1. VII

Our twisting ravaged mind bent by secrets shared by us,
Where silence screams broken truth against my hollow face,
The wielder longs to relive ideas through fixtures that they can control,
We omit the external factors that influence our state,

Conflicting patterns push thoughts into webs of convoluted code,
Carving scripts into my flesh, I share my intent to destruct, with you

Negative seeds sprout within the mind crippled,
We claw and tear as we wish to change, the idol which we so praise

We sculpt systems wrought from rock, just to witness them collapse
Your light glows ever stronger, the darker I fade within

Hideous remains of past poison pollute our serene stage,
We withdraw into timid statements, just to damage the working within me,

Our lifeless isolation keeps the mind paralyzed,
Infatuated, with any chance of success

I can see it
The envy of my eyes is my design,

We paint smiles of people I no longer recognize,
From whispers to strangers I feel our emotion is through
We paint smiles of people I no longer recognize,
From whispers to strangers I feel our emotion is through

Archaic ensembles of twisting shrieks, devoted to remnants of people,
We're stranded amongst a sea of frost and scars

Weave your sorrow unto me,
As we watch our lives collapse,
I built this cage myself
And I cannot get out

Weave your sorrow unto me,
As we watch our lives collapse,
I built this cage myself
And I cannot get out

Your sorrow, is me,
I built this cage myself,
And I cannot get out

Your sorrow, is me,
I built this cage myself,
And I cannot get out

Your sorrow, is me,
I built this cage myself,
And I cannot get out

Your sorrow is me
I built this cage myself and it's time to leave it behind.
