Chimerical Reality

Condemned to your darkest abyss What is this place that I cannot leave? Taken from me, my soul and psyche I was corrupted by thoughts of murder Locked in this cage, never to wander Welcome to damnation Welcome to your prison home Was the toll of sin worth all the risk? For eternity, engulfed by the flames of your absolute blunder Seething Unsettling anger consumes you Forsake all antecedent missteps Hubris has misguided you to this path Was the toll of sin worth all the risk? Was it worth to make the sacrifice Every ounce of what makes you whole Confined to this place I cannot leave Stolen from me, all my hopes and dreams Entranced by heinous deeds of murder Hideous, I've become by my rage This is a cry of forgiveness This is a cry for help Forever empty and hollow Every day is hell when you cannot dream Every day is hell when you cannot be

Under the sun There's a billion burning lives Under threat, under pressure internally By the thoughts of shame and regret Yet they push on until the sun sets Under the moon There's a billion chilling souls Freezing in agony Hopeful for the sunrise Despite distaste, all noses to grindstone Headstrong, yet we still bemoan In a single file line waiting for death Condemning ourselves To this hivemind sequencing One day at a time, counting down the hours til we reprise Forever selling our age for the optimal wage What is your life worth in gold? What is the cost of your own soul? A vicious cycle on repeat Condemning ourselves To this hivemind sequencing What is your life worth in gold? What is the cost of your soul? In quiescence we ponder The nature of living This state of being Locking ourselves away Confined in disarray Yet advocate the notion of freedom There's a billion burning lives begging for more There's a billion chilling souls begging for warmth What is your life worth in gold? What is the cost of your soul?

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Reanimate, invigorate From the soil my flesh is rebound Removing roots from skin An unearthly sight so profound My will is my own A testament written in stone Once maimed and circumscribed Even by death, I am denied No gods, no masters Behold, wicked disaster In life, naive and weak Through death, all knowledge bequeathed To understand my circumstance Is to understand the hell I've seen Betrayer You fuel the hate in my heart, exiled me to the dark Banished, yet through nefarious arts I return Betrayer You fuel the hate in my heart, exiled me to the dark From one murderer to another, I will see you in hell No gods, no masters Behold, wicked disaster Almighty recourse brought through destruction to my conscience Reborn by brick and mortar of another divinity I abide not by a shepherd's lies, I drum my own constant Feel the fucking pressure, be my own continuity

Save me from Derangement Distorted visions cloud my mind I cannot recollect Ego and intellect All sense of self fallen by the wayside Save me from destruction Sensory overload Chaos has been bestowed Save me from deception Is this reality Or is it make believe? Isolated In this moment Eyes dilated Destiny decided Fictional truth; a simulation We are born into a life we never asked to live in We are born into a life with no promise of eminence Why try, if everything dies? If tomorrow was our last day would we pray? This nightmare ends where it first began All alone Within the deepest depths of ignorance That which is not dead can eternal lie And with stranger aeons even death may die I'm breaking Everything I am Everything I want to be Feels like a lie Feels like a fever dream Chimerical reality, counterfeit scheme Betwixt the darkness and the light There is chaos misaligned Misfortune Festering within the shadow self; hidden Every direction there's calamity I cannot ascertain my being I'm breaking Save me from oblivion This world is a lie I'm breaking Everything I am Everything I want to be I'm breaking Everything I am Everything I want to be Feels like a lie

Dear father It's been nine years And I still see the hurt In your eyes Dear father I never understood What it meant To have to say goodbye From birth to adolescence From adolescence to now You taught me to be a man But now I don't know how I couldn't see The forest for the trees Never thought I'd see such sorrow Back then I thought it'd go tomorrow I remember the moment that you found That his fire was burning out I remember the moment That he was gone, gone forever I watched a man as tall as mountains Crumble apart I watched a man as strong as lions Lose all control There's only ghosts in the winter There's only floods when it rains We lament in memory Of love, life, and his history There's only pain in my heart There's only regret That I did not do my part In knowing the man that molded you The man who gave you a life so beautiful I don't believe in heaven or hell But I hope he's with his family now I don't believe in angels or god But I hope he's with your holy one How can you be my savior without your savior?
