Insect Song
Why is it always so damn hard When your walls of reason fall apart Don't know what's right or wrong Been drinkin' all night long, guess I was doomed right from the start, yeah! Utopia is what I crave But every day just stays the same In this world I've walked alone, now it's time to sell my soul And sleepwalk to an early grave Fleshengine breakdown Fleshengine breakdown give me what I need Will I see the light and spot the error of my ways Will I see the light and purify my poison veins Not tonight that's for god damn sure Now that all is said and done I'm burnin' bridges one by one Ironically brought to an end at the hand of my one true friend That sorry bastard never sleeps Fleshengine breakdown Fleshengine breakdown Will I see the light and spot the error of my ways Will I see the light and purify my poison veins Will I see the light and spot the error of my ways Will I see the light and do it all just one more time?

Arise, arise and face the day head on, these shattered wings still trying to heal So I slip into another skin, erasing forward progression And stumbling across these boundaries again Am I me or has he been dissolved? Infected with the world's disease still singing to the insect song So I endure at what a cost, put a price on my sanity So hard to find body and mind Both of which consumed by slow decay What I need is so elusive Antidote for the incurable Living in fear of what the future brings Inject it into my life--the cure for this heartache Inject it into my life--a moment of clarity Inject it into my life--the reason to live one more day 'cause my will is fading Can you feel it? As the day now turns to night I can feel my wounds begin to mend I must preserve my strength 'cause with the dawn they come again So I slip into another skin, erasing forward progression And stumbling on these boundaries again Am I me or has he been dissolved like the sun in my night Vicious circles burning up inside Feel the pressure of falling apart What I need is so elusive Antidote for the incurable Living in fear of what the future brings Inject it into my life--the cure for this heartache Inject it into my life--a moment of clarity Inject it into my life--the reason to live one more day 'cause my will is fading

So I travel on this road of emptiness another day As I hold these dust cloud dreams an instant fore they're blown away Could it be all this life's for is suffering? 'Cause the sea is deep and I'm drowning in all the tragedies So I bleed maybe once or twice to rid the seeds from my veins The seeds that harvest the pain, all the pain of my darkest days And I've waited long enough for these things to change So I'll have no regrets before I take the blade As I lay down for the last time and leave all emotions behind Thinking not of the ones I'm leaving Just the hurt and the pain inside Oh the wait is over, letting go tonight The end of life is calling, echoing my fall from grace But I fear what lies ahead as my heart stops beating The change of life after death.

Why can't I feel the life that I breathe? Why am I so consumed? Despair the face of every strain my thoughts are weak and torn Reap what you have sewn The flame that burns my heart is blown I wear a face that hides my pain amidst my world of anger How much longer can I remain, behind this mask of the damned As I walk along this bacchanal of sin It allows the darkness of my soul to fester within Reap what you have sewn My faith in life is gone This world prepares a feverfeast that feeds the beast Governed by the wayward souls of forgotten worlds My world prepares a feverveast that feeds the beast Spoken by the wayward souls, their forgotten words I bide my time awaiting one final chance to reflect on the past Of this disease I call my life As I walk along this bacchanal of sin It allows the darkness of my soul to fester within Reap what you have sewn, my faith in life is gone This world prepares a feverfeast that feeds the beast Governed by the wayward souls of forgotten worlds My world prepares a feverveast that feeds the beast Spoken by the wayward souls, their forgotten words.

I reflect the light, I'm that god damn noose so warm and tight I'm buried in a gallery of failures I'm the fluid in your veins The black star in your blood red sky And I'm stricken with a mouthful of poison I am one with misery Is someone out there 'cause this life is killing me So I try to see the light With my demons begging me to die How can I trust the light? Come take all this hate, come and burn it away Be the one that I crave, redeemer, be the one that could save I'm the bastard in your cries, the one who's always crucified All alone, so self destructive An appetite that won't subside Tragedies that multiply And still feeding that goddamn addiction I am one with misery Someone be there, life is killing me How can I be bound to this pain How can I be bound to this fate God damn you!! God damn you all!!! Come take all this hate, come and burn it away Be the one that I crave, redeemer, be the one that could save.

Can you taste it on your lips The sweet mutation overflows Ever wanting to be like them Can you hear it in the air The sound of progress and its whore Infiltrating all we know All we know... The ants go marching one by one To a grave as yet undug A poison mind begets its host Now he stands unbroken The traveler sees his fate And still he wants to be like them ...be like them Waiting in line for the vaccination Destination, annihilation Foreclosure by the fever that brings The truth behind the lyrics they sing You're forced to be like them?! Reencoding the DNA A new species still unnamed Distorted past gave birth to them From here on out it's in our blood And you know it won't be long Before you hear the insect song! ...before you hear the insect song! Waiting in line for the vaccination Destination, annihilation Foreclosure by the fever that brings The truth behind the lyrics they sing.

This track is instrumental.
Closed eyes that walk among us, building castles in the air Lost in degeneration, absence in all you know Shed skin to hide reflection leaving no trail behind Neck deep in contradiction Forked tongue behind the smile Making its way in the dark About to decide which way to go A life of disdain, a world left unchanged Condemned to swim against the grain The sun sets on existence, as one drowns in the flow The bending sea forever circles around us all We've built a culture where ignorance is bliss Brought unto this world human inflicted Why should we fall to the masses each day? Why did we come this far to just turn back anyway? We're auditioning for our own demise, and immune to the screaming So tie me up alone, far from the system hold I feel no patience, I see no cure Evolved in reverse Rise, fall...it's your choice How did it all come to this??? I want to know why...

I breathe the absence of life, in a part of every breath I take Inhaling afterthoughts of ruin...and regret So no hope remains as I take another glass of pain And I swallow knowing things will stay the same I see that everything has gone so wrong for me And I wait and see if I can welcome back the light I'm following the suffering And the ones that never heal They're a part of me and I can't just leave them behind So I cry these acid tears, as I weep for those like me The ones whose apathy, ahderes them to this fate So I lie awake and the bottle always calls my name With an offering that I cannot refuse Who will come to taste the quality of despair It's so sweet that I enjoy it time and time again is it charity that calls to me selling fragments of her soul Is a part of me foolish enough to indulge When the time comes let the blow come quickly and the blood run red I worry not 'cause I'm already dead So I'll not speak my last words For I've already said enough Their painted on the walls So will you bleed for me And together we will cross the sea Two for the ferryman to take our souls across I see that everything has gone so wrong for me And I wait to see if I can welcome back the light Following the suffering for the best parts of my life Now your rid of me But I'm not the only one.

Have you ever stopped to think About these moments in between Concerned not with life While existence stands at the edge of a knife We eat the lies, then drink and dance to the insect song No promise of a better day as empty words get washed away Can't stop the bleeding in my head Can't stop the pain Can't stop this world that we've deranged Can't stop the burning from within Ever stopped to think Our one guarantee in life is death Man made end in sight Bite down, go without regrets Can't stop the bleeding in my head Can't stop the pain Can't stop this world that we've deranged Can't stop the burning from within In a final moment, when a restless tide begins to turn The ones will realize that the final lesson...can't be learned Ever stopped to think About these moments in between Could you only make for one more What the fuck would it be??? Can't stop the bleeding in my head Can't stop the pain Can't stop this world that we've deranged!!!
