The
Aftermath
confined
in great deceit but there is nothing you can do because i've
realized one very simple thing you are wasting in a waking dream what have i done i'm turning into me
because i'm trapped within the aftermath try to
accept the past the end the triumph avoids us as it is destined trapped in the
aftermath clutching to memories you've sacrificed all the thoughts existing in
others you can't speak to the blind what is left here the defied look so weak
so do i nothing's equal to the mind mystery of a time
consequential villified disbelief in the mind make me
evil
the
never-ending fields of emptiness you seek to find your way and search for the end on the
cold surfaces of dirt packed below you fail to grasp the past visions you
behold the memories that haunt your past are still unfolding it never seems to
end the year of affliction stains so deep to live through such despair when
it's over strained existence i can't believe it's
true the never-ending fields how are you gone, how can this be real?
i witness the grace of destruction as it tears
through my life distance of the rift that absorbs us chaos rains from the sky
my name is cynical obsession i don't know who i am or why i am here you're just
another desparation and your frustration's just
eclipsing your fear you've got to change your direction they don't know who you
are they won't know your name you've got to face the infection caught in the
aftermath you won't have to change you have a chance to redeem it embrace
the aftermath as you lose your life you're just a mask of your secrets in death
bereft with an intangible time
The
Silhouette
deceptive incision is all you speak is it illusion is it
reaching for me? this hollow memory this distant face instilled you'll see when
i look back it's like one long day it's over now i fade away the silhouette of the guilt is strained it's
over now i break the frame fatal mistakes led to
your dismissal from the maze you cannot turn away the time is moving forward
you can never see the desparation all existence drift
away today i left it all behind because i know now what i have to do to
fix my mind tomorrow's not promised to a single one of us so now i'm letting you go to drop into darkness it's time to
disregard and break the ending fight 'til the very end to one day chase the
night again choices i hear the voices taught again
and hinging in decent it's all painted against colors of the future sun so
bright one glance through the windows of this place will take you from the day
when you felt like everything was set in place change incisions in the frame
when no one's left to blame and the face the place the time erased left with a
silhouette
Fall
there
could never be another way standing with the fading ancients falling yet again i feel the stormclouds washing
over takes it all away with rain fading back to the failure that i breathe deep and out 'til i
believe name of the chosen so relentless as it goes to believe this downfall in
the end embrace the cost along the way the lifeless sufficed with a grave on
the inside it's built for us you're soulless your life won't be saved and
what's beautiful's built to fall still running
down that path not paved to be the way you want the one that haunts you vacant
and hollow the pain that you've swallowed torment so slow mindset corrodes
mindset of hate fall before your empty grave the timeless confined by the
day and you'll never see night again the stories you've left never change and
what's beautiful's built to fall vacant silent
dormant i can't see the truth in the way that we
abuse ourselves just take me with you to the place in your dreams where you
shield your eyes the light igniting i can't discern
right from wrong another life it's been so long turbulent contortion isn't real
covering another tragic memory revealed
Shadows
of the Black Sky Portrait
i look deep and i see myself through the eyes of a scene
re-created now to my eyes it's as good as real in the night see the branches
swaying the night wind is piercing cold and through my pupils the story is told
marvelling at the slight motions the burning light
deciphers notions immerse yourself in the shadows black visions break me
down and burn the pieces feel so lost you will never find painted things all
i hear is the cold wet morning until the night is
changing the light is blinding the deep unknown where i
reach it's forming the sight is changing the plight is binding to feel the
sentiment portrayed here you must give up your hope and embrace your fears what
can you see? what can you breathe? just reach for it
and claw to grasp it pull the portrait into your mind immersed within the
confines of one time eliminate the trace exist in the design the bright essence
flaws me the dark movement draws me in the shadowscape
i try to pull away is this the answer?
What
Brought Us to the High
waking to
another dream broken soul in scenes within i scream
in darkness echoes rampant drifting through the endless skies i just try to feel something that can be real cold serenity
locks me away secrecy serenity digging deep within the confines of your lies
you might find somewhere what brought us to the high the termination of the
time beyond despair as the rain hits me like boiling sweat but there will never
be another care i feel the warmth flow throughout
purpose holds fast as it enacts your true arrival to decimate your instincts
removing self from self so wise as darkness falls on you change in atmosphere
shakes a quake beneath the ground betrayal by the bomb that speaks it leaves
her on the ground changing the constant stakes this quake this rupture sound
the red surrounds you feel so weak escape this dying town just give me one more
answer to these never-ending questions just give me one more reason that i should care about the fear just tell me why i should care trudging toward the aftermath surprise
arrives from the sea but you could never resist the tides and now you open your
eyes sinking to despair it's just turning into hate heal the constant claws
ripping in and tearing out my heart
Red Moon
Rise
the red
moon is rising and it never seems to end my blood's still flowing it's not easy
to see you descend the red moon is rising and it brings a disastrous toll the
sun sets but never lets the past to be lost in my soul still blind to the worst
within you fading back from the emptiness a red essence makes me justify to
conceal your fate i feel the phantom's fingers it
still takes me makes me realize that i walk
through the never and i walk through the land and i walk through that empty place you can't understand i walk through the never i walk
through the land i feel the phantom's fingers i see the red moon rise you cross it once but you may
never cross again the river's pact that you're betraying from within red sky
over timeless mourning the red moonlight's path is intersecting with the throne
see the red moon rise again 'til it all burns down it still breaks me straining
through my life a red essence makes me realize the red moon's arrival turning
back another night the claws that hide in the moonlight are tearing at my mind the
dark fears of ever-lasting guilt time and time again the etchings carved and
charred inside destined exception
Negative
Zero
disconnect
from the avalanche crashing ...silence... waiting for the day and you will
never feel safe here until your life has faded away i
find myself in the misery zone instincts of a suffering call withstand the
breaking core one more time and i doubt that you
could see my face why does it have to end like this? how
can you reach to my dark place when you were never around? it confines hold the
knife into me when all your hope feels washed away you reach negative zero
this illusion is becoming strange you count the growing ways that the rage
controls you when all your hope feels washed away you've reached negative zero
disillusion is becoming strange you count the growing ways that the rage
controls you pulled from below just where will this plight take me? i'll never know the right fate
that might mistake me i'm made of fear when every
last breath avoids me i'll disappear i tell myself i tell
myself again
BloodshedRedemption
the
virtuous defied days of what you fail to no avail i
move on no innocent ending the vilest i've confessed
soul-the basis undefined and still alive haunted by this vision from my past
the frames of gray i feel the pain it's taking me
over take away the symbols of your fields of gray the symbols bearing formal
exhibition at the strike dead end tides are turning fire-the next revenge until
you've been sufficed with bloodshed and redemption doused in vengeance feel the
blood fall through my fingers taking taking break
away from care a waking stare-it validates return to burn these phantoms from
distant seas i'm back to redeem i
see the blood and hate runs through these burning veins drenched in regret no
questioning the death quest of fate red dead revenge and it's over
Normalcy
so why am i here? disaster sequence it still feels
like i see the sorrow in you it makes me realize that
i'm doomed prestigious glass will fill this room as i shatter each piece i shake
regret it consumes me from the inside to look back at all of those days is this
the end? the final visions? from
here my perspective is so clear the world in my hand is revolving i can't effect this impending; resolving why did i turn around and try to tell someone else how to feel? are these minute distortions to the normal mind even real? is that one shape unlike the others in any way? are illusions taking hold? is this
just normalcy? i cannot try to break what is in tact
such normalcy just fades in the face of the fact that i
feel my body slipping away into the background-dissipate realization into
realist basis of this creation lost in the rift and what's out i cannot try to break what is in tact such normalcy just
fades in the face of the fact that i feel
my body slipping away into the background dissipate the manifestation into
realist basis of this creation is this really human? is
it something in the fold of this timeless feeling? the
escape route into my soul stasis of replacement is fact do we have our true
intentions in tact? no.
From
Beyond
did it end or just begin-the memory you're trapped within? the changing you can't separate.. so
silent you can't break away endure another tragedy am i
bereft or just betrayed? another moral from the start brought to the truth and
ripped apart in the grip of reality so sudden such finality the shattered
remnants of your time 'til death the threads of fate defied you've tried to
break them for so long now you're already so far gone and i'm
still here just waiting for morning light to dawn but i
know that it's hopeless i've lived in
darkness my whole life in death you might know what it's like this sorrow has a
vicious bite i've tried to tell you but you're far-gone
waiting for morning light to dawn this memory is never gone from beyond
it's thrown away and left behind and now foretold disastrous signs have grown
into a frenzied beast captive in torment and released face the troubled skies
death's in view drift in a gray fate lost in truth my failing judgment guides
me through fail to find the way left and doomed failed on my own volition
echoes of what you said to me will be forever silent you can't break away you
can't face this day it's all destined the question's confession
