Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
how am i today?
To me its all the same.
I've stepped too far away.
Now a man without a name.
A silhouette i felt beside me today,
Spoke to my heart as if to take it away. (Take it away)
"Look to my eyes". it said. "You show no fear".
I said, "the light is lost, my lack of hope is clear".
So sick of just pretending
I'll have that happy ending.
So you can keep your light;
I've never felt alive.
Dont care or ask.
You don't want to know.
Stay back or else
You'll see how far i'll go
You'll see how far i'll go.
How long can i hide
(The devil that's inside?)
My expression is a lie.
I've died one hundred times.
(The plague has spread within.)
Existence is a crime.
I can't.
How am I today?
To me it's all the same.
I've stepped too far away.
Now a man without a name.

Dispossession

There echoes a voice inside of my head.
A burden within
I’ve let it boil beneath my skin.
Well if the truth would spill,
I know the mess would kill.
For when your life is a lie
The pain is too surreal.
Should I
Be so enthralled,
My honesty would be my fall.
I’d drive the knife right through you.
Silent, the night. The light is blind.
So hold the candle between your eyes.
My sight is gone to no surprise.
And in this moment my vision dies.
There was once a ghost in the window
One that only ever spoke my name.
And in my dream, I’d follow
And then find,
This was the shadow of my ambition.
I cannot see my reflection.
I have become the living dead.
I sit with my recollection
And long to feel whole again.
An empty shell split in two.
I am
Hollow
A burden within.
I’ve let boil beneath my skin
I know the mess would kill.
There echoes a voice inside of my head.

Light as a feather on the wing of a devil
I will fly too,
for you,
do you
believe in fantasy?
Bow to the might that turns your dreams to reality.
I see right
Through you
You can’t
Escape depravity.
Our blood is boiling.
You kneel before me.
My only warning,
You can’t escape me.
For when I bite your tongue
So hollow you become.
Light as a feather on the wing of a devil
I will fly too,
for you,
do you
believe in fantasy?
Bow to the might that turns your dreams to reality.
I see right
Through you
You can’t
Escape depravity.
You will be mine.
Witness.
With this,
I will drag you to your grave.
Alluring eyes need no disguise.
In this
Sweet bliss
There is no one who defies.
Your time will come. Thy will be done.
There is nothing you can hide.
There is nothing you can hide.
I am buried in your mind.

Malignant pigmentation,
The blackest devil eyes.
In this advent corruption,
A plague dissolves our light.
I know that everybody has to die
But I already did.
I am asphyxiating;
Buried beneath a grave.
(But I can’t hold it in)
The beast between my bones.
I fall onto my knees
I feel it crawl in me
The aching need to feed
My fucking insanity
My friend,
So desolate, you hunger
May you swallow
Everything that makes me numb.
My friend,
How dare I make you slumber?
You have swallowed
Everything that made me love.
You have made me strong.
(The night is long)
My humanity is gone
My friend,
How dare I make you slumber?
You have swallowed
Everything that made me love.
I am asphyxiating;
Buried beneath a grave
(But I can’t hold it in)
The beast between my bones.
You have made me strong.
(The night is long)
My humanity is gone.

Rising Tides

[This ocean between us]
[Always acts the same;]
There stands a wall of sea
To keep you away from me.
[Rising the tides as we are washed away.]
My darling, until we meet tomorrow,
Flow towards the sun
And you’ll know I follow.
You’ll know I follow.
These currents keep pushing me away.
I drift for you in dismay.
And though
love will never fade,
I’m drowning in these waves.
I’m drowning in these waves.
[This ocean between us]
[Always acts the same;]
There stands a wall of sea
To keep you away from me.
[Rising the tides as we are washed away.]
[The flowing resistance may never be tamed]
[I'm fighting the depths to hear your name]
We find ourselves
longing to be somewhere close.
In my heart, you dwell.
Though my lungs may swell,
I’ll be gasping for just one more breath with you.
