1. Drowning
Disappointment, too often
Unforeseen contradictions of logic
And the struggle to understand
Why am I here? Living this suffering?
Time is the one that crushes my will
It is fleeting - the will to breathe again
Unknown reasons drive me to endure
Yes, I feel myself sinking
With the feeling that I've lost
Yes, I feel myself drowning
With nothing
Unneeded, unworthy of the things for which I strive
Unmotivated and weak, my limbs allow my drowning
Desperation Ceasing
I can only hope to find the answers sought
Perhaps folded in a shell
Or within the unproven myths
Remnants of endeavors - decapitated
Cut off at the knees
Whispering in the recesses of my loneliness
Have given forth and produced this pessimism
Numerous failings with mysterious sources
Lead to emotional waste
The state in which I remain
Despair, Unending
Despair, Never-ending
Forgotten soul
(I continue receding)
I've lost my heart
(Engulfed in a deluge of emptiness)
Rejected ideas of satisfaction in life
Running feverishly, yet standing still
My feet dig my grave
Dig my grave
Unneeded, unworthy of the things for which I strive
(I'm drowning, I'm drowning, I'm drowning)
Unmotivated and weak
(I'm drowning)
My Drowning
2. Lobotomized
Waiting in discomfort
For a chance at stability
Undermined by the desire
To release frustration
Deaf to the ways of the masses
I scoff at their limitless incapacities
And see myself shackled
Perhaps willfully
My mind is sometimes suffocated
By the strengths of weakness
Laughing at the standards
Shameful of the greed
Unbelieving
The acceptance of simplicity
Laughing at the standards
Shameful of the greed
Unbelieving
The acceptance of simplicity
Shielded by intelligence that sometimes hinders
The world is incompetent
The world is incompetent - but suggests the opposite
Allowed it to sway me I have
Lobotomized by Society - or from within
The procedure has taken with disregard
Lobotomized
Laughing at the standards
Shameful of the greed
Unbelieving
The acceptance of simplicity
Laughing at the standards
Shameful of the greed
Unbelieving
The rewarding of simplicity
Waiting in discomfort
For a chance at stability
Undermined by desire
Waiting in discomfort
To release frustration
Undermined by my own actions
Selfishness is the root of strength
Feeding my will
As it builds, I grow
Colder, colder
As it Builds, I grow
Colder, colder
Acceptance
Greed
Shameless hypocrisy
I've been lobotomized
3. Untold
Feel
Deep
Within
Deprivation
Is this some form of punishment
For evils past committed
Or only fuel for those of future?
What future?
Unseen by other men - pains I hold within
The cloak of feign has been long wearing thin
Unknown to them are my thoughts of could've been
So small a portion of the irritants under skin
I feel the nihility of life
Force through the pain, but what's to gain
Another day in which my hope is fading
Onward
Overwhelming sorrow persists in my mind
Looming, constant, unwelcome
Shadows growing longer, never feeling quite at home
Consciousness is not meant for me
Positive in nothing, the window falls to sill
Closing, cooling the warmth in me
Unable to hold faith in that which can't be true
What is there left for which to breathe?
Crushing hands whiten
Is this a good sign?
A sort of symbol of meaning?
Or only rage at my shortcomings?
Failure
Now plain to see is the despondency
The cloak of feign transformed into transparency
Dwelling on thoughts of never be
It's quite clear that winning will escape me
So tired of it all
4. Time To Kill (Overkill cover)
Violent indecision, surge of mass religion
Let me out of prison, I'm just killing time
Every time I turn around
I start to hear a familiar sound
Counting down as time stands still
Yes, I think it's time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
All the mental anguish speaks a common language
I have yet to lavish a chance to walk away
Every time I turn around
I start to hear a familiar sound
Counting down as time stands still
Yes, I think it's time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Unknwowing, unseeing -
Revelations unfold before your eyes
Relenting, repenting -
No time to think or comprimise
Time falling, time calling
Into a void and seal the past
You're waiting, annihilating
Making it real, making it last
Worn out comprimises inside out demises
See through all the lies, we don't walk away
Every time we turn around
Start to hear that familiar sound
New beginnings time stands still
Yes, I think it's time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
Time to kill
5. Read Between The Lies (Slayer cover)
Evangelist you claim God speaks through you
Your restless mouth full of lies gains popularity
You care not for the old that suffer
When empty pockets cry from hunger
Penniless from their generosity
Sharing their money to quench your greed
Searching for the answer to their prayers
They cry their last wish of need, save me!
His spirit lives and breathes in me
The almighty transformed to your screen
The meanings lost in its translation
No holy words, describe his deception
You say you'll help us find the Lord
Tell me preacher how do you know
A simple quest for a visible savior
To lead us through our final prayer, save me!
Send your donations, contribute to the cause
Luxuries, your righteous reward?
Praise the Lord, praise God
Is what you wish to sell
There is no heaven without a Hell
In your mind's eye could you truly believe
That by giving you can save your soul?
Could you be so naive?!
You heal the sick, you raise the dead
You blind the congregation
With the things you say
Religious blackmail a deceit of trust
That death will come and all will be lost
Can you hear the serpents call?
Look deep in those deceiving eyes
Ignore the writing on the wall
You should read between the lies
When doubt subsides his honesty
An inquiry, is it blasphemy?
Impure the soul, that's made to suffer
No sermons left to hide or cover
An empty promise, lie unfulfilled
To steal a dream or get it killed
They claim your trip to heavens nearby
You may believe it but Satan wouldn't lie
6. Divine Misery
