With all that you've done
With all of the lies that you've told to yourself
I'll never forget the way you made me feel
It's almost over now
Just sing your song while you're still awake and breathing
I can see your end
Slow down, take a breath
It may be your last
Hold out your hand
Accept this gift of eternal life in hell
With all that you've done
With all of the blood that you've spilled to the ground
I'll never forget the calming of the impending storm
It's almost over now
Frustration's growing like the ashes
What used to be your life
So lie awake
Accept these choices that you have made
You have done this to yourself
So lie awake
Accept these choices that you have made
You have done this to yourself
With all that you've done
With all of the blood that you've spilled to the ground
I'll never forget the way you made me feel
It's almost over now
Frustration's growing like the ashes I can see your end
So lie awake
Accept these choices that you have made
You have done this to yourself
So lie awake Accept these choices you have made
You have done this to yourself
And I can hear you laughing
You don't even have a clue, do you?
They're always just sitting there laughing and staring at you
As you did nothing
You're no one
You're nothing
You're no one
Slow down, take a breath
It may be your last
Hold out your hand
Accept this gift of eternal life in hell
Slow down, take a breath
It may have your last
Hold out your hand
Accept this gift of eternal life in hell
So lie awake
Accept these choices you have made
You have done this to yourself
So you lie awake
Accept these choices you have made
You have done this to yourself
So lie awake Accept these choices you have made
You have done this to yourself
And lie awake
Accept these choices you have made
You have done this to yourself

Second Perception
From a mile away
I watched you crawl out of a grave
I tried to save you, but there was nothing left to save
Am I to blame?
Is it right that I bear all the shame
Your bitter agony is killing me
Break me
Tear down the walls til the skin and bones are nothing
Until there's nothing left but dust
From a mile away
I walked alone with all my shame
I tried to blame you, but there was no one left to blame Am I the same?
Is it right that I thought I could change
My bitter agony is killing me
Am I alive? Or am I breathing?
I see your face staring back at me
From a different point on reality
Breaking me. Breaking me
I tried to turn my face and hide
I swallowed the fear and then I tried to look inside
But your hollow eyes followed me
I need a second just to check my perspective
In retrospect I guess that if what I expected
Was that this would be easier than it was I guess I was wrong
So fucking wrong
An optimist would say that it's time well wasted
The truth is that time was spent wasting away
While I wasted away living day to day
The walls fell in on me
What did I find When I looked inside?
Time stared right back at me
Looked me in the eye
This is what time said to me
Make your decision for the second time
She said I need a second just to check my perspective
In retrospect I guess that if what I expected
Was that this would be easier than it was I guess I was so fucking wrong
An optimist would say that it's time well wasted
The truth is that time was spent wasting away
While I wasted away living day to day
The walls fell in on me
Fell in on me
Who am I?
I've seen it once, I've see it a million times, I've seen it all
Tried to make me feel I'm perfect
But I can't take the shame I never thought I'd try
Every day just fell apart In spite of me, in spite of you
Of everything that we are
What more do you want from me?
What more do you need me to do?
I've come and give you everything
And I tried just to pass some time with you I tried it all for you
I need a second just to check my perspective.
In retrospect I guess that if what I expected
Was that this would be easier than it was I guess I was wrong
So fucking wrong
An optimist would say that it's time well wasted
The truth is that time was spent wasting away
While I wasted away living day to day
The walls fell in on me
Fell in on me

Fear in me
How was I mistaken?
I hit the water and thought I drowned
Life was taken from me
And I was shaking
How was I mistaken?
I hit the the water and there I found
There was nothing left for me
And I was braking
How was I mistaken?
Down on the water is where I found
My hope left me for their pity
They were laughing at me
What more do you need?
You've taken everything from me
What more do you want me
Me to do for you?
What more can you see?
You've taken everything from me
I won't beg you for your pity
You can take it away from me
How was I mistaken?
I hit the bottom and thought I drowned
Life was taken from me
And I was shaking How was I mistaken?
Down on the bottom is where I found
There was nothing left for me
They were pissing on me
What more do you need?
You've taken everything from me
What more do you want me
Me to do for you?
What more can you see?
You've taken everything from me
I won't beg you for your pity
I could take my time
All the things I find
Suffocate in my mind
Is this really my life?
I don't want you taking your opinions into my time
I can't face it again
When you're with me everything is dead
And it makes me feel like this is the end
This is your bright light
I hope you stay
This is the end
End of the road for you
How was I mistaken?
I hit the water and thought I drowned
Life was taken from me
They were pissing on me
What more do you need?
You've taken everything from me
What more can you see?
You've taken everything from me
I won't beg you for your pity
You can take it away from me

Prime Evil
I am becoming this anger that consumes me
My whole life is lying in the ashes
Subjugation of this mind
Relinquish all control
Consume me
Lay me down
Resurrect what remains
A pungent afterthought of what once was
Not looking back, just moving forward
I'll become myself yet once again
This all will end
Riding on a bullet
Embrace the impact
The aftermath will consume me
Masticate and spit me out
Become this once again
This life I create is filled with lies
Is breathing
Is pushing forward
Feels so fucking good
So overwhelming
Sensational feeling
To hate what I've become
Empty out my mind
Turn it all to black
There's nothing left but rage
I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become

Weaponize
They've come to take you down
The way they took me long before you
There's no use fighting now
You're helpless as they stand before you
You're fading
And they're gonna bring you over to the dark side
And they’re gonna make you see through other eyes
and you're gonna be locked in the basement
Darkness falls and you won't find your way again
Do you have a soul for sale
Do you think there's a chance that you will prevail
Do you think you'll escape this
Open up your eyes
I watched them break you down
The way they broke me down before you
You're fading
There's no use fighting now
They've come to take you like they took me long before you
I can't seem to help you now
And they're gonna bring you over to the dark side
And they're gonna make you see through my eyes
And you're going to a place that's escapeless
Empty out your mind, you're faceless
They will drag your soul through hell
hey will make you forget to remember
They will take away your name
Replace it on your arm with a number
They'll break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing
Break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing
Welcome to the dark side
see through other eyes
want to escape this
you're faithless
You are not a soul for sale
You are just a servant who will not prevail
When your locked in the basement
Open up your eyes
I'll break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing
Break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing Break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing
Break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing I'll break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing
Break you down
The way they broke me down before you
Now you are nothing

Z Song
My own desire to feel
You are the bearer of unconditional things
I tried
But you were never satisfied with me
You want to break me down
I want to play the victim
I always knew that there were times to be grateful for
Everything that you've done for me, but it always brings me down
I am nothing
I always knew that what
I wanted was a chance to show you just how to feel
When chances up I never want to waste my time down on my face
Look what you've done to me
You're so high, I'm hollow
Seems that I have nothing left when there's nothing left for me to feel
I try to pass some time where I can fall away
I only wanted you to see me
Nothing is perfect
But then you looked my way you cast me aside
I am nothing, you are everything
To you I'm nothing at all
My life, my pride
my sacrifices coming clear
It always gets on me that everything I say
You never seem to hear
You are the bearer of
unconditional,
Unconditional love
I tried giving you all, but you're never satisfied with me
I am nothing
I better take a minute look inside
How far down will I know where I wanna be
How from down will I go in the blackness
There is nothing left that's a part of me
What do you feel when nothing is real?
Tell me what do you feel when all of this is not real?
I tried to pass some time where I could fall away
I only wanted you to see me
Nothing is perfect
But when you looked my way you cast me aside
I am nothing, you are everything To you I'm nothing at all
I don't want to waste
away alone
Away from everything
My heart of stone
waiting at the gates
I pray to whom
When will you tell me
Where I need to be
Where do I go?
Tell me anything
I need to know
I don't want you waste
away alone
I am nothing
I try to pass some them where I can fall away
I only wanted you to see me
Nothing is perfect
But then you looked my way and cast me aside
I am nothing, you are everything
To you I'm nothing at all

Recidivist
Change couldn't save me from hatred that made me
Frustrated with the sense of oblivion
My mind is aching escape from the blatant
Past tense thoughts of life once forsaken
What was a shell, the terror that drives me
Chastised with lies, no hope of repentance
Brought me from hell, no heaven will find me
Blindly I see there is fate to this sentence
They tried to change me
They'll never make me see life through their eyes
They tried to save me
Make me believe there was hope in their promise
My disease, acknowledging, room to grow
My disease becoming me the clarity, I could not see
My disease, begging me, needs to sow
Visions are enthralled in me, appalled by those who can not see
I can't feel anything
When I breathe
I can't feel anything
When I breathe
Wide awake in circles
Fictitious parables
Metaphors of life strive
To distract me from everything
Calming in my eyes find
Blinding of the melanin
Inside it's all the same
Fearing at the last breath
What do I see, what do I feel?
Blinded by the bliss of this
What do you see, what do you feel?
Terror strikes your heart
What do I see, what do I feel?
Colours swirl, contagious mist
What do you see, what do you feel?
End of life
Recidivist will claim you
Purge and maim you
I will take you home
But only in pieces
Now you're wide awake
Staring up into the sky
Loud, but silently
Screaming out before you die
Change, couldn't
Blame, wouldn't
Hate
Now this sacrifice
Resurrects the rage inside
Pain is nothing now
Screaming out before you die
Change, couldn't
Blame, wouldn't
Hate, shouldn't
Nothing can change me
Change, couldn't
Blame, wouldn't
Hate, shouldn't
They tried to change me
I'll never change
