On the Shores of Oblivion
I tried following you<br/> but lost your shape in the mist<br/> I sought forgiveness in you<br/> but found only pride<br/> <br/> I smothered my breath and will to live<br/> but the flame still shone too bright<br/> So I came here into this haven<br/> to wait for relief<br/> <br/> This place of nothingness<br/> draws me near<br/> it keeps me weak<br/> it fills me with fear<br/> <br/> I have always had a key<br/> but no doors to be opened<br/> I had something to say<br/> but no one ever listened<br/> <br/> This place of nothingness<br/> draws me near<br/> it keeps me weak<br/> it fills me with fear<br/> <br/> I drown my sorrows<br/> in sorrows of another<br/> and spread my misery<br/> among others in the gutter

Decrepitus, I live in the age when all dies<br/> I spoke my last words thousands of years ago<br/> I have survived.<br/> And I live on...<br/> <br/> I witness the ever-present exodus of souls<br/> the world keeps on turning <br/> but I stand still<br/> <br/> And I watch them leave<br/> <br/> Aeons pass and all the wrath<br/> that swelled in the dried blood of my veins<br/> is bursting out<br/> <br/> Everyone is afraid to die<br/> while i was born cursed to survive<br/> I'd rather die<br/> <br/> I've build my own cenotaph<br/> out of human fear<br/> wrung in aeonic apathy<br/> I'd burn down the world to feel<br/> just to feel<br/> <br/> I'd kill to feel<br/> <br/> Immortal, forlorn, so far from human...

Farewell!<br/> We won't meet again<br/> <br/> I take a step into nothing<br/> I take the last journey<br/> The earth is closing fst<br/> All my bones are breaking<br/> <br/> I feel free<br/> I break apart<br/> I am leaving<br/> I'm falling asleep<br/> <br/> This world<br/> is not mine anymore<br/> the whole life was<br/> just a sullen feeling.<br/> something's been always wrong<br/> in the rotten core of being<br/> I felt real<br/> only close to dying<br/> <br/> Farewell!<br/> I am pulled towards my ending<br/> by the weight of doubts about myself<br/> This is the only way<br/> <br/> I take a step into nothing<br/> I take the last journey<br/> the earth is closing fast<br/> All my bones are breaking.<br/> <br/> Farewell!<br/> I am pulled towards my ending<br/> by the weight of my own consciousness<br/> this is the only way<br/> <br/> I join legions of the sleeping

I am gone, but I live in your memories<br/> violent twist of fate has made me whole<br/> it has made me cold<br/> <br/> Now my body decays<br/> but my soul is bound to yours<br/> I wander between worlds<br/> All this in spite of my will<br/> <br/> Death is not sad but ambivalent<br/> No words can describe it<br/> Death is the only true cure<br/> Cure for all the pain<br/> It's a sleep in the softest sheets...<br/> <br/> You kept kissing my grave<br/> all your tears were in vain<br/> I hated you for imprisoning me<br/> in your mortal world<br/> <br/> You made me hollow<br/> Now years have passed<br/> all the hate is gone<br/> I'm not desperate anymore<br/> I disappear as you forget<br/> <br/> As the morning fog is dissolved by the sun<br/> this circle of life is made whole<br/> <br/> You wept over ashes<br/> which fertilized the soil<br/> There are no words beyond<br/> Just this feeling of loss<br/> Knowledge that if I rest in peace<br/> I will cease to feel

You drown in the sea of grey<br/> insensibly living day to day<br/> <br/> You recall feeling alive<br/> Now you just let things slide<br/> You remember there used to be<br/> some distant memory<br/> <br/> Then out of nowhere came the brightest light<br/> showing the void inside<br/> Then out of nowhere came the searing light<br/> showing the void inside<br/> <br/> The knowing turns you pale<br/> as you watch yourself in pain<br/> The truth, unfolding<br/> you have been living your life<br/> in vain<br/> <br/> You wish there was a way <br/> to feel whole again<br/> <br/> Then out of nowhere came the brightest light<br/> showing the void inside<br/> Then out of nowhere came the searing light<br/> showing the void inside<br/> <br/> Colors fade to grey<br/> and you watch yourself in pain<br/> The truth, set in stone<br/> you have been living your life<br/> in vain

It seems I'm walking little high<br/> Not touching the ground anymore<br/> It's like waking up from a dream<br/> Which lasted over centuries<br/> <br/> My soul leaves body once for all<br/> I’ll never touch reality again<br/> I choose Icarus's fate<br/> I lose something I never loved<br/> <br/> Deep in my mind I know<br/> <br/> The world around me is just a delusion<br/> But the way I see things now reveals<br/> I'm getting mad<br/> <br/> I succumb to psychosis<br/> Falling prey to schizophrenic fear<br/> Afraid of my own shadow <br/> Deafened by my many selves<br/> <br/> World is just a state of mind<br/> Life is just a state of mind <br/> <br/> Deep in my mind I know <br/> The world around me is just a delusion<br/> But the way I see things now reveals<br/> I'm getting mad<br/> <br/> I succumb to psychosis<br/> Falling prey to schizophrenic fear<br/> Afraid of my own shadow<br/> Deafened by my many selves<br/> <br/> It seems I’m flying little high<br/> The lunacy is lurking nigh<br/> Faceless shadows circle around <br/> I join them and I see the truth <br/> And see I have never left <br/> The world, my body

Starting to sense my flesh again,<br/> Limbs laying motionless, blood-stained<br/> <br/> My weary eyes get impaled<br/> By lucid daggers of sunlight<br/> I wrench my hands and perceive<br/> Guardians of my free leave<br/> Ironbound, imprisoned and weak<br/> In this room, so still and bleak<br/> <br/> Where am I? What do you want?<br/> Let me see you, you fucking bastards!<br/> I want to get out! I won't beg you!<br/> I won't give in!<br/> You have no right to do all this<br/> To me<br/> <br/> Innocent...<br/> I am innocent!<br/> May Heaven and Hell witness my purity<br/> <br/> Nay, I have to seek<br/> What ill deeds keep me here<br/> Shall this be my penance<br/> For stars that I put out?<br/> <br/> My sins of buried past<br/> Grow strong and relentless<br/> For crimes shall be avenged<br/> My prey shall revoke my wrongs<br/> <br/> Come, pluck me to flesh,<br/> See my bare skin, always intact<br/> Unlike my soul, forever doomed<br/> Now come, take your revenge<br/> Feed on my blood<br/> <br/> Cease my vile heart's beat<br/> And rape my best memories<br/> <br/> Should this be my end,<br/> The closing verse, so be it then.

I'm just an empty shell of a man<br/> I don’t look down<br/> Fears in the back of my head<br/> Overwhelming<br/> <br/> I dance with a fairy of glass<br/> I succumb to her smile<br/> With anxiety about her fall<br/> We dance, we spin like a hurricane<br/> <br/> These scary visions have flown through the void<br/> Since I recall<br/> And every shard of beauty decays<br/> Turns into ruin<br/> <br/> I want to get out<br/> <br/> Days pass in a melancholic blur<br/> One yawn takes year<br/> Those voices whispering in my head<br/> Keep reminding me that silence calls the storm.<br/> <br/> It's hard to think straight while<br/> I am attracted by my beautiful<br/> Schizophrenic universe<br/> I embrace the new being<br/> <br/> I worship infinity<br/> With touch of cold<br/> Between facing mirrors I fly<br/> I am the fairy of cullets glued together<br/> <br/> I worship the order of void <br/> Which rules the realm I live in<br/> <br/> ...and every shard of beauty decays<br/> Turns into ruin

I felt it coming all the time<br/> Everpresent underpressure in the air<br/> Inhaling greyness<br/> Meeting creatures designed to a single purpose<br/> Just to breathe<br/> <br/> So I'm facing the fate<br/> I return to the nature's bosom<br/> To the only truth I've ever known<br/> The flow of time abates<br/> <br/> In spite of the scary visions<br/> I don't care I march into abyss<br/> Into abyss<br/> <br/> Hopeless to understand what I see<br/> I sense something primeval rising inside<br/> Animal instinct whispers in my ear<br/> Something most of us deny<br/> <br/> What if I die?<br/> What if everything else is a lie? <br/> What if I die?<br/> Will it hurt?<br/> <br/> When sun stops above the horizon<br/> My vision is drawn to the burning globe<br/> I am entirely calm<br/> While everything is collapsing <br/> I realize my being was just a state of mind <br/> <br/> The truth is coming<br/> The truth is to sleep<br/> <br/> Redemption is coming<br/> <br/> What if, what if we die?<br/> Will it hurt and I remain conscious?<br/> What if everything else is a lie?<br/> <br/> The truth is coming<br/> Sleep, the redeemer

World is just a state of mind<br/> <br/> Our souls are bound together<br/> <br/> If we die<br/> If we take<br/> A step into nothing<br/> <br/> There is no victory or defeat<br/> Or existential peace<br/> <br/> If we survive and never die<br/> We will turn into rocks<br/> <br/> And everything else<br/> Is a lie<br/> <br/> Everything else<br/> Is a lie<br/> <br/> So keep on worshiping infinity
