Curse Of Connection
02:59
|

Your approach
Steadfast but unsure
You reach in just to grab a little more
What comes next?
Nobody knows
The depths of this corrupted vessel will swallow you whole
Drink from this glass I have prepared, and follow me into this hell I have created for Myself in my own mind
Curse of connection
Sanity rots
Infiltrate my mind, and get fucking lost
Do you see what I see?
Are you becoming more of me?
Take it all away
Digging, digging, deeper, until you rid me of life once more
Curse of connection
Break me down

The Hedgehog's Dilemma
02:48
|

I bleed to become one with others
Tear me open and see what you find
Break me apart, treading ever so deeply
Into my broken fucking mind
Don't get so close to me
I don't want to show you
I don't want you to see
The thoughts that I harbor, are they not mine to keep?
Will you take them and make my life harder than it already has to be?
I have built this foundation, so just leave me at peace
Stay far away
Stay far away
Stay far away
Am I to expose myself?
For love?
For trust?
Harmonize in this hell with me
Show me what love has to bring
To extinguish the daring flames of my own self loathing, how possible is it through Human Connection?
Terrorize my mind
I've got nothing to hide
Treading ever so deeply
Sinking in the depths of this crude, opaque, blackened hellscape
I realize that no one can save me

Against The Grain
02:05
|

I will stand against the grain, no longer bound
With the strength to outweigh the masses
This world consumed by greed
Corruption fueled by the weakest man
My power eviscerates any sight of intoxication
You cannot stop me
Don't even waste your fucking time
I am the Goliath
I stand above all who dare to defy me
My enemies will be crushed under my entire being
I won't let anyone force me to accept this bullshit deceptive "reality"
I will not let you
You're a disease, and I am the cure

A Haunting Display
03:26
|

So here we go again, sinking down to the depths
In this erratic state of limbo
Where we tear at the itch
Until it drains all semblance of life
And I know the rains above will fall and wash me away
Take me away from this place
And I know the waves will suffocate me
Dissolving all the flesh and bone
A reminder of who I was, set in stone
A haunting display of the reality we face
Living only as a casualty
Become the martyr
Give it all away
Dissect the life I was given
If it means that I won't suffer anymore
You cannot run from the truth
For it is buried into you
The vultures will feast on the bodies of the weak
A haunting display of a world that we cannot change
Gnaw away at the surface
Drive it to my core
But as unforgiving as life can be
I will not cave to the opposition
I'll make sure I deal the final blow
Throughout seasons change
The shell will deteriorate
And it's cold, but I need to feel it
Constantly rewriting the scripture
But one things for certain
The waves will always come and go

Treading Ever So Deeply
05:16
|

We are all subjects to this curse
This life we live in
To live and die, is all we've ever known
The dichotomy of living and non-existence
So cruel, yet so beautiful
Nobody wanted this to happen
And the past is something we can't change
As time moves on, with or without us
The everlasting reminder that those most precious
Will be stripped away, no matter what I say
There aren't enough words to describe this feeling
The truth in the absolution of death
Is that I'll never see you again
Once you depart, there is nothing I can do
One day, I'll look back on this
When the everlasting flame has extinguished
And I can only hope that life has left you satisfied
Your memory will give me the strength that I need to keep on living
My life sentence in Hell won't prevent me
From giving my all for the ones who have fallen
There aren't enough words
I just hope it reaches you
There's still so much left to say
As you slowly slip away
And now you'll never see the light of day
The disease has ran it's course
And things will never be the same
But I thank you for the love you gave
So please don't worry
You gave me your strength
And I'll be strong, once you're gone
I'll be strong, once you're gone
