I am the eighth deadly sin
We humans have a twisted tendency
Blinded by praises for our mistakes
We can tell right from wrong
We knew about it all along
We don't realise
We refuse to open our eyes
Therefore, we fail to see
Stubbornly, we didn't believe
We are the cause of our own corruption
Destroying the life of grace within
A horrific damnation awaits
but why aren't we afraid?
With great power comes great responsibility
Why is power being abused with greed?
Liars and thieves, do not be ashamed
You and I, we are just the same
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you more about myself
Avoidance of exertion of any kind,
Hunger and greed, everything must be mine
I desire wealth and material gain,
Lust over love as it brings me less pain
Wishing evil upon those I dislike,
Puffing myself up with excessive pride
Mass destruction and the chaos it brings,
These are a few of my favourite things
I feel that this is my decimation
I can't seem to resemble myself with my own reflection
How foolish was I to think I could do this on my own?
Empty these bottles, break these needles, I don't wanna be alone
Just how far are you willing to go,
to rip apart everything I know?
You have to understand
that I don't give a damn
about your stupid intentions
So sick and tired of how
you push me around
As contradicting as it may sound,
I've learnt and I've found
Everything you fear and neglect,
everything you despise
are the things that make me feel alive
Cross my heart and hope to die
There will be no remorse from our side

Apparition

This darkness in my heart
It will never go away
Your hands are going cold
Like every word you say
My face buried in my hands
as I wonder why
It has come to a point
my obsession's my demise
To my cadaverous love,
it's just a matter of time
I'll have this noose around my neck
and soon, you'll be mine
Let this be the last time I close my eyes
Let this be the last of my desperate cries
Something's wrong, my love
I'm blinded by my tears
Your gaze once brought me peace
Now I'm overwhelmed with fear
Our once delicate symphony
have become an anxious ring
From the bottom of my broken heart,
I sincerely sing...
to you, my cadaverous love,
they don't see what I see
You're so pale and cold
but you're still so beautiful to me
Let this be the last time I close my eyes
Let this be the last of my desperate cries
Who would feel sorry for a man like me, my dear?
I've wasted too many nights wishing you were here
Set fire to these walls
What have I done
to myself?
Your haunting beauty
The face of death

Anchor
05:07
|

Daylight slips away
from the tips of my fingers
This heart in my chest
weighs me down like an anchor
Waves are washing me
I can no longer breathe
As I fade away,
it's weighing me down like an anchor
I only have myself to blame
for this treachery
I've given up all the strength
to fight for everything
and I have tried to find
a single glimpse of light
but all in fucking vain
And I have wasted every torturous day and poisoned nights
trying to fight off all these demons that I hear inside
Vanquished by the shame, I bury my face in my hands
Someone make this pain end
Why did I let these demons build their home inside my mind?
I hear them mutter and whisper awful things all the time
I must confess, I've lost it all, my face is on the floor
I can't take this anymore
Now I see that I've always been
The nothing I have feared becoming
A trophy lost at sea
Descending, I fear the darkness beneath me
My heart is an anchor
and I'm sinking deeper

Falsifiers
03:38
|

A spineless fabrication of false tales
Intentions of betrayal, conflict
You twist the past I've put behind me
You disgusting piece of shit
I see childish desires in your eyes
I smell fear behind your disguise
Every reason to
Every reason to look down on you
Realize the failure that you are
I won't close an eye on this
I want to rip apart that filthy lying mouth of yours
Hatred swells my heart
I should've known this from the start
Self-infliction
The damage is done
Save your trivial apologies
Save your excuses
I want none of it
Now I see my mistakes on your faces
I've found lies in all the wrong places
Lie to my face, my friend
I'm not the one with blood on my hands
Fuck all the stories you tell to tarnish my name
Every single one of you, I wish you well
I will see all of you in hell
Spell out your name for me,
I'll carve it on this tombstone for your loved ones to see
So, here lies a foolish soul,
whose choices led him to a grave so fucking dark and cold
So burn
Just burn

Impermanent Presence
07:48
|

Feels like a hundred years
The glass is long gone broken
False hopes and absurd pretense
My deep ugly wounds are left open
Your lies, the absence of gratitude
and my lack of self-control
Trying to deal with my loss and these changes
What's meant to be, let it happen to me
How could you say
I didn't try at all?
I don't understand
I don't wish to
I looked in your eyes
I see nothing at all
You slipped away
I've lost you
I'm lost, stuck in my own head
How the hell did I get so far away this time?
I was patronised, and to you,
I was something you could cast aside
And I know, since we parted ways,
you've found a way out, you've seen the light
I'm still trying to escape this hell
I'm not doing well on my side
How could you say
I didn't try at all?
I don't understand
I don't wish to
I looked in your eyes
I see nothing at all
You slipped away
I've lost you
I can taste the imminence of my demise
the warmth I used to feel beside me,
it's not there anymore
I am trapped in this never-ending cycle of self-rejection
I will never forget this knife you placed in my back
I never saw it coming, it came without warning
Horrid thoughts consume all of me
Still in disbelief
that you abandoned me
You could've saved me
You could've saved me from myself
I never saw it coming
It came without warning
Please bring an end to this suffering
How could you say
I didn't try at all?
I don't understand
I don't wish to
I looked in your eyes
I see nothing at all
You slipped away
I've lost you
How could you say
I didn't try at all?
I don't understand
I don't wish to
I looked in your eyes
I see nothing at all
You slipped away
I've lost you
This is my desperate shout, I can't hold on
