Idle Hands 05:55
lyrics
buy track
There are sins you cannot atone for Yet we are hoping for another chance when there's nothing but storms in the sky There are dreams you may never achieve but there's hope in your happiness still but you'll never learn if you don't slow it down Are you bored or desperate, have you lost all control? Don't you know that idle hands belong to the dark? Every breath feels more like the last Each minute I think on the past; what I've lost All I've lost How am I to be something I'm not? What am I to say that'll make it okay to be myself again? Can it go up from here, no? Can you see the pain in me? Can you believe all the things that I've seen? Are you bored or desperate, have you lost all control? Don't you know that idle hands belong to the dark? Can you see the pain in me? Do you believe I'm doomed (to my destiny)? Like a wound from a knife, The pain won’t subside Blood flows like a river, Running over time We follow the roads that our actions defined Held to the convictions of a previous life Bury this life Are you bored or desperate, have you lost all control? Don't you know that idle hands belong to the dark?

To The End Of All Things 03:48
lyrics

We burden the lungs of the earth and rob the future of life We drain it's blood from the fucking ground yet we still pray to it's skies We drank from the cup, but never questioned the source as if it were endless Catastrophe is imminent within this vaccuum of ignorance We left the burden to our future kin We are the symptom, we are the parasite Our actions cement our demise We were given wings, yet burned them alive Suffering Endless tragedy Our greed, their blood to bare We burden the lungs of the earth and rob the future of life We drain it's blood from the ground yet still we pray to it's skies We subject our children to a future of nothing A lifetime of regret They face the dawn of extinction At the hand of neglect Suffering Endless tragedy Our greed Our crimes against humanity As the forests turn to ash the glaciers melt away we deflect the wreckage on the omnipotent never once ourselves Catastrophe is imminent within this vaccuum of ignorance

Lost Our Way 03:57
lyrics

Did you think we'd ever find ourselves here again, Wondering when this hatred would end? Regression is in full swing as the dominos come right down Have we truly lost our way? Every foot forward, we fall back again Can anybody hear me scream? Have we truly lost our way? Have we forgotten yesterday? Say it ain't so, this isn't the world that I belong to Forever alone, I'll carve out a path that I believe in What the hell is going on, I can't believe my own eyes A world so cold, I never thought we'd ever cross these lines Can't you understand why I'm afraid? Can't you see that history repeats? You blurred the lines, between fact and fiction You scratced out the pain you've never experienced You blurred the lines, between fact and fiction You scratced out the pain you'll never experienced We're doomed to repeat history again This world is on fire We inspire the desire of destruction This world is our fucking burden That's the American way; Never fucking compromise We are doomed to repeat history again We are doomed to repeat fucking history again This world will never change Have we truly lost our way? Have we forgotten yesterday? Say it ain't so, this isn't the world that I belong to Forever alone, I'll carve out a path that I believe in

Sleeper Hold (Ft. Deathakles) 03:01
lyrics

I used to always dream, but now I never sleep The strangest things in life are those in your head rent free I used to long for sleep, but nightmares keep me awake The things you see within the black are those you can't forsake Nightmares on nightmares in my lair that's no fair There's something wrong in the air Everyone I tell doesn't care but It's ominous It's among us, isn't it obvious? (We run as mortals through portals in dreams away from the gorgon) We're victims held down in a sleeper hold, ours eyes meet and it slowly creeps Arms and legs locked I cannot even speak It's so cold and atrocious The future is bleak and ferocious It's come down to this and we cannot give in so Take us away now for all of our sins I used to always dream, but now I never sleep The strangest things in life are those in your head rent free I used to long for sleep, but nightmares keep me awake The things you see within the black are those you can't forsake I'm barely breathin Furious energy for many reasons Couple demons, enemies creepin while I'm tryna sleep I see through the black Shadows entrap, plan of attack Binds me Autonomy behind me It's so cold, and I'm told I'm insane No hope, these old tropes, they repeat Paralyzed, I begin to fantasize about escape The fear in me comin to the brink of infinity Feeling the pressure just building I cannot Wake up My inhibitions given into Please just stop this Hopeless in my bed I can only suffer where my dreams go We can never believe in what we know I don't wanna see another demon I can never be safe because I used to dream I used to always dream, but now I never sleep The strangest things in life are those in your head rent free I used to long for sleep, but nightmares keep me awake The things you see within the black are those you can't forsake

Bleeding Me Dry 05:07
lyrics

Hello there, that familiar sting Another dawn is here to bring Rain even when the sun is full To cauterize this open wound is something I wish I could do But the cost of pain is nothing compared to silence I stow away all my complaints To never repeat them another day I ache and hurt, but the boulder must be pushed The consequence of letting go is knowing all I’ve ever known Will have simply been all for not It’s bleeding me dry Hello again, my old regret I see you haven’t changed a bit I’m lost in this sea with you again Searching for purpose in this place Of darkness I do not relate Yet here I am, still searching for sunlight A new sun, brings day anew I’ve bit off more than I can chew Does it matter how I feel anyways? The consequence of letting go is knowing all I’ve ever done Will have never mattered in the end It’s bleeding me dry I can’t do this alone The weight’s too much for one So won’t you push alongside Even if for a moment

Return to the Earth 04:57
lyrics

The dead have returned to the earth and with they bring forth malice to those still walking Unimagined things, you'd never believe Hell shall open from the ground below Unholy phenomenon Reigns in this demonic realm From the depths and the dirt rises pestilence, hurt, And all things terrible The corruption encompasses all of the land with no sense of mercy The human in them is gone The human in them is lost Empathy leaves with the soul As do leaves with the vine All hope is gone for those Whose spirits have seen the other side Empathy leaves with the soul As do leaves with the vine As heaven’s gate has surely closed, The dead have returned to the earth Succumb to the dark, nefarious souls that shall overtake the earth and turn it to an empty world Where all shall die, where all shall wither and float in the ether to conjoin with death The mouth of the earth widens full As shadows deliver a blanket of black When hells door opens wide there’s no turning back When the soul leaves, are we still human? When the soul leaves, where do we depart to? When the soul leaves, does life truly end? Or do we become pawns for the taking? Prisoners of death, Unchained to come for the rest Of us who have continued on In the physical plane Death has come for us The dead have returned to the death Succumb to the dark, nefarious souls that shall overtake the earth and turn it to an empty world Where all shall die, where all shall wither and float in the ether to conjoin with death The dead have returned to the earth Calamity gives way to rebirth The devil grins in wake of loss From the depths and the dirt rises pestilence, hurt, And all things terrible Bring us deliverance Bring us salvation The dead have returned to the earth Empathy leaves with the soul As do leaves with the vine All hope is gone for those Whose spirits have seen the other side Empathy leaves with the soul As do leaves with the vine The reign of darkness prevails, The dead have returned to the earth

Last Goodbye 04:43
lyrics

These troubled times have come to end me I'm growing sick of all the pain striking down our home Can we take away what separates us both Or are we to struggle now, alone struggle or let go? I don't want to say goodbye I don't want this to be the end of everything we... Can we move on and say our last goodbyes to carry on with our own lives Can we carry on to start this life anew I kept pushing on and on and on No longer could my heart go on, go on, go on through all the pain we've faced together I can't see this life without you in my arms, you in my eyes Every obstacle, with you by my side is another mountain to climb But my bodies giving in I can't hold on any longer Can we move on and say our last goodbyes to carry on with our own lives Can we carry on to start this life anew My bodies giving in I can't go on Can we move on and say our last goodbyes to carry on with our own lives Can we carry on to start this life anew

Feed the White Noise (Ft. Erik Neugebauer) 03:50
lyrics

I'd do anything for a better distraction Feed the white noise Drown me in static Force me to dream Force me to feed on the white noise Stop me from thinking Force me to believe This is everything I'll ever need This constant screaming in my ear won't subside (won't subside) "You'll never be good enough", "you'll never be what you want to be" Why should I give a fuck if I don't give a fuck about myself? This calamity I face This life I wish to erase The screaming never ends Tear off the ears, silence the noise from entering my fucking head The visions I once had of life will not be born The dreams I once had have become objects of scorn I am beholden to the voices in my head telling me to end my life incomplete Feed the white noise Drown me in static Force me to dream Force me to feed on the white noise Stop me from thinking Force me to believe This is everything I'll ever need The voices in my head say end my life incomplete I'm so afraid of what I have become So fucking hard to breathe Nothing more to feel When all i bleed is death Harboring inside of me Six sense, perception of hate Self loathing underneath Expelling mirthfulness within the brain Swathe me in despair Voices are deafening Echoing in abysmal graves Seeping into mortality Imprisoned in corruption Just let me out Death wash over me No life, just noxious sound End this miserable life From dusk to dawn, my head keeps running along Treading through notions and compulsions that I do not belong Just an ant in the dirt, spit down the drain, a pure amalgamation of every ounce of my pain May death lead to salvation May this life end End this miserable life

Artificial Reality 04:29

Deliver me from this digital prison Decrypt the code and unplug me from this algorithmic sensation that's overloading all of my senses Delivering what it deems necessary to me Like newborn birds being fed from their mothers mouths We cannot define what it means to think for ourselves Another crash course in mankind online Integration granted welcome to the hive mind Parasitic, parasocial So close yet so far apart Millions and millions tethered every moment of the day Confined within the confides of their calming cyberspace Every like and every purchase we make influences the direction of advertisements they create Every human is a number and a commodity Sold out and whored for a profit, plenty Every human is a number and a commodity Every fucking soul is replaceable What the fuck are you worth? Another crash course in mankind online Integration granted welcome to the hive mind Parasitic, parasocial So close yet so far apart Dare we bite the hand that knows us all We're all locked in playing as it's pawns Do you really want to unsubscribe? Please wait, we're loading today's entertainment Did you bother looking at our advertisements? Refresh, scroll on, and feed us forever Every human is a number and a commodity Sold out and whored for a profit Another ID in the registry Dare we bite the hand that knows us all? Another crash course in mankind online Integration granted welcome to the hive mind Parasitic, parasocial So close yet so far apart

At the crossroads again Do I continue down the path I've been down before? My god what a mess this is To do this dance another time Like we always have before Your puppet on a string Is all I’ve ever been So go and pull on my thread again You lied to me, you swore this was through A travesty it is For you to break this bond And Make me your fool to bend (Your fool to bend) And I wait again, for the nightmare to begin, to begin So am I apart, apart of your masquerade So just break my bones, grind them in to dust Just play your part, just say you'll start. Can I forgive what you have done To me this betrayal of my trust I can’t understand why you’ve hurt me this way A total contradiction Of your every last word A total contradiction Humanity’s failed me again and again I relapse and fall prey to your direction instead Of finding solace in a place of my own Feeding this machine that has built my tomb

Limit Breaker 04:08

The fear of failing, of the unknown Can keep us tethered, our spirits overthrown But when we face those fears head on A limitless world begins to dawn Surrender yourself to the rhythm of the world around you Peril lies within your periphery Can't you feel your heart beating The tensions are rising Can't you see the odds Our limit is breaking Break the chains that bind your soul Let your spirit find it's truest form Embrace the vastness that lies ahead A life no longer led by dread The world is a canvas with it's colors undefined Shed the fears that once confined you Limit breaker Become boundless Limitless power in the palm of your hand The fear of failing, of the unknown Can keep us tethered, our spirits overthrown But when we face those fears head on A limitless world begins to dawn Limit breaker Become boundless

When The Inevitable Comes 09:01
lyrics

I would travel a million miles if it meant I found a cure I’d give a piece of myself if it meant your life could be secured Is there rhyme or reason To why this life is cruel We take every breathe never knowing if it will be our last They say “walk towards the bright white light” But it’s only darker where I stand Please don’t let go of this life and all you know There’s so much more fight left in you Please, oh I need you I hope and pray When the inevitable comes I’ll see you on the other side To realize all I’ve lost is pain I’ve never felt I can’t comprehend it The weight is unbearable Losing you is something I cannot see myself through I can’t comprehend it The pain you’ll put me through When you leave this earth and grow your wings, Ascending to the sky Remorse, Sinking in each moment Since your last breath This guilt keeps beckoning me to find you in a other life To say I’m sorry A life now lost Banished to the heavens Dear god Why did you take her from us I hope and pray When the inevitable comes I’ll see you on the other side To realize all I’ve lost is pain I’ve never felt And I hope and pray I’ll be okay Without you here Without your touch and love, I fear The regret sinking in Of the time lost I could have been Right by your side Forever in my heart Forever on my mind Goodbye
