Clarity, don't let me down now Clarity, don't let me down Clarity, don't let me down Clarity, don't let me down You're killing me Disgrace to my flesh and blood My pain didn't say enough Here and gone Burned into the songs The legacy has come undone You said you didn't deserve this That my truth struck a nerve Well, I meant every word I was disregarded Dragged my skull to the curb You fucked me up again Mind inanimate, uncompassionate As if I hurt you for the thrill of it But you're deaf, sеlf-entwined My history is being undеrmined Clarity, don't let me down now Clarity, don't let me down You're killing me Make of me, your scapegoat Pull me to the shadows Hold me ransom in chains Cut out my tongue and curse my name I'm the lamb of sacrifice for your mistakes Lead me to the slaughter, now we're at a stalemate Blame it on the past, tell me we're condemned Nothing's going to change, we're already dead Clarity, don't let me down now Clarity, don't let me down You're killing me

Re-emerging as a monster Re-emerging as a monster An imposter out of lifelines Manning a dead mind Abomination I'm a slave to blame Trying to hide my shame Now I'm growing numb In the burning sun Abomination Re-emerging as a monster An imposter out of lifelines Manning a dead mind Lifeless, I'm a barren desert Void of self-belief Tired desires are dying in the heat I'm a slave to blame Trying to hide my shamе Now I'm growing numb In the burning sun Abomination Re-emеrging as a monster I'm an imposter out of lifelines Manning a dead mind Abomination I'm a slave to blame Trying to hide my shame Now I'm growing numb In the burning sun Abomination

Listen, feel, keep your lips sealed Nothing's real beyond your ideals Hold it in, shed a new skin Contamination, sent into a head-spin It doesn't have to be poetry That doesn't mean that it can't speak If it's forged in sincerity The message is ours to bleed Tell me what it means to you, keep it that way We're never gonna feel the same and that's okay Have no shame Listen, feel Nothing's real Hold it in What are you suppressing? There's no good, no bad, just the connection To the sound, got lost in thе reflection Left you bound Outsidе your true intentions Cursed with endless, worthless questions Tell me what it means to you, keep it that way We're never gonna feel the same and that's okay Have no shame Just breathe in, savor the taste It's healing, break down the gate With no restraints Embrace Just breathe in, savor the taste It's healing, break down the gate With no restraints Embrace

Turn me into a battery If I get to be who I wanna be No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy The truth or a lie, this painting of thought Black and white lines, vividity drawn Don't drown me in a sea of machines Don't drown me in a sea of machines Call me back in Turn me into a battery If I get to be who I wanna be No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy "...to say yes, it may be a game, but it's a ghastly game, it's a grim game. It's like a child who's caught a fly alive and is picking the wings off it. The universe is that sort of scheme. It's a trap. It's the thing that gives you hope, always dangling possibilities in front of you to keep you going but then it grinds you up. Then it revives you a little like a master torturer, keeping a person alive in order to experience pain." Call me back in No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy No "One", no prodigy Will speak for me I can't touch, I can't feel A false prophecy Turn me into a battery Turn me into a battery

I've finally opened my eyes I think I needed the time Needed to lose my mind To find my way to the surface I didn't see the signs Thought I was doing fine Turns out that I was blind A lie had burrowed deep into my soul My spirit exploding Chaos fire, infinite release In pieces I'm falling A life I can't repeat My spirit exploded And I picked up the pieces At least what I could I hope the glue holds like it should But I can see the cracks (My spirit exploded) Waking up in the shadows Thе cycle runs its course A lesson to bе taught But I can't lift myself off the floor My spirit exploding Chaos fire, infinite release In pieces I'm falling A life I can't repeat My spirit exploded And I picked up the pieces At least what I could I hope the glue holds like it should But I can see the cracks (My spirit exploded)

You drained my lungs of water, so I could breathe My ankles locked in concrete, you broke me free Repaired my twisted vision and calmed the tide You told me I was homebound, now I've arrived My love, inamorata I'm whole again Your light, it's shining through me My flame ascends Now it's my turn to burn for you It's my turn to burn for you I know, it's not been easy to bear my weight But from your boundless patience, my panic dissipates So if you stumble I'll wear the strain My loyalty, it's been ingrained My love, inamorata I'm whole again Your light, it's shining through me My flame ascends Now it's my turn to burn for you It's my turn to burn for you Aurora, break my dawn Rebuilt, reshaped, restored Aurora, break my dawn My love, inamorata I'm whole again Your light, it's shining through me My flame ascends My love, inamorata I'm whole again Your light, it's shining through me My flame ascends, now it's my turn to burn for you It's my turn to burn for you Aurora, break my dawn My love, inamorata I'm whole again

In cycles of voracity We radiate human decay Lost within the lines we've drawn It's futile, we're too far gone We're too far gone We're infinite points to a star Transformed into a meteor We crashed into the universe And turned it to obsidian We're our own gods Holding torches to the cauldron Desensitized to burning corpses In cycles of voracity We radiate human decay Lost within the lines we'vе drawn It's futile, we're too far gonе Too far gone It's futile, we're too far gone Tired catastrophe Radiating our skin Closing in on the glitch Breaking down from within Eclipse our sin We let the poison win We're too far gone

I'm falling, falling in Into my head I'm falling, falling in Into my head Walking against the wind Dark solitaire I'm roaming these paper streets Hoping no one will find me You wouldn't even recognize my face I'm navigating pain I'm circling the drain Maybe the journey will open up the sky The ghost of a memory won't let me say goodbye Won't let me say goodbye I'm falling, falling in I'm still trying to be what I see in myself I'm still trying to be what I see in myself I'm still trying to be what I see in myself But I need help
