Brand New Face

It Starts With This

Lyrics:

Standing by as I circle the drain
Feeling all the pain that’s inside of me
Slipping down, my descent begins
Where will this end?

Will I learn to separate dreams from what I see in front of my eyes
Or will I fall into this endless abyss
And succumb to it?
Twisting and turning nothing appears as what it seems
Running and falling faster inside of these dreams
When I close my eyes
Night falls like knives

Fade away the day
Delusions become reality
I cannot escape
Take this all away

In this dream I stay within reach of the edge
Fighting to balance my steps
Will the next stride be the last?
Constantly fighting back
Until the night turns into day and I’m finally awake
The dream keeps haunting me throughout the fucking day
Will this ever end?
It never ends

Fade away the day
Delusions become reality
I cannot escape
Take this all away

When will this end?
Paralysis
Setting in

Another night
Another fight
I stand at the fray
Again
This nightmare pulling me back in
Willingly
I let it hook into my skin
Close my eyes
I feel the void that’s deep within
It is time
Give in to it

Gehenna

Lyrics:

A whirlpool
Below, an endless grave
You push
You're pulled under the waves
You pull
In return, a swell to the head
Going down
You sink to the seabed

You're trapped
The current pulls you in
Building pressure
Surrounds your head
Panic takes over
Your time's running out
Davy Jones’ locker
Awaits you now

A last desire
One breath of air
Your mind tries to fight
Control yourself

You’re kicking
As hard as you can
Nothing but resistance
Your legs give in
Exhaustion
Your final friend
You're sinking now
How can this be the end?

A last desire
One breath of air
Your mind tries to fight
Control yourself

Air is running out
Lungs begin to break
Terror sets in
As the light fades
Now you see 
There is nothing left
As you sink down 
To the seabed


One Breath of Air

Lyrics:

My mind is split in two
Fighting between truth and lie
I don’t know what the fuck to do
Am I Jekyll or am I Hyde?

Racing
My mind spinning faster than I can comprehend
Sinking
Going down the rabbit hole again
Fighting
Trying to find resolve until then
Fading
Knowing that this could be the end

Living life in the middle of a blur
Days turn into minutes
Total disregard for people I hurt
Where is the end to this?

Racing
My mind spinning faster than I can comprehend
Sinking
Going down the rabbit hole again
Fighting
Trying to find resolve until then
Fading
Knowing that this could be the end

They all say I’ll be ok
But whose to say I won’t be
The longer I’m awake
Feels longer than I should be

Emotions become toxic
Like poison in my blood
My mind tries to stop it
But it’s hard to stop a flood

Racing
My mind spinning faster than I can comprehend
Sinking
Going down the rabbit hole again
Fighting
Trying to find resolve until then
Fading
Knowing that this could be the end
