1. Degeneration Mode
Phobocide of a fragile mind
Unable to deal with strife
Submission to hopelessness
Questioning where it all went wrong
Over the years degenerate
Fall deep into absorbing pain
So much damage has been done
Long for understanding
(With) intimidation the past reveals
The fragmentation of forgotten wounds
Resentments never heal
So much trust misplaced in you
Submerged in black pain
And now we come full circle
Seething with contempt
Coarsened by fear
Undercurrent draws out
Containment breeds this behaviour
Penetrating consciousness
Relapse into primitive
Callous actions no regrets
So much damage done
Understanding never comes
2. Endless Human Failure
Blind painting walls white
Refuse deny the hurt inside
Reveal exposing inner self
Caught up in this grind
Weak so eager to play
Waste now left to contradict
Endless constant sickening greed
So material acquire every want
I see the weak
Futile attempts
Resisting within
Deny the hurt
Create building fears of weakness
Close shut the mind to recrimination
Realize cornered into hopelessness
Force learn to walk on paint
Drown in warped repressions
Strain becomes unbearable
Nothing left but weakness
Condemned to struggle helplessly
3. Disruption
Tearing within
Suffocating bloodspill
Hurts to be like this
To be caught in between
Feeling like emptiness
(A) darkening inside
Shattered by indifference
Nothing left to hold
Questioning this barricade
Holding back the reason
Solitude is threatening
Time to face the truth
Scrape up what is left
Desensitized within
Hopelessness remains inside
Damage beyond repair
Feeling within
The leaving within, (now) bleeding again
Feeling the emptiness
Darkening inside
Shattered by indifference
Covered with scars
Emasculated by circumstance
Glorify the degradation
Sick of suffering
Damaged but not to care
4. Empty Mental Room
Hiding inside
Behind strained walls
Faceless life
Control is now gone
Your world turns gray
Faceless
I have become
Faceless
Your control is gone
Frozen body lifeless
Hopeless
Your hopes are gone
Your world turns black
Faceless
You have become
Hopeless
All your hope is gone
Lifeblood will drain
Stripping away my soul
Your world is dead
Faceless
All has become
Hopeless
5. Stranglehold
Penetrate this barricade
Caustic feelings dissipate
Smothered by the burning
All compassion drains
Crawling is unforgettable
Humiliate my sympathy
Crawling is unforgettable
(The) need to escape
So painfully aware
Crawling is unbearable
Recede into fragility
Damage becomes irreparable
Need to escape
>From this stranglehold
Reveal the pain of damaged walls
Once so secure now let me fall
Crawling is unforgivable
Reinforce my humanity
Crawling is unforgivable
Inner wounds now bleed
6. Nothingness
You are nothing
Stand there... criticize
Envy will blind
Weakness divides
You are soulless
Realize the hate
Let it surface
Without reason
All is left cold
7. Helpless To Habit
Fear (of) the insecure
Threatening to stop
Disillusioned
Too easy to crush
All colors fade (away)
Helpless in this broken thought
Can't get enough
Dependence now controls
Suffocate
The crash will involve
One who has been crushed
Helpless in broken thought
Incapable of trust
Escape to habit
Running doesn't solve
Can't get enough
The pain begs for more
Now as if not there
Agreement has dissolved
Too east to crush
Dependence now controls
8. Burning
Breathe you in (and) suffocate
Regression comes easily
Feelings torn indifferently
Taken with calm hopelessness
And images of burning
Swallowed by depression
Memories remain clear
Lost within the suffering
Numbed by perfect gain
You can't breathe... suffocate
Through fire walk with me
The burning is impossible
Recollection brings misery
Confusion breeds fear
Separation becomes painful
Anxieties have manifest
Emotions become dispensable
Weakness brings me back
Again
