1. Nothing Remains
I shout these words to those who never listened
I pen this letter with the utmost conviction
It's been dark in here, cold and relentless
its been too long, I can no longer fight this
Too late to change my mind
Nothing Remains
I've silenced the pain
All these years passed
No one heard true feelings
You continued to act like you knew me
Did you ever stop to think that I'd be able
to look in your eyes and say that im stable
Too late to, change my mind
Nothing Remains
I've silenced the pain
Don't tell me, that I am taking the easy way, OUT x2
Noooooo
No underlying message to figure out
What you got from me is what I put out x2
No one knew a thing about me
Just longing to be accepted
Wait till you see what I've become
My lifelessness x2
Too late to, change my mind
Nothing Remains
I've silenced the pain.
2. Save Ourselves
What a Shame, breaking Down
What is getting the best of you
Take a Breathm it's not complex
Im going to put your mind at ease
Innocent People are not meant to suffer
We're making negative energy power
This will be Our Truth
Can you feel us, we're stronger
We Pray on the Weak and conquer
No Longer care for those,
Who try to condemn and Oppose
We'll save Ourselves
You're afraid that Im right,
I know it eats you up inside
Well listen to me and you will see
You have to let those fears fly free
The only danger in the world is to be
Weak minded with insecurities
This won't be our truth
Can you feel us, we're stronger
We Pray on the Weak and conquer
No Longer care for those,
Who try to condemn and Oppose
We'll save Ourselves
Why do you fear everyone of us
Why do you hate everyone of us, you crush us
Why do we feel we are wasting our time
Go away, end this now
You need to get down off this cloud
Start focusing and Listening
And feel it's the time to change things
When Im alone, I don't feel hopeless at all
The day must come where we can stand tall
And this will be our truth
Can you feel us, we're stronger
We Pray on the Weak and conquer
No Longer care for those,
Who try to condemn and Oppose
We'll save Ourselves
3. Inside the Horror
A Blank Expression
Pales eyes wide cocked back
The sheer stagnation
Shame to all who thought this an act
The best years of this life
Felt wasted protecting a secret
Insecurities fed on like a rat
Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualise the horrors inside
Burning Sensation
To live just one day
In pure elation
Blame the ones who took this away
Can't provide shelter from
The dangers festering outside
Can't provide safety from
Monsters trapped within the mind
Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualise the horrors inside
Shake the hand of God
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun
The perception becomes weaker
The sun starts to fade away
The blank expression on the blade
Skin Calloused yet easy to pierce
On the floor, blood mixed with...tears
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualise the horrors inside
Shake the hand of God
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun
The perception becomes weaker
4. Salvation
Endless nights filled with misery
Sick of familiar patterns
Bruise after cut
Can't wash away my scars
This is the night of....Salvation
On the Night of Salvation
This life always pained me
Tired of the same old routine
All lies I've told
Can't hide the little things
This is the night of....Salvation
On the Night of Salvation
Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away
Adrenaline stronger than ever
Feel it all come together
On the Night of...Salvation
On the Night of Salvation
Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away
5. Comatose
I am the contant Chill
I am the Versatile one
I am the contant Chill
I am the Versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I am Inside
I am Constant Chill
That moves up and down your spine
I am the versatile one
That moves in and out your mind
I am the dark abyss
That hauntes before your prayers
And I am the nemesis
That haunts in your nightmares
You can feel when I am inside
And you know that
I control you
I enslave you
I destroy you and leave you comatose
I am the god you love
That moves in and out your veins
I am the addiction
That buries you in shame
You can feel when I am inside
And you know that
I control you
I enslave you
I destroy you and leave you comatose
I've wrapped these chains so tight
You can't break through
The smell of fear is so enticing
It's so inviting
There is nothing more that I love
Than to tear you apart
I am inside and you know that
I control you
I enslave you
I destroy you and leave you comatose
I've wrapped these chains so tight
You can't break through
I am the contant Chill
I am the Versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I leave you comatose
6. Left for Dead
Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
You said you loved him, then you put him away
"Till death do us part" means nothing to you
Greed has caused you to betray your family
Greed has caused you to become so jaded
We've got some news for you, every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillow in hell
You act like we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead
This is the only father we've had
Thrown away, left for dead
How could you choose money instead
Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
We've got some news for you, every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillow in hell
You act like we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead
This is the only father we've had
Thrown away, left for dead
How could you choose money instead
We will never forget that you're the reason
This sadness has overwhelmed us
This grief is too much to bear
How can we look you in the eyes
How could you ruin his life
After all the years of of joy he brought us
There is no 'we' anymore
There is no 'us' anymore
You will have to live your last days in infamy
How could you do this
How could you choose to have him
Thrown away, left for dead
This is the only father we've had
Thrown away, left for dead
How could you choose money instead
7. Everything You Love
Can't sleep with all this frustration, intoxication
I no longer have regret
So what If I cause hysteria, It's not my dilemma
Im only here to inflict pain
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day, I will retaliate
A thorn in my spine for ?(8) years
The Man who sheds no tears
I am here to expose you
All of the poison that you take
All people you violate
Your faith can't save you now
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day, I will retaliate
I am your family with the power
To end everything
Everything you love
You should be paranoid
I guess I no longer share this vision
I guess I have a new agenda
While you sink down into your hole
I am proud watching you lose control
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day,
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day, I will retaliate
I am your family with the power
To end everything
Everything you love
8. Bloodlust
Your true definition of me
Your idea that Im real
All of this is an illusion
Even though you can feel
My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realise
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A bloodlust, it's all I trust
No more boundaries to cross
There is nothing uncommon
Indifferent to the pain I've caused
This confession means nothing
My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realise
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A bloodlust, it's all I trust
This demon cannot be hushed
These cowards will all be crushed
No longer will I hide from them
My ways are set in stone
Nobody has ever known me
A life truly spent alone
Your true definition of me
Your idea that Im real
All of this is an illusion
Even though you can feel
My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realise
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A bloodlust, it's all I trust
9. Pray for All
Everything was perfect before I found my dream
You were the world to me
When I used to hate myself for trying
Now relying on you for direction seems so trite
Your attitiude was quick to change when you thought
One minute might go by without being sought
Who do you think you are, manipulator
How did it get this far
I will make you pay, pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you
I'll stop at nothing, don't doubt me
You've reined enough
The lies you've been telling, you've been caught
Your enemy is reality
Your fatal flaw, meeting me
I will make you pay, pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you
Pray for all the lives you've ruined
Everyone you have betrayed will watch you burn
Everyone you have betrayed will watch you burn
Everyone will watch you burn
I will make you pay, pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you
10. Lazarus
Eleven Five Ninety Four, Six Thirty morning
Woke up panicked, sweating, with a mouth full of vomit
No idea what could be wrong
Blew it off as this illness is common
Went back to sleep, then the phone rings
Fell to the ground
As the news was haunting...haunting
Lazarus ended his life, ungodly sacrifise, no reason why
Eleven Eight Ninety Four Six thirty evening
The first time we're seeing Lazarus unconscious
Dressed in the clothes he loved
Laid out with all of his favourites
The tears of so many friends
Look around, and this view was haunting...haunting
Lazarus ended his life, ungodly sacrifise, no reason why
Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to thank him
Never had a chance to watch Lazarus rise
Never had a chance to thank him
Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to say goodbye
Lazarus ended his life, ungodly sacrifise, no reason why
Never had a chance to say goodbye
