Absolution

I must admit I’m freezing at night
As if these leaky windows were not enough
Now you’re not even here to hold me tight
I would remove your mask but my hands are tied
Cut this noose tightened around my neck
My solitude is driving me crazy
I seek shelter in this mind of mine
The asphyxiation creates a state of absolution
I wish I could escape from the revulsion inside of me
Exhausted and with bloodshot eyes
My fire within has been extinguished
Contemplating on possibilities to be at peace
To no avail as this hopeless man has lost all grace
Constantly you invoke a demon in me
You were my symbol of hope
You were my symbol of impending happiness
You shroud yourself in a cover of darkness
Every day you wear a new disguise
A new face, transformation is complete
Salt in my black torched wound
The asphyxiation creates a state of absolution
I wish I could escape from the revulsion inside of me

Iron Grip
05:01

In a blink of an eye things turned from bad to worse
Trust me; if I could, I would relieve you from this curse
When self-destructive behavior
becomes the overshadowing drug
It’s unavoidable that you shove away the ones you love
I can’t seem to comprehend the struggles you deal with
But as your pride takes away your will for therapy
We can’t keep fighting an unwinnable battle
You need to wake up and escape this fog that surrounds you
We all have scars engraved upon our souls
A static voice inside your very skull
A distant cry for help
Release yourself from this iron grip that tears you apart
A deadly parasite that breeds in your mind
Like an explosion in my heart whenever you feel distressed
Negative traits metamorph into a beast from Hell
You have shown you could endure the most obscure days
Lay down, relax, back to the old habits, start to blaze
We can’t keep fighting an unwinnable battle
You need to wake up and escape this fog that surrounds you

Divided State of Mind

This wicked dream should have been over by now
Cold sweat runs down my face into my eyes
Won’t wake up though I’m pinching myself
Stranded in my own subconsciousness
as the weakling I am
A gentle breeze caressing my every fiber
A final chapter in an absolute annihilation
Disillusion is the treaty of peace
In waves come prospects of wealth and happiness
They light up the sky for your protection
They light up the sky, not just to spy
If only I knew why, I’d light up the sky
If only I knew why, I’d light up the sky
On the blurry horizon lie the answers we seek
Scattered beyond the clouds by carnage
Scattered beyond the clouds
When hostile declarations control our every step
We find ourselves in a divided state of mind
A gentle breeze caressing my every fiber
A final chapter in an absolute annihilation
Disillusion is the freedom of speech

We’re demanding retribution against the brainwashed few
We’re condemning entire communities
‘cause of the actions of minorities
When condescending behavior
becomes the reality we live in
Syndicates of terror are imminent to cause havoc
We’re fighting hatred with hatred and it’s taking us nowhere
We’re blindly accepting when our governments
slaughter thousands of civilians with no remorse or guilt
I start to wonder if there’s even hope for us
I start to wonder if we’re hanging by a thread
Only waiting for our final obliteration
Only procrastinating until the hour has come
We’re drawn towards power and wealth
We choose leaders who are like a malicious cancer
In a perfect world we’d live peacefully side by side
At least that’s a desire in this mind of mine

A Walk on Broken Bones
06:03
|
|

Where do I begin?
I’m searching for answers
Watching the stars in the sky
Illuminate me again
Hoping to fly one day
Wishing to see the bright light
Once adored, once beloved
When conversations become memories
When the only light comes from the moon
Oppressing the demon in me
Watching as you leave your nest
Lying here, a shadow of myself
Watching as you make your way towards the skies
Lying here, derailed and distressed
Deafening voices without meaning
Blinded by the darkness within
Unwillingly I walk on broken bones
Leeching on sins of fellow men
Leeching on the sins of fellow men
Consuming the fear from the walls
Digesting the scent of pain
My satisfaction is complete
Is complete
I am now free to fly

Exodus

Exposed and broken to the core
I once found peace in this mind of mine
A flood of people on the run from invasion
Denying their existence, feeding the hatred
I freely lived my life, now I live in shackles
Once upon a time in this mind of mine
Cultural differences were a gift
My worries extended to family and friends
Now fear drives me wherever I go
My sympathy lies with an entire nation
I struggle to keep my head above water
The tides are rising with every second
My hands are shaking as I see the edge
I try, but there’s no hope left
I see them running but it leads them nowhere
Blood runs down in my eyes, blinding my vision
I freely lived my life, now I live in shackles
The recurring nightmares
Shadows from above chasing me down
The heads of my children on spikes
No time left as the enemy strikes
Once upon a time in this mind of mine
Cultural differences were a gift
My worries extended to family and friends
Now fear drives me wherever I go
My sympathy lies with an entire nation

Glaciers

Out of balance creates a void
The abyss feels so close
Wishful thinking delays the inevitable
This free fall of deception controls my every thought
Smashing against the surface
Only to find you longing for the edge
Cold eyes stare into glaciers filled with contempt
This arctic state lingers in the back of my mind
Your soul’s reflection is as black as total eclipse
Like an unstoppable blizzard
Your every will shall be granted
Like an unstoppable blizzard
Your every will shall be granted
And a month goes by in a day in my drunken haze
It’s fuel for my fire, can’t seem to control my desire
You want what you’ll never acquire
Admitting your flaws might be difficult
Cold eyes stare into glaciers filled with contempt
This arctic state lingers in the back of my mind
Your soul’s reflection is as black as total eclipse

When reality struck, I knew that I had fucked up
Who the fuck was this, and where the hell was I?
Inside a huge condo would be my only guess
My body was stressed out in a sweaty mess
Despite my widened pupils, I had trouble seeing
Even breathing made me aggravated
as the air felt thick as smog
When your heart begins to race
and your thoughts are uncontrollable
What will she do? Where will she go?
I saw the most beautiful silhouette
And began to understand how I ended up here
For a moment, I even forgot the intense incalescence
She moved closer and had the perfect anatomy
Only too late, I saw her red glowing eyes
I got hit by a massive heat-wave
as the ground began to quake
From the ashes arose a colossal figure
Despite my widened pupils, I had trouble seeing
Even breathing made me aggravated
as the air felt thick as smog
When your heart begins to race
and your thoughts are uncontrollable
What will she do? Where will she go?
Its horns were sharp as a razor
With a body as huge as anything I had ever seen
It wasn’t from this Earth
I suddenly knew exactly where I was

Black Gold

I’m floating through your body like a flower in a stream
Teasing your tongue and caressing your esophagus
Leaving it moist and soft
I fill your chest with an effervescent sensation
The addiction sets in
As I am advancing the abdominal region
I am the black gold you constantly thirst for
When I am with you
Temporary happiness is imminent
You won’t give in but it’s all for naught
I am the cause of your disease
I am the source of your pleasure
You can’t resist the urge that I create
In the dusk of dawn I’m on your mind
Like a brooding need you can’t control
Let the tranquility entangle you
These coal-black vines transform you, forever addicted
You find it enchanting at first, but I alter you
Your mouth is reduced to denture
Temporary happiness is imminent
You won’t give in but it’s all for naught
I am the cause of your disease
