Infectious is the thought, which lies beyond these eyes Strong is the weakest link, listen to it This is how wars are won, abstract battlegrounds Target, conquer your identity Deception reigns, within this shrine Guard the lies inside Truth, it blinds The ear that fails to speak So shatter all the ties that bind Staggered is the mind that holds them back In your skull it crawls, let it out Minds clash in a battlefield of ideas out in the ether Attack mine I'll break yours, tear it apart Sanction the losers, nobody wins in the end False truth, true flaws And I never thought I would be the one to judge Reasons I had are mine to keep Remedy for a broken mind, smashed into a thousand pieces Whole greater than the sum of parts So shatter all the ties that bind Staggered is the mind that holds them back In your skull it crawls, let it out Minds clash in a battlefield of ideas out in the ether Attack mine I'll break yours, tear it apart Sanction the losers, nobody wins in the end

Breathe me in again I've been here before Within this dream Am I the dreamer? I never thought I could see this through alone I now know that I was right I never took this life as my own But this spite sets the dark alight Captivated by the eyes of a reflection Never thought I could see myself Staring back at me Raise me up through this Colossal tower of failures Only to fall again Harder down this time Through catastrophe We ride to oblivion As the stories call my name And I pass them one by one Every moment one foot closer to the sidewalk We treat the symptoms not the cause Captivated by the eyes of a reflection Never thought I could see myself Staring back at me

Catharsis 03:09
So break me down but let me go Only I know the evil I am So much rage deep inside This cage was built for me not them So break me down and shatter me Only you can set this hollow free In halls of pain, trophies of shame Let the pouring rain wash the blood away The empty void grows into a supermassive blackhole Devouring sense of identity, insanity left behind Shades we are, alone in the crowd As all people Like ashes in the wind, blow away all the memories of Who we are The empty void grows into a supermassive blackhole Devouring sense of identity, insanity left behind

Subsistence 03:32
When your spirit is crushed Where there's no one left to follow To find hope within despair Rejoice through the sorrow You were never meant to be the one You could never solve anything at all Find solace in your powerlessness Liberation in subsistence All those who walk the Earth Strive to survive Beware your instance of life Too tiny for time to care Don't you wish you could Just disappear into the distance? Don't you wish for a way To escape the pain of existence? You were never meant to be the best Unachievable dreams laid to rest Find solace in your powerlessness Liberation in subsistence All those who walk the Earth Strive to survive Beware your instance of life Too tiny for time to care

Chrysalis 03:27
From under the surgeon's knife Out comes through the other side Am I beautiful now? Does this suffice? Purple and black In lieu of the spine I lack My face, replaced Identity given away To appeal to the crowd Am I beautiful now? Does this suffice? Make me a beautiful body One they adore like nobody else Don't take your eyes off me I am the starving star Special deal, two for one Do your nose, cheeks for free Take all my money I just want to be beautiful too Never wanted to be myself So I chose to become somebody else Tell me I'm beautiful now Make me suffice Purple and black In lieu of the spine I lack My face, replaced Identity given away To appeal to the crowd Am I beautiful now? Does this suffice? We've all become mannequins Marionettes on some strings Identical carbon copies In a quest to become more beautiful

We've reached the breaking point Tensions as high as they've ever been Ruse masterminded By hands unseen Invisible enemies all around Thinking we're better than them Turned against ourselves A hill to die on I still believe, we are better than this I still believe, we can do better than this Still just a puppet, of the powers that be From American dream, wake up to see Darkest ploy Planned through the ages Sow seeds of severance And reap conquest Build us bigger walls Grant us colors that divide us Separate the races so we each Face our own demise They want us divided So we can't fight back As they plunder All we can never take back See the real apartheid For what it truly is Without subjugation We find no peace Make me believe, we are better than this Make me believe, we can do better than this Just like a puppet, of the powers that be From American dream, wake up to see The nightmare Darkest ploy Planned through the ages Sow seeds of severance And reap conquest Build us bigger walls Grant us colors that divide us Separate the races so we each Face our own demise

Deathwish 03:22
Erased mind of a stalker Sent back to hunt himself down Through a lab crawling with walkers On a journey to the center of the zone Doctor please, bring back the memories Unveil the truth, beyond the monolith Emissions breach the will of the weak Victims turned to zombies Artifacts born In the heart of anomalies And the one at the center Grants any wish Tales of fame and fortune Beyond your wildest dreams Devoured and consumed Lost to the zone A failed incursion into the zone He's stranded as choppers fall On a journey to seek the truth From the man who started it all Stalker please, share your memories Reveal the truth, beyond the monolith Emissions breach the will of the weak Victims turned to zombies Artifacts born In the heart of anomalies And the one at the center Grants any wish Tales of fame and fortune Beyond your wildest dreams Devoured and consumed Lost to the zone

Beneath the deepest sea Beyond the darkest sky Lie creatures in slumber How minor is the mind My dear, they hear So fear, they see us Our fragile minds can never understand Thought of how insignificant we are Thus we forever fear the unknown And all that lies in the eye of the storm Sentient beings Far greater than we are Ancient beings Who arrived from the stars One look is all it takes To go insane So worship and surrender To the call of Cthulhu My dear, they hear So fear, they see us Our fragile minds can never understand Thought of how insignificant we are Thus we forever fear the unknown
