Sanity

Definition breeds it right beneath the skin.
What was it that brought your mind to ruin?
It's getting harder to breathe again.
From what is born: forever torment.
With the dark, comes the adversary.
Carving out the rest of my sanity.
Screams from the undying night,
Scattered (across the floor).
Silhouettes imitating,
Destructive action.
Silence.
Shrouded forever in lost regret.
I've let this fall on me; consuming every vacancy.
And with her dead eyes, forbear bends perception.
Pleas from the unconscious mind,
Buried (within the walls).
With conviction, desperation;
From her last breath, came direction.
It's getting harder to breathe again.
From what is born: forever torment.
With the dark, comes the adversary,
Carving out the rest of my sanity.
In the dark, he's whispering:
Abandon all your hope.

Blind Alley

I no longer sleep.
I am subject to the void, and I've lost my reason, lost my purpose.
It was only a matter of time before I was corrupted by temptation.
If I reach the end, then where did conviction go? Where did my passion lie?
So forgive me for this, but my hurt runs deep, so let me wallow in my grief.
To have loved the lost, and have lost the loved, take what is left of my body.
In my affliction, my will is weak again,
Yet through my burdens, You took them to the grave.
Push me past my suffering.
Blinded by, I'm blinded by my selfish sadness.
Idle life, can't you see that I am gone and spent.
If I reach the end,
Justify my dissolution.
Reach the end...
If I ever wake,
Up from this,
I would break.
I would,
Break.
Blinded by, I'm blinded by my selfish sadness.
Idle life, can't you see that I am gone and spent.
Reach the end...

Give Over

Where do we go when all is lost?
Never would I call to cast the mold that lays,
Restless hands. Rest your head.
Sever your sickness to secure,
Life.
Face to face with transience we fold,
To the demonstration, to false inclination.
Your breath will only be a whisper.
Only in death will we find the way back home.
Wanderer, have you lost your way?
Retrace the steps, forsake the day.
Detached and released,
And yet our graves plead for peace.
Kneeling for the needs of our greed,
And yet the earth is suffering.
Despite our release,
We forsake suffering.
Caught in a stasis,
Locked into place;
free us of our vanity.
There's no ounce of sincerity,
In the curtain's blank and solemn stare.
So why don't you bring me,
Separation?
Separate the skin from the blood and the bone.
Labyrinth,
Come undone.
Realign,
Forsake the day.
Forsake me.
Where do we go when all is lost?
Never would I call to cast the mold that lays,
Restless hands. Rest your head.
You came to free us and secure,
Life.
Wanderer, have you lost your way?
Retrace the steps, forsake the day.

Overthrow

Exhaust the system, collapse the faulty structure.
We'll bring the comedown to this system of disgrace.
Bring it down.
Corrupt: they rest their heads upon a bed of lies.
Taken by the hand, we let our faith be bought.
Falling for the words of our deceivers,
Will we ever learn, the cost of submission?
We will break away from all the tyranny.
Tear down your idols.
Overthrow.
Go and be, the hope that they need.
Let them see, that this is all that they,
Need to be to live eternally.
In your name.
Set aside the words of the wicked,
And let my grave become a beacon.
Make your eyes accept this new light,
To pierce the guise of darkness.
They are dressed in a coward's fleece, yet bear the names of fallen kings.
Crush them by the weight of our sorrow, and make them see, make it known that we're nothing like the rest of them.
We're nothing like them.
We will fight to take back your name.
Go and be, the hope that they need.
Let them see, that this is all they,
Need to be to live eternally,
In your name, we will overthrow.
Go and be the hope that they need,
We will overthrow.
