I walk on an endless shore,<br/> And I leave my footprints in the sand,<br/> As a sign that I was here.<br/> <br/> Why do you keep on washing away my steps?<br/> Without them I have no past and no future, I'm just a point,<br/> I feel like just falling so that you can drown me,<br/> Drown me, take me away into depths of unexistence.<br/> <br/> Life was never about fair chances,<br/> All I have is this shore and the ocean.<br/> Why do you insist on erasing my history,<br/> For what then did I exist?<br/> <br/> Disturbance builds up inside of me,<br/> I feel like being pierced from the inside out,<br/> A thousand knives are doing their job meticulously,<br/> There's no way out, I will never scale this tower.<br/> <br/> Disturbance builds up inside of me,<br/> I feel like being pierced from the inside out,<br/> A thousand knives are doing their job meticulously,<br/> There's no way out, I will never scale this tower.<br/> <br/> Tortured endlessly by this insane drive,<br/> I must leave my mark on the tides of time,<br/> No matter how I try, there's no way of scratching it,<br/> But I still try again and again and again and again.<br/> <br/> Tortured endlessly by this insane drive,<br/> I must leave my mark on the tides of time,<br/> No matter how I try, there's no way of scratching it,<br/> But I still try again, until my final step.<br/> <br/> Kulning.<br/> <br/> (Spoken):<br/> There is no me, ‘I’ bears no more meaning<br/> There is only the shore and the ocean...

It seems that I have been crawling for eternity,<br/> Trying to find my way out of these woods,<br/> Every step is ever so tolling,<br/> But never it seems to bear any fruit,<br/> Again, again this bog,<br/> I slug through it without any respite,<br/> Abrasion upon abrasion, bruise upon bruise,<br/> My confines are not of the hospitable kind,<br/> Why do I keep on choosing the wrong path?<br/> <br/> Can't see the stars, can't see the stars,<br/> I am lost, no light to shine on my path,<br/> Can't escape these frightening woods,<br/> No more hope for me, but still I move.<br/> <br/> Can't see the stars, can't see the stars,<br/> I am lost, no light to shine on my path,<br/> Can't escape these frightening woods,<br/> No more hope for me, but still I move.<br/> <br/> Circling and circling, this maze keeps me going,<br/> Through its dark, twisted forms of undoing.<br/> Can't think about the future, the past doesn't hold my mind,<br/> All I can think of is one more step.<br/> <br/> Can't think about the future, the past doesn't hold my mind,<br/> All I can think of is one more step.<br/> <br/> Can't see the stars, can't see the stars,<br/> I am lost, no light to shine on my path,<br/> Can't escape these frightening woods,<br/> No more hope for me, but still I move.<br/> <br/> Can't see the stars, can't see the stars,<br/> I am lost, no light to shine on my path,<br/> Can't escape these frightening woods,<br/> No more hope for me, but still I move.<br/> <br/> Is this all that is left for me,<br/> Seems I'll have to walk eternally.<br/> Is there someone to make me free,<br/> Please salvate me from obscurity.<br/> <br/> Is this all that is left for me,<br/> Seems I'll have to walk eternally.<br/> Is there someone to make me free,<br/> Please salvate me from obscurity.<br/> <br/> No more steps!<br/> I, I can't go on, I won't go on,<br/> Looks like this is the final place.<br/> Fear, no longer holds, I just accept,<br/> This is the way that I'll escape.<br/> <br/> This is the way that I'll escape,<br/> <br/> This is the way that I'll escape!

In the depths of inanition, I find my weary soul,<br/> A mere echo of existence, a fraction of the whole.<br/> Barely breathing, I cling to one more day to live,<br/> A constant battle, lacking strength to let go.<br/> <br/> This maze, a labyrinth, that holds me tight,<br/> I yearn for liberation, to escape its spite.<br/> Why did I strive, with such fervent pace,<br/> Only to slow down, caught in this endless chase?<br/> <br/> Lost amidst debris, entangled in addiction's snare,<br/> Devoted to a struggle that's left me threadbare.<br/> This Egregore, a phantom that shattered my will,<br/> Leaving behind a history of pain, hard to distill.<br/> <br/> Yet, I cleanse it all, washing away the stains,<br/> With a fragile veil of hope, where resilience remains.<br/> No words can suffice, for the depths of my despair,<br/> Just my voice, mourning in silence, a mournful air.<br/> <br/> No more notes to play, the melody has ceased,<br/> Within my chest, a void, an echoing feast.<br/> Without hope, without will,<br/> I wander still, through these barren fields.<br/> <br/> But in this desolation, a seed of strength takes root,<br/> No longer trapped in inanition's cruel decree,<br/> In this barren expanse, I'll find my way,<br/> For within the void, a glimmer of hope will sway.
