The Assailant
I'm tired of seeing, hearing those insolent acts Hollowed intentions infesting the human mind Corruption seeping from hearts of men Is there no God to set this aside Is there no way We build up this trust We build up this love It's all gone within A blink of an eye When we return to dust Buring to the crust Then it all comes back Running back to us Concealing your goodwill leaves you sleepless Your meaningless actions speak for you Expectations sprouting, strangling the restless Is this who you really are? Is that it? Our roots are rotten from within They will steal We will heal And they will steal again Betrayal entrenched, no longer a sin I tell you It's unreal Is there no God to change The way we love To change The way we all hate We build up distrust It's all justified When we return to dust Buried to the crust Then it all comes back to us Our roots are rotten from within They will steal We will heal And they will steal again Betrayal entrenched, no longer a sin I tell you It's unreal Is there no God to change Our roots rotten from within They will steal We will heal And they will steal again Betreyal entrenched, no longer a sin I tell you There's no one To change the way we love The way we all love The way we all love The way we all love The way we all hate

When the moment comes to light the way To stop the mourning, to slow the decay But you'll remember everything You've dragged yourself into this, clear as day Bash my head against a wall And I will beg you for more Way beyond feel, my nerves are sore Nothing satisfies me anymore Misomaniac tendencies That's not who I want to be Guilt trip over random thoughts But that's who I am I'm dwelling on thoughts that are far from fine And it's all on you Torn between acts divided by a thin line And it's all on you I'm dwelling on thoughts that are far from fine And it's all on you Torn between acts divided by a thin line I'm abashed by ideas that may define But they make sense Will they right these Misconceptions I'm torn I'm torn I'm torn I'm torn

You speak to hide the masks you wear All you gloat is to have it your way Tempest ablaze, curtains coming down What is left is what you are Your voice, reassuring You smile to manipulate Your eyes, compassionate You said you meant the best for us Cowering behind your face Your sincerity deceived all Stretched the moment meant to be Turned days into endless nights Your voice, reassuring You smile to manipulate Your eyes, compassionatе You said you meant the best for us Disconnеcted Fear respected Drifting through days Isolated Fear respected In fragments we reunite Was this what you wanted? (How could I know?) The world in flames, shattered (How could I know?) Now you're burning too Crackling sounds fill our ears (How could I know?) And the wind blows, relentless Carrying the consequence (How could I know?) Scarlet clouds, overcast All is lost in a whim Now there's no end And we're all adrift Purgatory Descending Down the earth

Should've embraced The ambiguity Denying the day's Ordinary chaos My eyes sewn yet I see Discomforting agony Seventy nine stitches Piercing into me I've become the assailant Watching over my creation Surrendering my absence of reality Feeble minds, calloused hides Bloodsucking parasites Severed ties, vile lies It's all dust in my eyes The needle loops one more time Threading my weary eyes shut Wildfire's burning Their cinder's soaring I feel the heat Under my bare feet I grab those embers And burn my eyes Into nothingness Yet still I see

All my excuses are slowly burning out In an ashtray, all smothered, dead Nothing to hide from when I'm alone In a dark room No one to prove myself to No judgement, oh god! My friend, everyone you love you hurt And now you hide in denial Behind illusory walls And your eyes roll backwards As you embark on a troubled coma Of self justifications With blithe and ignorance Yet guilt slithers into your mind Your fidgeting won't be saving you This is what you have been And this is where you are But how could you know It would turn out like this This is what you have been And this is where you are Your fidgeting won't be saving us This is what we have been And this is where we are Where ebb and flow loses it's haze Between nowhere and anywhere As the maple tree casts its shadow on us Where everything starts and ends
