Strive 04:13
I only felt the cold that day But I still said ‘come whatever may’ For I knew in my heart What they see with their eyes Through their eyes Nothing is real Pull the black over their eyes Tell them everything will be alright My thoughts pulled through the back of my skull You know we’re all dead We inherit the struggle, though our courage will never die Those who’ve passed before us, they belong to us, they belong to me Fighting regression, but never victorious They belong to us, they belong to me. A vision of death playing over and over in my head It was meant to be Consumed by this cancer, we can’t continue As soon as I vanquish this terror I’m hindered by the rot inside my bones Self-preservation deterioration, the way it’s meant to be. Beneath the archive, we fester as worms Decaying into time, complacent of our infection We strive for life, but only in death But its already too late, all consumed Flailing at the fabric of time I wish for closure, for comfort But it schisms apart upon this breaking dawn I can’t go on and it’s worth nothing without you We strive for life, but only in death But its already too late, all consumed

Defy Dismay 04:12
We live in a world, that we’ve sentenced to death Our own destructive forces only feed its contempt Suffocated under the weight of regret If only such emotion could turn it back We have a chance, until the rot sets in We must defy dismay that we feel within Though the scars, are only skin deep To save this world we must abandon all our beliefs It’s like we’re running with our skin pulled back It’s like we’re running ‘till the night turns black There is nothing There is nothing left Subvert our false idols Drown them in the seas on ignorance When will you leave this broken relief There is nothing left We live in a world, that we’ve sentenced to death Our own destructive forces only feed its contempt Suffocated under the weight of regret If only such emotion could turn it back Subvert our false idols Drown them in the seas on ignorance Feed them to the hunger Which festers in their streets

Survive 03:17
Living through these endless days Struggling to feel safe Living through these endless days I must keep myself safe A space in my chest, is all that I can feel The cogs worn down, the bearings disregarded I will find a way to survive We must all find a way to survive Please just give me a second to breathe This can’t go on forever I feel alive It goes on and on These thoughts revolving Tables turning Waiting for the sun These dams must break These clouds must crack Before I hit the ground Because times have gone dark and I find it hard to cope Just hold out your hand, I think I’m falling down this slope A space in my chest is all that I can feel, The cogs worn down, The bearings disregarded I would toil through the night to give life to the sun, To keep my head in this fight, I’ll work my hands to the bone

Monolith 03:25
Around this world spins Running from our own sins Decadence Ignorance Only time will show the mistakes we have made Day by day we stand witness to the demise of a world so lifeless Abused and neglected Oh corruption has infected How I long for a day when I could bring myself to care A cancer on humanity for which there’s no cure Obliteration Suffocation Of all existence Token hatred blinds us all Is this the day we all finally fall? A pain you will never know Afloat from reality This world we call home Decaying unto hell My son; I confess Creator; I atone Mother nature - I mourn Roots torn from our lands Pride gone from our hearts Our world, with a darkness stain Oh how we’ve fallen from grace Open your eyes and witness destruction Open your ears and hear our plea “Is this the way this world was really meant to be?”

Closure 04:11
Fractured figures across the glass of my eyes ; a disfigured reflection Falling back to the void of depression so far from the light the outlines; all that remain We intertwine as we dance this dance with death I’ll never be myself again Reverberating back and forth through my head - I hear your name Trying to bridge the gaps between these holes in my chest - I just can’t pull through I cared for you even more than I hate myself, but still I’m condemned to rot We intertwine as we dance this dance with death I’ll never be myself again Lost in my own mind Reverberating through my head - I hear your name I call in the night I pray to the black I hear your name over and over again I just can’t control myself anymore I can’t feel - I can’t feel I am but a stranger in my own skin I am just a construct of self-loathing As my strength fails me, I’ll fight for your place in the final chapter but there’s nothing left for me
