1. BORN OF YOU

Born
Of
You

You
Create the fire
That in the end
Consumes you

I
Fill my latrine with spite
Spite
Forever born of you

You
You fill my gut with rage
Rage
Forever born of you

Welcome this hell
You asked for it
Never satified
Need a way to win

Embrace this hell
You created it
Never satisfied
Gotta get back in

Forced to dwell
In disarray
Your lack of pride
Leads to lack of effort
Leads to lack of order

The cry of murder

Welcome this hell
You asked for it
Never satified
Need a way to win

Embrace this hell
You created it
Never satisfied
Never satisfied


2. APOLOGIES

My ego
My senseless ego
Has become my demise

My Relentless
Still senseless
Attacks on you my downfall, downfall

And so my need to conquer
Conquer
Conquers me

My apologies
Mean nothing
I have ruined their worth

Again on the wrong path
As I wage war on myself

When everything
Everything
Fades away

Away

My ego
My senseless ego
Has become my demise

My Relentless
Still senseless
Attacks on you my, my ,my
Downfall


3. NOT AS MINE

Not as mine

Undernourished minds falsify
Turn holocaust to lullaby
Roushing the vein of an era with no backbone
What kind of freedom confines
Rapes the mind
Your freedom
Is not as mine

Age of indulgence
Refusal
Immediate gratification
Refusal
Infantile behavior
Refusal
From a culture
So advanced

Not as mine
Not
Not as mine
Not

Not as mine
Your privileges
Not as mine
Your freedom
Not as mine
Your rights are not, not
Not as mine

I may have the right
But I don't need to exercise it


4. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Sacrifice this love
Unconditional love

Takes all my strength
For me not to cut my throat
Out of my sight
But forever in my mind

Put your pride aside
Let emotion take over
These scars have faded away
With all the tears

Memories burn holes in my heart
Let the blackness shine through

Cold numb in my mind
Burns right through these eyes
Slow moving time
Bleeding out my sickness

I'm still waiting drained
Stumbled over a piece of my past
Only wanting
To forget

Sacrifice this love
Sacrifice our love
Sacrifice my love
Unconditional love

Unconditional love
Unconditional love
Unconditional love
You promised me
Unconditional
Unconditional love


5. TWENTY FOUR

Not to be
Held accountable
For what I've done
That was then, this is now
It's not what I do

Left behind
I turned away
The twenty fourth letter
Bears all i am

And I will
Walk away

In the past
Buried grave
Left behind
Left alone

I'd like to think
That I've come farther than that

I'd like to think
That I could be given more credit than that

I'd like to think
That my mistakes
And when they move on
They're still in the past

In the past
Buried grave
Left behind
Left alone

And I will
Walk away


6. ANOTHER PATH

For you
My time
Is not
Worth the pain

You let your fears
Get the best of you
Let your fears
Get the best of you

Put on me
Haven't changed my mind
Just another way
To escalate

Another path
Leads me nowhere
But i can clear
So many more

For you
My time
Is not
Worth the pain

Your fears
Get the best
Let your fears
Get the best of you

And this is one time
I'll let it get the best of me
My dreams
Are already broken

My dreams
Are never broken

I found a new release
Tongue in cheek
My dreams
It seems
Were never ever broken

For you
My time
Is not
Worth the pain

Your fears
Your fears
You let your fears
Get the best of you


7. ONE AND ONLY

If i could move
It would only be a crawl

A perverse creation
Of an angry man
There's nothing less
In this world

Than i think
Of myself
All my dignity lost
Ripped to shreds
Open wounds
Never mend
Ripped to shreds

Built by strength
To destroy myself
Already dead
Rotting
As my body quivers
For the last time

The prophecy has come
Full circle
The sun will rise
For the last time
As I'm lowered
To my final place of bliss

You are the only one

All my dignity lost
Ripped to shreds
Open wounds
Never mend
Ripped to shreds


8. Defect

You try and hold your self ahead of me
You try to use your words to minimize my pride
Nothing you can say or do will find my voice
Know how it feels man
It turns me stone to see your face

Try
To down play
Scolding words that
Minimize

A vagant whipping
To hold
To hold my
Interest

I deflect
These words
You choose

All will is flattenend
All thoughts decay
With my arms wide open
I accept
The coming day

I deflect
These words
You choose


9. STILL CROSSED

After all this time

I thought
I knew you
Like the back of my hand
Still crossed
And that will never change

I hear your edge has gone dull
I can not feed into your fall
I can only cry for you
And continue to rise above

After all this time
I'm still going strong

I thought
I knew you
Like the back of my hand
I'm still crossed
And that will never change

After all this time
Going strong
After all this time


10. SILENCE SURROUNDS

Pain finds
My void
Makes me
Feel whole

Lets me know
I can still feel
Stagnant slow
Beat of a heart

My silent scream
Still unheard
Sadness for the lonely
Silence surrounds me
My minds screams the words

Draining
Vision
Ending
My life

Have the words
On the tip of my tongue
My mind won't let them out

My silent scream
Still unheard
Sadness for the lonely
Silence surrounds me
My minds screams the words

Waist deep in this filth
Let the rain wash it away
Clouds break and the sun shines through
Give birth to brand new day

Blackness consumes my mind
My body too weak weak to move
There's nothing left of me
Empty shell of a human being

Waist deep in this filth
Let the rain wash it away
Clouds break and the sun shines through
Give birth to brand new day

Blackness consumes my mind
My body too weak weak to move
There's nothing left of me
Empty shell of a human being

Empty Shell
Empty Shell
