1.
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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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
