1. PREY (DOWNFALL)

As I wander in search for the heavenly symphonies
I find nothing but this trail
This trail of slaughter, suffering, agony and rape
Created by us, who call ourselves mankind
Yet we are victimized, by our own cursed hands
We all are prey, we are all prey


2. INTROSPECTION

Words could not express
My intentions towards you
An introspective silence
My thoughts would falter to a tone

Vague eyes cast upon a mindless web
My tongue is chained, though my lips are sealed
Wondering the purpose of the insect
Or why the mind had not revealed its secret

Words could not express
My intentions towards you
An introspective silence
My thoughts would falter to a tone

I'd rather be out in the green
The scent of leaves teaching me
About the insect and its nature
To gain the competence to endure

But in the desolation I am lost
Could I just invoke my way out
By simply reading the map of my soul

I'd rather be out by the sea
The scent of brine teaching me
About the waves and their nature
To gain the competence to endure

Vague eyes cast upon a mindless web
My tongue is chained, though my lips are sealed
Wondering the purpose of the insect
Or why the mind had not revealed its secret

But in the desolation I am lost
Could I just invoke my way out
By simply reading the map of my soul

Words could not express
My intentions towards you
An introspective silence
My thoughts would falter to a tone

Something hairy creeps in my mouth
I can't breathe, though my heart is still beating
Screaming for help, but no one hears me
No one hears me


3. DEEP DOWN

To entangle in a living complex
To strangle within creeping borders
To mangle in cognitive machinery
The angle in a visionary's eye

Desperate for a vision, for a second chance
Can't save this ‘game', or avoid the dance
Knowing I'm reasoning in fear of my fate
Ever ineffective: it is futile to debate

It's hard to surrender to the essence of life
Struggling daily, questioning why
Trying to escape, but I can't get off
Unfairly treated by the whole

I cannot comprehend the life I have to live
For the choices I won't make, are the lives I have to miss
I cannot accept, that the options I neglect
Could have been the joy, the joy that I lack

Drowning in thoughts so hollow
Spiralling downwards
Ever onwards
Into the cesspool of my soul

I cannot comprehend the life I have to live
For the choices I won't make, are the lives I have to miss
I cannot accept, that the options I neglect
Could have been the joy, the joy that I lack

Drowning in thoughts so hollow
Spiralling downwards
Ever onwards
Into the cesspool of my soul

I am so frustrated to find
That I cannot leave behind
The way I chose my path
Regrets in the past
An eternal afflict to me
I'm a convict in time to be

Drowning in thoughts so hollow
Spiralling downwards
Ever onwards
Into the cesspool of my soul


4. FOR YOU

Yesterday was so surreal
As I drew back the curtains
The sun had not risen
Because of you
The sun did not rise for you

Through the tears in my eyes I saw rain descending
Descending on my pillow
The sky's gone grey
Because of you
The sky has gone out for you

You were so surreal
As I pushed away my burden
Of your funeral day
Memories blown away

I always feared that this day would arise
To be left astride with the pains of your demise
The struggle of relief and consolation
Shadowed by the flashbacks of our time

You were so surreal
As I pushed away my burden
Of your funeral day
Memories blown away

6. RETROSPECT

There was a time…
I clearly remember
Frozen identity, what will become of me?

Times of good and ill,
Finding out which path is right
Times of domination,
They've led to my creation

Overruled by a lack of voice,
If I had known,
I would make an other choice
But desperate I was,
Not knowing it would be,
The cause of my future suffering

“Sometimes I wonder, would you make an other choice?
Or would you just be the same, weaker as I was?”

I can't change the past
That's how I see it
But sometimes i feel,
It's back in my head
Now is the time
To leave it all behind

Closing my eyes, opening them once again
I try to stand strong
Opening my eyes, closing them once again
I am strong


7. HEARTFELT

From the discord in my head
To the clench around my heart
Through the chaos that lies upon my path
I seek the missing parts of the puzzle

With these shattered puzzle pieces I find one by one
I'm amazed by the fact my mind is heavily on the run
Broken and oppressed memories lead to insight by what I've told
I've developed a peculiar way for all to bend and mould

(Is ignorance bliss?)

Thus my tears rain, where dreadful autumn reigns
It's this pulsing ache that constantly feeds me through my veins
And here I am again with a wish to leave without a trace
Searching and wandering and locked in this master-created maze

With these shattered puzzle pieces I find one by one
I'm amazed by the fact my mind is heavily on the run

Knowing that I do have the ability
To live my dreams and to dream my life
I will carry on and I will strive.

But as I dream, in cognitive dissonance
My will has lead me astray
In my journey to consciousness
I float to a state of mind
Seeking release and to wash away
The sins and sentiment…to find
