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

Ire 04:18
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 04:40
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

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
