Disconnected 03:09
I am a machine Disconnected Shut off from the source of my humanity So quiet So calloused When will it return? When will I find it again Where is it hidden The source, my sustenance My shell is caving in, cracked at the foundation Devolving ever closer to systematic collapse Reconnect me x2 repair the man within I need to feel again Redirect me x2 Fashion my core with strength Give meaning to this Hopeless existence I am lost without you Surrounded by malfunction The self-induced virus setting in I've brought this destruction on myself (on myself) Pierce the framework of this machine Find the essence of what it means "to be" Pierce the framework of this machine Find the essence of what it means to be alive

Stories written and stories told All laid out before me What a cold night this is turning out to be At my feet lay paths blocked and broken And I know there's no way to return No turning back to the way from which I came This is my life This is here and now I don't have anything else (All I love is gone) This is what is real I wish it weren't so I wish it were all a dream I'd break my neck if I thought it would wake me up This is all I have A castle made of sand, waiting to collapse I wish it were just a dream I'd give anything just to wake up I know it's never going to change So I'll grit my teeth and bare it I'll take the weight of it all And I will not be crushed Refined by fire I will rise from the ashes and dust Nothing broken, wounds mended Cycle undone, pain ended I'd show what this world has left me with If there was anything to see Starting over with a clean slate I will rise I will rise I will rise, above this world, above it all I will rise, I will conquer it all

Control 01:52
take hold, regain control my knees lock as i plant my feet to the earth days slipping by losing progress in vain what does it take for a man to change the waves break against my back my spine shatters replace it with steel my heart withers so i rebuilt it with gears and wheels time is now in my hands i own it, i control it a thought planted in my mind breeding confidence and composure bending space shattered mirrors, and broken glass distorted reflections on the surface of water these are all just a shadow of me i only am who i choose to be take hold, regain control i own it, i control it

the culmination of my life before me fading into pale white silence wraps itself around me swept away in cold shivers and shockwaves send my body shaking gasping for air if this is the end then all i can hope for is purpose purpose in all of this

Imprisonment 02:46
eyes open to the morning's sun, but it's not easy waking up when everything you want to live for stayed behind in your dreams (avoiding your reality) and it's funny, all the things that i hate in you are the very things that i hate in me they haunt me like a sickness and shadow my every thought i'd cut them off and i'd carve you out but my blade is dull and bloody and theres no strength left to remove just skin to hide a broken man who's enslaved to you cut off from stability and stripped of motivation shackled to your remnant, servant to a ghost you are gone, i am alone yet i still feel your presence i hear your voice ringing out with such clarity and in the silence it becomes so deafening i can't take it anymore pen and paper intertwine only your name appears i retreat into my mind only to find you here i can't escape (there's no where left to run) there's no escaping this i'll cut you out i swear it, i swear it i'll cut you out

Innocence 03:49
Purity is lost. Submerged in guilt. What have I become? All of my love traded for lust I painted pictures of my future, but they never turned out like this I thought I'd be something more I thought age would bring enlightenment What can man do? Not to cease time But to hold on to one's self To prevent the decay of purity Turn back the clock No That time is gone And I know I'm not getting it back So I'll do what I can to make up for what's been lost Innocence is dead Revive it again Find yourself We are better than this While others wallow in filth I long to take the road less traveled Because I am searching for something that will last Something that I can take with me for the rest of my days We waste our lives Our efforts lead to nothing Investing ourselves in false reality Our words amount to nothing
