The Roundest Cube

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

Ethereal Spark

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

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

Dissect the Dissent
04:13
|
|||
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

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

The Eldest Fear
03:14
|
|||
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
