Sleepless nights, raining thoughts bury me inside my mind Sleepless nights, raining thoughts bury me inside my mind Faded memories haunting down Nameless faces drifting apart No use trying to recognize They melt into the darkness now All my will, pushed away I regret living as a nameless corpse When I could be much better off dead Rusty scenes display in front of my eyes My attempt to forget, rejected by my hate Looking into myself, all I see is regret My attempt to forget, rejected by my hate Looking into myself, all I see is regret Melting faces fading away A broken memory leaving me in its wake Standing still and gazing into nothing Head so empty, aching like a bonecrack Recalls sending me to my early grave Futures pushing me back to my old slates "Go back where you belong, never turn back" Echoes in my mind, I cannot forget With shaking legs I walk towards my end Trying to hold misery with my bare hands I heard myself screaming out in fury All I've found is my own corpse to bury Digging deeper down to forget it all Haunted by an ache that will never go away from me It just goes on and on The ache just won't stop Melting faces fading away A broken memory leaving me in its wake Standing still and gazing into nothing Head so empty, aching like a bonecrack Recalls sending me to my early grave Future's pushing me back to my old slates "Go back where you belong, never turn back" Echoes in my mind, I cannot forget With shaking legs I walk towards my end Trying to hold misery with my bare hands I heard myself screaming out in fury All I've found is my own corpse to bury I have buried myself as deep as I can But the ache just won't stop It tries to take the hold of me The ache just won't stop It goes on and on The ache just won't stop It goes on and on The ache just won't stop It goes on and on The ache just won't stop It goes on and on

The choice is up to you You were the lost one pleading, Broken, begging for aid and seeking For a place within this world Where you can feel at peace within yourself The answer received does not please The flaming ones turned into enemies Strangers to your nature and hostile to your kind You’re begging them for mercy, but it you will not find Suffering’s inherent in the place and in their minds Infectious, seditious, malevolent and vicious Intoxicating elements attract your broken life Now you're under the spell Now you're under the spell Now you're under the spell What are you going to do The only thing between you and the revenge you crave Is the willingness to hasten your return to your grave Infectious, seditious, malevolent and vicious Intoxicating elements attract your broken life The only thing between you and the revenge you crave Is the willingness to hasten your return to the grave The only thing between you and the revenge you crave Is the willingness to hasten your return to the grave The choice is up to you Make it what you will The answer received does not please The flaming ones turned into enemies Strangers to your nature and hostile to your kind You’re begging them for mercy, but it you will not find Suffering’s inherent in the place and in their minds Mercy, never go What you’ve become What you bestowed on The ones you hate, the ones you love And the one you are? The one above He will bury your word He’ll bury your words He will bury your words They never will be heard again

Minns du mig Hör du mig Såg du mig gå Jag var alltid vid din sida Jag fick livet att fortskrida Jag var din enda vän Jag bar på sanningen Men du vände dig bort igen Förtrollad av en skärm Du glömde bort vår pakt Fylld av självförakt Och sen börjar det om igen Vid din sida Jag ej längre skrida Och mörkret blev din vän Det döljer sanningen Nu är du i dess makt Fylld av självförakt Så var nu på din vakt Jag var ditt minnes röst Jag bar din inre tröst [English] Do you remember me Do you hear me Did you see me walk away I was always by your side I made your life proceed I was your only friend I carried the truth within But you turned away again Enchanted by a screen You forgot about our pact Filled with self loathing And then it starts all over again By your side I no longer pace And darkness became you friend It hides the truth within You're in its power now Filled with self loathing So be on your guard I was the voice of your memory I carried your comfort within

O' soul dancer, I bare my wares on my sleeves Deep within the forest's core Alongside distrustful faces with scorn Marching along with unified intent The hex of my past a goal of urgent prevention Existing as your sitting bitch to take the fall Playing Judas only gets you so far Your crown of barbed wire is unraveling I’m not resistant to hate The blame's not on me, but how quickly it changed Hex on thy name, oh shit, you shall pay Sit in your wake, my malice overtakes Wait 'til I redefine pain Approaching the palace of blackened magic Mania, havoc, my mind is so vile Revenge and obsession, it’s festered awhile Remember this tale as I lay on the tile Soul dancer surround, my tongue spit fallacies “None the wiser” I thought, 'til these bitches circumvent me The eyes of the panther, they stalk me I lie None the wiser to my mistakes Everything seems to go my way I’m the soul taker, remember all those times When I stole all his wealth and wares And that belt lock, it tightens “Learn equality”, vision darkened “You’re the enemy.”

I have no idea How long it has been Since I’ve been fighting Whatever this is There seems to be no end And I have no sense of where I am Beyond the known, in this black ocean Where no god dares reach out its hand Where no god dares Reach out its hand I am a shorn lamb, caught in the wind Engulfed by electric shrouds Of magnetic particle clouds Then, incomprehensible hues Subdue me with no sound Crashing, after what felt like a dream I wake to an impossible green How did I get here I’ve been searching for years Searching to no avail Finding places that can’t support A selfish species that ruined their last world I don’t know how long it’s been Or if anyone knows where I am I just don’t understand I am lost and stranded This all seems so familiar Yet oh so different There’s a feeling at my gut But I can’t place it Is my mind playing tricks on me How is this even real Plastic vestiges Charred alloys And ruins that reveal There is only one thing One creature that could Create such horrors And I am one Where no God dares Reach out Its hand And as night falls I can feel eyes watching Tracing my steps I know I’m not alone Home was never A place I missed Until now Why am I continuing When it’s so obvious A rift in time space Has lead and left me here I am the shorn lamb Caught in the winds Left with what it means to be Human

[FeedAlexBacon] I have been terrified Every waking moment of this godforsaken life Bound and immobilized Will I be forced to witness my love decay to time Let all creation sing It's all so horrifying It's getting closer Closer to being over Buried down somewhere in an old cemetery There is a future coming soon for me Metamorphose, return to dirt I will shed all that can be hurt When, when does it end The clock keeps ticking, I can't control the hands When, when did I begin To think that any of this is permanent There's nothing solid to cling to [Bokeh Heights] I've been terrified Every waking moment of this godforsaken life Bound and immobilized Will I be forced to witness my love decay to time [FeedAlexBacon] Buried down somewhere in an old cemetery There is a future coming soon for me Metamorphose, return to dirt I will shed all that can be hurt When does it end The clock keeps ticking, I can't control the hands When did I begin to think I could This is all nothing This is all nothing This is all nothing This is all nothing This is all nothing Does erasure end comfort or suffering This is all me This is all nothing I am already that which I seek This is all nothing

Memories left behind Scratching inside my mind I'll never be alone With them inside my soul Let me be All alone Inside these Walls of woe No escaping, no one's hearing All the screams that I've been howling Howling into myself just to Find why I feel suffocated All I see is timeline of My progress and how ruined it is Dimming all of the lights, blinding both of my eyes Hitting my head to walls, wishing my brain falls off Lay me to rest, I can not take all the thinking I need a new page and I need some breathing I can't let go of me I can't let go of myself Despite the haunting of the past And I'll find myself again Going back and forth between life and death As I feel the both sides embracing my soul Taking the steps to reach my end Whether it awaits me or not People I've left behind Living inside my mind I choose to be alone Embrace my vagrant soul Let me be All alone Inside this Eternity I feel the wind taking me to the place I always belonged Leave me here all alone to feel the silence I can't recall Leave me here in my grave Lighting all of the lights, open up both my eyes Climbing back to the walls, hoping I won't fall off Crawling to the surface to stop all the thinking I've found a new page and now I am breathing

Come by My friend Come by My old friend Come by, my old friend Come by Come from far end places in the mind Never certain who's behind It never grows old When all that was Is retrieved from memory Cognitive interference intervenes Remember your dreams Recall the archaic presence Remember who you are In this dream I recall memories I was told In this dream I was young For so long, high above In this dream I was young For so long, high above Come from far end places in the mind Never certain who's behind We'll never be again I recall your presence I recall your presence I recall your presence I remember who I am When we fall into oblivion All is gone We are dreaming We are breathing We are screaming Memories

Time, time slips away A fleeting embrace Moments entwined in a restless chase Fading the echoes of days long past In the hourglass of memories embraced Fractured visions, fragments unfold In the tapestry of stories untold A symphony of the forgotten years Shadows, conquering fears In the whirlwind of moments left behind The sands of time, relentless, flow Yet the past's tendrils refuse to let go Through the labyrinth of mind's eye's we roam Seeking the lights in the corridor Notion of home Shadows dance upon the walls Recollections in empty halls Faces fade, names decay Yet in our essence They forever stay The hourglass drains Relentless and true Yet it's the journey that brings the view Bitter taste of silence I’m soon gonna find it If it is over, I'mma refuse to go In the pages of time, they're so burned The essence of life, fleeting smile To the wreckage of time Destroy what’s lost And we stand tall Innocence double-crossed As the dawn one day breaks strong Deceived by a heart that supposed to love Don't wanna say no more Don't wanna say no more For old time's sake

[Wes Morgan] Reclaim lost knowledge Buried in the depths of despair I cannot quite grasp Defined grains uniform without exception I fear malevolence visits me unwelcome She manipulates the diseased A star burns out Sacrificed in me without Doubting twice We can be restored To a state that we’ve coveted for so long We will place ourselves in prisons unfathomable Luminescent chains Binding all in the world that remains That memory is all but lost to me [Sean Murray] A primal call splits my being A schism between the hunt for blood and clinging to sanity Soon devolving to an empty husk of instinct I forsake the remnant dregs of humanity Harken, vestigial rage and wrath My soul again to tread your path Human intellect in atrophy Rend the contract that preserves the weak The pyrite prophets, weak and the hypocrites I will soon consume your being The howl of nature precedes your meager gods Predates them as I must you Invocations of days long past Raise the blood cloth upon the mast The stagnant air gives way to a silent breeze That bears the scent, the terror of a new age [Wes Morgan] Breed predators to conquer my kind And slaughter the boundary of divine Professional prey Artificial food chain Professionals engaged in hiding away Hiding away, away from me A cemetery for memories and dreams For memories and dreams A star burns out Sacrificed in me without Doubting twice We can be restored To a state that we’ve coveted for so long We will place ourselves in prisons unfathomable Luminescent chains Binding all in the world that remains That memory is all but lost to me Breed predators to conquer my kind And slaughter the boundary of divine Professional prey Artificial food chain Professionals hiding away From the cemetery They lead with lies And trap you in the light Dissolved identity in lost memory My lungs take in ethereal waters Have you broken down Have you forgotten how to see Have you forgotten how to be Are you inside of me Or are you free Are you free, you free Memory

[Anthony Damitio] I cross my heart when you cross my mind You're the only drug that I can't decline You're a lethal dose, and I'm on you tonight Your medicine straight into my brain And I'm suffering but I don't feel pain Now I'm fucked up but I don't want to get clean So if you see me in the streets And I don't seem well Don't rescue me And if I'm crying out for help And I don't look like myself Don't rescue me Don't rescue me [Sean Murray] Leave it alone I'll be fine without you Don't be my salvation I'm not yours to rescue Out of time, I can't fight, don't look my way The seeds I've sown are mine alone, the growing pain Long since the light shined on my face Lost cause, so don't cross my path Don't rescue me Don't come too close I'm not yours to save Please look away [Anthony Damitio] I cross my heart when you cross my mind You're a million thoughts at a million miles And I was just another out to kill And I fucked up when I let you in But the past is past, no one's innocent But either way, I can't let you go Under my skin Play with my head Under my skin Play with my head Please don't rescue me Don't rescue me

You've been gone for quite a while Dust collects on the memory of your smile Like photo frames that fade with age Though I tried to keep them in the shade I search my mind to tally up All the things about you I once knew And when I'm done, I fitfully sleep In the bitter absence of you Where you are, I can't see Can you find your way back to me Are you lost? I'm in the dark Fearing that we are forever apart Every day, another thought of then Goes drifting from my head Each time recalling less And longer in between But I don't want to forget I don't want to forget I will try to keep my vigil And you my flickering flame Am I lost to the dark without you Will this flame fade to nothing As a statue of marble Wrought in the dusk I ponder the fading sun Wishing its glow to engrave itself upon me In its beauty, all the more contempt The light spurns my plea, now doomed to forget Crawling feebly from the grasp of sleep My last memory of you is soon to release
