, violent rage
Beckoning, questions left unanswered
Why do I have to end, so you can begin
Why do I have to end, so you can begin

Reflections brought answers, but not who I am
The need to take life, I won't/want to understand

The Need To Take Life Pt2

As I Float Downstream

First set of vocals
My Words in the wind, but where to begin
Imagination, out of control, I have no on to trust, none to console
Staring out in the cold, Am I whole?

These Landscapes I know, oh a sudden change, Distortion fills my vision from the rain
Outside from a view, a prison deformed
Faces asking me what's wrong
Why don't you see
Why don't you believe
Why don't you belong

Comparative desire, same old topics I tire
Why refer to substances, to feel of use

My Words in the wind, but where to begin
Words in the wind, where to begin
Imagination, out of control
Words in the wind, where to begin
Imagination, out of control
(No one to trust, no one to console)

My words in the wind, but where to begin
Imagination, out of control
out of control
out of control
out of control
I don't belong

I Don't Belong

Tendrils grip tightly, the weight applied
The lie, the injustice, this pressure defined

Drowning in mud, just wished for air
To breathe life in a world, where no one cares

Distant laughter, the boot on the neck
Silently screaming to voice your request
Denying life not your path
Where does hope breathe at last
Echoing statement
No one cares

Drowning in mud, just wished for air
To breathe life in a world, where no one cares


Drowning in mud, just wished for air
To breathe life in a world, where no one cares

Deeper, Deeper(Echoing statement)
Your face dissapears(no one cares)
Drowning, asphyxia(no one cares)
Begging for air

Deeper, Deeper(echoing statement)
Your face dissapears(no one cares)
Drowning, asphyxia(no one cares)
Begging for air

Pressure

Your time has come
To devour the souls of Thousands
This is the end
An annihilation
A travesty, a coming apocalypse
Proud specimens on their way to Perdition

Lured in with visions
Of Grandeur, eternally
To reign, this pain to endure
To harness their ruin
A succulent feast
Till none bu dead husks remain
Hollow eyes conveying command

Eyes induced madness
Hearing the cries of sadness
Embracing wickedness

Conjure the Monstrosity
To be conjoined for eternity
Devoured souls to heed
The call of eternal greed

Conjure the Monstrosity

Your time has come
To devour the souls of Thousands
This is the end
An annihilation
A travesty, a coming apocalypse
Proud specimens on their way to Perdition

Devouring The Souls Of Thousands

How dreams die and regret remains haunting oneself.

Fractured memories
Remnants of dreams
No closure given
Not even considered
Shoved under the rug
You're too much
Just longed for
The tranquil touch

Feelings of being
Stalked, their visage
Spreading pain
A cruel reminder
Of what remains

Feelings of being(Hollow)
Feelings of being(Eyes)
Feelings of being(Connect with)
Of what remains(Mine)

Hollow eyes connect with mine(Fractured memories)
Trying to rewrite time(Remnants of dreams)
Hollow eyes connect with mine(No closure given)
Trying to rewrite time(Not even considered)

Fractured Memories

Rage v3

Dreams v3

The one who's left behind to pick up the pieces
Lyrics;
Early morning breath
I gave myself over

You're all that's left
My hope faded
Your four-leaf clover
Do not grieve
All my eyes did relieve
Of pain
To decieve
In me

Pieces I carry
To rebuild the thing I needed
Dreaming of rain
Left me weary

Could it be true
This world
Cold and blue

My final words
An oath to you
Hope turned to sorrow
No tomorrow

Pieces I carry
To rebuild the thing I needed
Dreaming of rain
Left me weary
Should it be true
This world
Cold and blue

My final words
An oath to you
Hope turned to sorrow
No tomorrow

Fractured Memories
