Whispers cut through silent air
Leaving the night without words to speak
Stuck in a trance like an undertow
Sweeping the ground right from under my feet
Holding hope to an empty cause
Feeding me more than I can stand
Now I'm just an empty box, whose lid has shut and fallen locked.
Functioning on my misery!
Only I can let it be!
Through this struggle the noise becomes a burden
and every breath feels so heavy
Dissipated, overhwlemed and defeated
Smitten with a guilty conviction
Searching for the answers when I know
I am diluting myself
These questions I have keep on building up
If I look real hard I'll find exactly what I need
What will become of me?
The monster of your dreams...
Label me something that you despise
Just because you do not understand
Each day I suffer I realize
My life is a fucking wreck
They've pushed me way too far this time
Please just listen when I say that I am
Functioning on my misery!
Only I can let it be!
Why can't they just stop judging me?
Fearing things they cannot comprehend
Descending into a hollow existence
Where nothing is what it seems
I'm holding hope to an empty cause
And look at what it's done to me

Why won't you stop this? You're bending the ties
I'm caught in your loathing, and tormenting lies!
Trying so hard to breathe again
But you won't let me, how can I mend?
I'm dying, fading away.
This is for real, thought you were my friend
It's catastrophic, I know you see it
But you still don't care, and you don't give a shit!
My eyes are open, now I'm seeing; the smoke is clearing, so here I am
Revenge has consumed your heart, and I'm starting to see inside
You've tried to break me! It's my turn to fight back
Playing the role you've forced me into
Has take it's toll, then ruined my life
All these years of compromise! Mean nothing to you
So get the hint.
Make a move, or run away. The choice in yours, so let me hear it.
It's diabolic, forever crushing you push me again
And I'll let you have it!
Make you realize today, that I am done!
And I'm never coming home again
Revenge has consumed your heart, and I'm starting to see inside
You've tried to break me!
It's my turn to fight back!
Cold! Heartless!
Empty Silence!
Take this love from my eyes, just so you can taste revenge; it's killing me
I am done with you...you fucking ruined my life!
And I'm never ever coming home again!

I've found a way to destroy myself
Deeper and deeper I'm sinking in
I've found a way to redeem myself
I dread the thought of believing in fate
Inside! (I begin to fall apart)
Tearing! (My soul to emptiness)
Sifting through the ashes of broken hope and lost dreams
Searching for the remnants of my past fantasies
The past reminds me of where I am without the lessons I have learned
I wouldn't be this man today things are changing all around me
I guess that I will have to change I can't escape the thought of death
Please just take this burden from me so I can die another day
Keep on trying, but I'm still fading
Time is racing, when is my end
Letting go of everything
I'm so helpless just come and take my pain
Sifting through the asked of broken hope and lost dreams
Searching for the remnants of my past fantasies
Cant get these thoughts out of my head just want live a normal life
until my time expires... I just want to live a normal life, can't get these thoughts out of my head. ... Until my time...expires!
I am collapsing, becoming unstable
As the clock is winding down I feel the shadow over taking me
Life just isn't what it used to be, pulled in directions which I can't escape.
I think my time has come.
Sifting through the ashes of broken hope and lost dreams
Searching for the remnants of my past fantasies
The past reminds me of where I am without the lessons I have learned
I wouldn't be this man today things are changing all around me
I guess that I will have to change I can't escape the thought of death
Please just take this burden from me so I can die another day
Keep on trying, but I'm still fading
Time is racing, when is my end
Letting go of everything
I'm so helpless just come and take my pain
I've found a way to destroy myself
Deeper and deeper I'm sinking in
I've found a way to redeem myself
I dread the thought of believing in fate

Present Yourself

Present yourself to the opposition
Time to reveal the imperfection
No need to feel disgraceful
For it's only what you've become
I know it's uneven, I know it won't subside
This test is far from over, no knowing what to expect
Overcoming this instability on your hands and knees
Wishing Gods could hear your distress falling upon ears deaf
Overcoming this presentation
No time left for these imperfections
I will not feel disgraceful
For this is not what I've become
Overcoming this instability, on my hands and knees
Wishing God could hear my distress, falling upon the ears deaf
I know it's uneven, I know it won't subside
This test is far from over, no knowing what to expect
Pushing it all aside! Gripping the lies you hide!
Over and over again! Knowing it won't subside!
Overcoming this presentation
No time left for these imperfections
I will not fell disgraceful
For this is not what I've become!
Overcoming this instability, on my hands and knees
Wishing God could hear my distress, falling upon the ears deaf
I know it's uneven, I know it won't subside
This test is far from over, no knowing what to expect
You come to me, with bitterness
Attack my sanctity, malevolence put to rest
Fight!
I won't present myself...anymore...anymore!

Wait for the end of existence
The fires are burning bright
With profound delusions of grandeur
At bay we beg for mercy
A solution with no problems
Jumping to my certain death
Using anger to break the silence
A weapon of devastation
In the heart of my adversary
Spreading it's blood-soaked wings
This monster that made me
Will now be slaughtered
Will now be exhausted
The lights are fading black
Terror invades my simple mind
Accepted that I'm in too deep
I've got to get myself through this web
The hand had stricken me!
Confronting this demon, once again
My strength is ready to take it on
Preparing to engage in distress
With the power rising, I must prevail
I must endure
Wait for the end of existence
The fires are burning bright
With profound delusions of grandeur
At bay we beg for mercy
A solution with no problems
Jumping to my certain death
Using anger to break the silence
A weapon of devastation
In the heart of my adversary
Spreading it's blood-soaked wings
This monster that made me
Will now be slaughtered
Will now be exhausted
Will now expose the truth!
I die, you die, we die, you are my adversary!
