These shadows grow faster than I can tell Dismissed fears contort as misfigured dreams If I can never know, how can I change them? Close my eyes, countdown, and pretend it’s all fine How can they not understand They won't stop till they reprimand I'm just alone in their eyes But it's different in my mind Only myself is left to betray Though shadows have followed from my grave Warm and kind touch turns to cold restraints Broken walls won't protect when they see right through you Confess, why do you stare through me? Maybe it’s the padded walls they see? Someone please say this isn't right These shadows that are all of my dread Don’t tell me that they're all in my head Outside and blurred our scholar eyes pry As a shattered man screams a lie How can they never see All the specters that are haunting me I'm just alone in their eyes But it's different in my mind You can't pass judgment on how my life is spent With no hope of regress, ignorance Controls all of the mistreatments I feel the white fog start to grip my throat Strapped down, the needle, it starts to reload Again the phantoms pull me back into their hold Dark shadows in the night Ask for me, there is no flight My fight has all but left, I fear Me, the envoy, a blinded seer I will fight, cry, beg, and plead Hoping they'll see what I see This unfit stage of tattered souls Takes root, and I start to lose hold Soft voices tell me to hush And slowly I can feel the rush A dark sleep comes from within As needles work into the skin

Forever searched for a purpose with time so pointless Well give me something to believe so I have some control Cut in at all the right times just to watch me pour out slow Watch this blood dry to your scribe and you’ll see how much I’m worth Crawl from start again my friend, show me where I might lean in I can piece together any ends, if you’ll suffer for his sins A whisper in my ear He knew I’d come here Now just take me away Denial cloaked in your name Let lie where she falls A face you can’t recall Wash me up on your shore Still rotting to the core Promise if I take you in, let him start new again A shadow of my failing lies keep true if it’s what you see But “never was” and “has beens” are mislabeled commodities Eyes with devious movements disarm your arrogance But let me save it for the end when photos are the foe With nothing left to salvage, let me be the one that can save Say those words I want to hear, you will go together to your grave Hearts lead a guiltless crime Die together this time Eyes of your haunting face See your trust is misplaced You can only be betrayed By those in truth you mislaid Take in this cleansing of sins Now you’re truly condemned Your innocence rebuilt Truths buried with my guilt Take in one final breath I will smile for you in death A whisper in my ear He knew I’d come here But if you’ll take me away I’ll cloak denial in your name He whispered in my ear There’s no way from here No chance to take me away Denial cloaked in your name Let lies where he falls A face you can’t recall No semblance of a shore Still rotting to the core Now that I took you in, We can start new again

I held on to you as long as I could Though this deal played out how he knew it would So blinded by my love I was running Familiar hands choke hope that’s coming Look into the grave built inside his head The facade so real, the sickness takes form again Lay down your own mind One love that won’t die Last prayer, the last lie This curse, always mine Ice cold rejection clouds the Deceit with its pure perfections You won’t soon forget her As she cries out from her corner Waters rise and take you and me A crooked scale tipped so we can’t see Released by time that’s meant to bend A pointing finger spells you again Change the puzzle so the pieces will fall Into the ending you built for us all A gift and power to usurp it A paradise and its false serpent Look into the grave built inside his head Now the waters add one more to its dead Ice cold rejection clouds the Deceit with its pure perfections You won’t soon forget her As she dies inside your corner Dragged down, I let out my last breath An embrace with the smile of death No heaven written on your face No fires written on my tomb

Awaken to this world of sorrow and pain As water leaves my lungs I can start to speak It’s so unclear This place with no fear The final toll And what’s left of your soul Blank faces now begin to take form Their ignorance keeps them clear of the storm They dance along to this perilous game Where your every whim is what you can claim While you’re bound to your chains Angels become the flame Can you see all that has changed? So let things be And trust the delusion of what you see Before you My wish was never to be apart Her smile is decorated like my heart But there is something, the corruption in the way In the way you smile and say my name Don’t let things be Can you trust delusions of what you see? Words on your lips Insanity’s bliss Another life becomes bound to this You seem so confused by where you lie Your name’s in the sky where light comes to die We're born from loss and drive endlessly I will fight on to the wall in between Across this great stretch of our time The gift of all, inheritance of nothing Now you will see You cannot erase this from me Who said this is heaven?

Awaken to this world full of sorrow and pain All those bound by deceit can start to finally speak The look says "you will be just like us one day" Paying for all the debts I never thought would be made A ghost of thought in the sentiments of fate A thousand hearts, a thousand paths to loss The struggle for your remembrance A prosperous road that leads nowhere but to death We are just a different face Holding the exact same fucking page Oh lord forgive our sins and this holocaust within Pull heaven to the ground with this deceit all around More bones we laid to rest, with the dreams that you possessed Disassembled again, and remake the skeleton Crashing words on my ears show they learned what I fear We're both one and the same, this vow I broke in plain Old lessons now lost their grace Set ablaze by stagnant faith Your guidance in my ear You will soon disappear Withered all away (By your hate) Known by your expiration date The last selection (The culling) Left you forgotten and rotting Look upon the stars every night They all fall beneath those bright eyes More phantoms sustained every day By those with nothing more to take The portraits of perdition, will show The truth of what you have always known The shrine will reveal all of the truths Your porcelain god lost in his youth Continue to be a victim of time Until the moment when nothing will begin Remember this world full of sorrow and pain All those bound by deceit, could never really speak Old lessons now lost their grace Set ablaze by stagnant faith Once again Oh lord forgive our sins And this holocaust within ourselves Lost in the loss of someone’s life Was it you or another’s strife? Every diamond found in the rough Always becomes ground into dust Bleach out all that made you unique Cursing your gifts and leaves all bleak

Call upon some sort of name to save No faith with the deity of lies Take me back to the day where Truth was more than a shadow and a veil Endless wisdom with guilty intention Trapped them all in an endless regression Pages rule this livestock complacency Inscribing hope with false prosperity Discard reason (All reason) And stir the silence of the lifeless In an endless race for last She gambles on a misled past And every chance for salvation Was always damnation Live for yourself and burn in time Redemption’s in the words only meant to bind Silent sermons and an ironic paradise Falling ideals to justify will and vice Deals with the devil bring no solace in death Eyes fixed on the innocent with every breath No master is guilty of their marionettes As the saints inscribe how your life is set Envisioning the dreams of every child Even in heaven, there is no friendly smile Live on the edge of confession And the narrow road for redemption It’s easy to bow at shrines of lies When it’s all you have left of life Heaven never spoke through a mouthpiece Now feel the pain of a false laid tragedy A force that was an alter to ourselves Left the famished chained to their own The two voices in your head Were always the suppressed verdict Bound by the comfort of hopelessness The faceless remain forever the faithless Alone It’s hard to stumble when you’re on your knees Though no trial prepares for this fixed end

Looking in the eyes of fate You will see why you are too late This wall divides a promise made But no matter what It’s you I can’t save If you take one last look and see Just remember the blame, it falls on me The truths we still can’t let go Now turn to painful memories Far away, the fires draw closer Though light shines in and takes my fear A shot goes off inside of me And it echoes from what You used to be Tear down what’s built inside And still hoping that you’ll find I’m still sewn to you All those years that I was true But still my heart, it dies right next to you Hoping you crack with pressure When the mirror points at me As we draw closer to final words I feel convictions start to blur When all the truths we fought through Now turn to our hysteria Though I feel a warmth shine in I see the shadows claw for you Nothing left for you to define Just you and your empty lines Broken hearts and poisoned minds

Words from the wise Said, “when fires die, it’s just begun” So cross your heart Though you hope to make it out this time Her neck, his chain Eyes that shake you to your very core Smiles are erased For your soul, it’s become far too late Run, he has found you Both out of your cage The words you can’t say Vanish with dismay Come weigh your choice against all the darkness now Weakness in hope has brought us to our last frail words Voices give way to the panic Watching from the sidelines like a ghost The hollow look that’s on her face Was the price that only she can pay Walls of bones stand tall Cracks start to show The wall built from deceit so long ago Caving in from reckless hands not my own Darkness overflows the roads before me Reveals the one place to hide he can't see Come weigh your choice against all the darkness now Both falling back into the new divide, now cracked White emptiness All hollowness This labyrinth Deliverance Welcome to the world of naught Forsake all reason and thought Time will hold us all In its debt so long Bleed for a new day And see how much they will take away Another drowns amongst the rain Clouds hang still over both our graves Different faces, indifferent skies The conclusion, a wake of decaying cries Time won’t let go The five words unknown Lost in our birth Right words, the wrong worth

Come and walk with me my children And I'll share with you the burden of The truth of the soul And how it’s mortal Can you hear the voice of your god? Twisted so you cannot know what's flawed The more time unfolds The more souls he owns When they turn and call out your name Is there much left to take away? Nothing remains exceptional Among all the stock of people Collections of our ghosts Are his grand masterpiece Not even suicide Can save you from this lie We are the new automata Awaken us from this dark coma We run from our chains Now closer to their aim It’s all frame by frame Oil for the machine Sands of time pass through his hands You’re a grain amongst them The fear in your heart is what tears you apart Now choose what you will rape first And claim to quench a thirst The fears not erased And you lost to your fate Uphold the supremacy Crimson soaked ascendancy Your time was always mine The broken sovereignty All of the hypocrisy Know what it means to be saved Is this future worth living At the cost of our existence We are the new automata Can we awake from this coma? We are the new automata Awaken us from this dark coma Your mind is still automata You will forever sleep in this trauma Submit to your (Submit to your) Your salvation (Salvation)

The man, like a brother, lost on me Was more human than any could see Another heart sold away for a stone An outreached hand still searching for home Losing shared control Cast down far below A truth so opaque Just like his mistakes Now pay attention To his imperfection The vanity casted A shadow on his heart Some are destined to be forgotten Leave all of me behind and fade away Losing shared control Cast down far below A fatal illusion My final ruin The jack of all broken lives and trade Was the hate that caught and dropped your blade The floor falls out below everything Blackness takes me in its dark coiling Time won’t wait with nothing left to lend It will come and change out all the ends Always the blight of your own serpent You sought an answer with any purpose Release me From this despair The fallen Never come here Memory Forgot my name A soul now I cannot claim The truth of twilight perpetuates No hammer casts your eternal fate The grand fall, the greater ascension A guiltless man, his karmic prison Lost in this place with no walls to contain All my reprisal seems to be in vain The sky, it mirrors something back to me Turning only to what I want to see Another disciple incantates the prayer of the dead Communion won’t atone or rewrite the pages of what’s been done What’s done They cannot speak here Acts fell on deaf ears No light will shine down, no flame will consume Drawn from the shrine where verity can bloom The sovereign of nothing, the worthless crown Look to the skies, the answer’s never found This condition of existence Neither death nor creation How can I be this (Nothing) I cannot be this (Nothing) How can I exist (Escape) Please make me exist (Escape) The jack of all broken lives and trade Was the hate that caught and dropped your blade The grand fall, the greater ascension A guiltless man, his karmic prison With a final way to escape And someone to take his place A new deal written inside his head And something tells me I’m what’s kept Leave her here and alter how all things stand Her soul will remain mine to command One last time a life is put on the line A cozen of another kind A deal with an end that is fixed again As shadows start to stare through him I'll show you I want to undo this end And go back to where it began So I can change all this and start everything new again
