Why do we subject ourselves
to such treachery?
we’re only happy
when living in fantasy
this brand new world in our heads
that we have access to
is simply lying to us
our foundation combusts
Your character fades away
gradually from the choices you’ve made
screaming in pain, been begging for brighter days
hollow, weathered mind
flawless by design
you try but it never feels enough
to release you from the hell above
if it chose you, it knows you, it wants you to go through this
Carry the burden of hatred
living with purpose, complacent
do we deserve this innocence?
Under the surface, imminence
Separated through the afterlife
Will we ever meet again?
Fragile faded soul in paradise
Will I see you on the other side?
All this pain that I am feeling
is my soul patiently healing, healing
Heal my spirit
Heal my spirit
Separated through the afterlife
Will we ever meet again?
Fragile faded soul in paradise
Will I see you on the other side?
See your memories for the final time
Can you learn to live again?
Fragile faded soul in paradise
Will I see you on the other side?
I am subdued
my character begs to subdue itself
unaware of the blessing it brings
screaming for some form of solace
blind to the subliminal bliss
sabotaging our own lives
wearing a unique disguise
killing ourselves to survive
we’ve all been waiting to die
waiting to die
Killing ourselves to survive
The burden of burden
of this of which I’m certain
You stand on the precipice of this
cruel sensation of fire
The ultimatum of your memories
suddenly everything feels so real
Prepare your mind
for the f*cking tragedy
that life will become
our time was short
just barely a memory
we’re counting the days
Prepare your mind
for the f*cking tragedy
that life will become
our time was short
just barely a memory
we’re counting the days

GLOBE ROT

Hands behind my back
Nowhere to turn
Helpless, forced to watch the world burn
I cannot bear to witness them drown each other
Poisoning of the dying breed
Consuming the disease we feed
Brace for descent
As they all fall around you
Community is radicalised
Harmony is bastardised
Brace for the start of the end
As we are swallowed in smoke
Community is radicalised
Harmony is bastardised
Rot, inside out from the disease you feed
Rot, decay, the world crumbles away
Rot, away the fabric, it devastates
Rot, away the walls of the home that you’ve made
Patiently, we wait for our lives to change
We’re better off alone until we figure it out
And when you figure it out
They’ll happily dig your grave
Because the burden lies on you
No pressure, just figure it out
No pressure, just figure it out
No pressure
The burden lies on you
We are a spec in the ocean
Particles in motion
Devastating suffocation
Makeshift paradise
See it all before your eyes
Come to find it was just a disguise
We are witnessing
Brand new reckoning
Aimlessly, floating softly in an empty space
Nothing stays, our silhouette fades
Hopelessly, drifting in water as it rises above
Nothing below with hell above
Floating softly in an empty space
Nothing stays, our silhouette fades
Drifting in water as it rises above
Nothing below with hell above
Rot, inside out from the disease you feed
Rot, decay, the world crumbles away
Rot, away the fabric, it devastates
Rot, away the walls of the home that you’ve made

TEMPESTAS

Welcome to a distorted world
of purity in a society
of hate-riarchal sounds
from your bitter rival’s mouths
existing, harbouring no matter
retrograde, a living disaster
circling the drain, repeat the pattern
all your hopes and dreams could simply shatter
Are we meant to feel like everything feels the same?
‘cause nothing stays if you’re wasting away
the cycle repeats
the cycle repeats
losing my mind for the last time
the cycle repeats
choosing to live in isolation
the cycle repeats
why? why?
we never find the reasons
why? why?
we’re passing with the seasons
why? why?
we never find the reasons why
why? why?
we’re passing with the seasons
We’ve become a distorted image of ourselves
All my life, I have seen what I wanted to be
Some how I have found a new reality
I wanted to trust you
I wanted to feel release
This cynical craving
All of my desires
But not what I needed
Broken, I retreated
Those days had repeated
But I proceeded
Hollow shell, what have you taught me?
I turned into someone else
This hollow shell, what have you taught me?
What do you have that I don’t?
Broken Bones, do you feel disconnected like I do?
Do you hesitate before living at all?
Do you feel at all?
seconds away
waiting for the moment of satisfaction
when reality is weighing up all your actions
if you never even stopped to just imagine
all of the things that could have been
it’s testing you, getting the best of you
making a mess of you, making a spectacle
running away won’t get you far in the long run
no forgiveness for what you’ve done
euughhh
no forgiveness for the things you’ve done
that you’ve done
will this affect who you become?
delusion was sublime
ignoring all the signs
divided, from the ones next to us
Just like that, I slowly turned to rust
blind-sided, a feeling so treacherous
deleted, our very own exodus
why? why?
we never find the reasons
why? why?
we’re passing with the seasons
why? why?
we never find the reasons why
why? why?
we’re passing with the seasons
All my life, I have seen what I wanted to be
Somehow I have to find a new reality
I wanted to trust you
I wanted to feel release
This cynical craving
All of my desires
But not what I needed
Broken, I retreated
Those days had repeated
But I proceeded
plagued with emotion, we suffer
through all the thunder and the lightning
plagued with emotion, we suffer
through all the thunder and the lightning
through the dark times, I can see the stars align
in hopes I can find, the time and space to design
In a world where I can reside
a existence, so benign
Before we reach the other side
I will collide with the sky
Hung out to dry but I can feel the rain
Drenched in the sadness, illuminating ray
We are long forgotten, seconds away
we’re passing with the seasons
we never find the reasons
we’re passing with the seasons
we never find the reasons why
