I can’t breathe
Take me back
Return my ignorance
or else I won’t survive
I can’t believe
this happened to me
All peace of mind is disturbed
The life I’ve known is restructured
This can’t be real
No, it doesn’t make sense
Is this a joke?!
Is it a joke at my expense?
I can’t breathe
Take me back
Return my ignorance
or else I won’t survive
How can anything matter now?
The essence of cause has been devoured
I can’t breathe
Take me back
Return my ignorance
or else I won’t survive
I can’t believe
this happened to me
All peace of mind is disturbed
The life I’ve known is restructured
Deafen my ears
Make me go blind
I want to lose myself
in a false reality of my own design
Shroud the madness in alluring veils
Distract with deception so things will stay the same

Is this it?!
This is wrong
It’s not the end I planned for
Change my fate or face my wrath
Tell me why
What is the reason for this affliction?
Why wasn’t I given any warning?
Tell me why
How can there be no second chance?
Who is there who will spare me this ending?
Don’t forsake me
Lost in a cold abyss
I never asked for this
Don’t forsake me!
Desolation is numbing
unanchored in endless nothing
It won’t end here
Abandon expectations of civility
I’m determined to survive
To see beyond this darkness
I’ll take an eye for an eye
The path to resistance illumined now
The one to pass judgment is I
Permeating limitless void burns
an eternal all-consuming fire
No mercy for innocents
in the wake of my inferno
Limits cease to exist
You never asked for this
Retribution is coming
unanchored in endless nothing
I am not afraid
to set it all ablaze
Unbridled flame
will dissipate
When pain has been
consumed by rage
The path to resistance illumined now
The one to pass judgment is I
Permeating limitless void burns
an eternal all-consuming fire
No mercy for innocents
in the wake of my inferno
Feel the shadows ignite
Witness the power of light
and the heat of my inferno
I’ve been destroyed inside
Now those who fail to hide
are consumed in my inferno

Futility

Had I been more than I claimed
Would it have ended the same?
Tell me there’s a chance
If another path was chosen
Could more years have been stolen?
Tell me there’s a chance
It cannot end like this
Something more can be done
No matter the cost or sacrifice
It can’t have been all for nothing
Tell me what is the cost
Name any price
Hold me in debt for
the rest of my days
Don’t leave me with nothing
I’m willing to pay
For one moment
To see you again
Had I been more than I claimed
Would it have ended the same?
Tell me there’s a chance
If another path was chosen
Could more years have been stolen?
Tell me there’s a chance
There must be a way
they can be saved
There must be a way
it can be saved
There must be a way
we can be saved
There must be a way
I can be saved
There must be a way
they can be saved
There must be a way
it can be saved
There must be a way
we can be saved
There must be a way
I can be saved
Tell me what is the cost
Name any price
Hold me in debt for
the rest of my days
Don’t leave me with nothing
I’m willing to pay
For one moment
To see you again

Desolation
03:43

Aimless in the void
Where am I going
when all paths lead nowhere
Waste of my voice
What more can I say
The cosmos have spoken
Go on without me
I’ve come to realize
my efforts are futile
Nothing can be done
The future is written
chosen for us
No desires
An empty vessel
Anchored in a moment
Surrounded by the flow of time
Waiting to reach the end of forever
Existing is exhausting
Focused on nothing within my sight
Gaze beyond the horizon
Unblind to the view
which offers no light
Apathy haunts me
It taunts without rest
No chance for elation
I am hopeless
Faking a smile from now
‘Til the end
For the rest of my life
I’m doomed to pretend
Joy seems to be
So far
So far beyond me
No desires
An empty vessel
Anchored in a moment
Surrounded by the flow of time
Waiting to reach the end of forever

Reconstruction

In this barren land enveloped in fog
To it’s desolation I’ve adapted
In this barren land I’ve found a canvas in which to birth a new creation
The nightmare has stabilized
Now a recurring dream
Intertwined with the waking world
Creating a new reality
An alternate life
To rebuild an identity
Forever my heart will be broken
For that which has been lost
I’m haunted by these the most
Memories of when you were near
Memories of the times I took for granted
Memories of when you were here Memories of the times I had forgotten
Don’t forget me if you can help it
Maybe one day we’ll meet again
Though I’ve abandoned all hope for my sake the desire will always be there
I’ll dry my eyes
I’ll stand tall in your memory
To be better than I ever was to you
To be better than I am for all
Within my redefined existence
In this barren land enveloped in fog
To it’s desolation I’ve adapted
In this barren land I’ve found a canvas in which to birth a new creation
In this barren land enveloped in fog
To it’s desolation I’ve adapted
