Cauterize 01:25
Can you bring yourself to watch the world burn?
2.
Prisoner 03:49
Fate is against me In health and virtue Driven on, weighted down Always Enslaved Always Enslaved I tell myself To fucking hold on But can I, with the weight of the world Holding me back Pushing me back To my bitter end So I try to stand down And still pretend Fate is against me In health and virtue Always Enslaved To overcome myself, I need to break these chains Break these fucking chains It's all in my head

They say I'm lost Holding on to a dying light Breathe in the life, you pushed away Breathe in the life, don't end in strife As they say, my dear friend Everything must come to an end So close my eyes, to feel alive Surrounded by the darkness here I try to be the light So leave the world so far behind I had everything I needed in my mind To let it go, just so you know I will pour all of myself into this life before I die For I see the end If I go before my time, I will commit the crime As long as you stay by my side I will not lose my pride I am feeling the end draw near I can see the world for what it really is This is something I can not bear to witness any longer All that is mine will not cease to exist As the light escapes me As the world comes to an end I can't help but wonder Why do we suffer? I can't help but realize Why do we live by these lies? It doesn't matter, because in the end Everybody dies So close my eyes, to feel alive Surrounded by the darkness here I try to be the light So leave the world so far behind I had everything I needed in my mind To let it go, just so you know
4.
Waste 04:25
Time is running out Each step I take, is a step in the wrong direction And time is a painful burden The hours and days are passing by The ticking clock repeating in my head A constant reminder that I should be dead Only moving forward can't change the wrongs I've made Is this ever going to fade? As I watch everything fall apart Crumble within my arms I know that at heart There's no going back My heart is filled with somber The face of infinity As I watch everything fall apart Crumble within my arms I know that at heart There's no going back The face is burning Burning forever Burned down to ashes A pile of dust remains The face; it smashes Will it ever be the same Time is wasting away There is nothing for me
5.
Retention 04:01
Why do I deserve this? Did I do something wrong? I didn't do anything to you; When will this end? It makes me feel empty It makes me feel low But not as low as you And there is no pity You need to burn in hell May you lay there to waste away Waste away Fuck you Get your putrid hands off my collar I can't take this anymore Fuck you I'm being pushed around But who is the real victim? Am I to blame for all your problems? I hope whatever is happening in your mind Makes what you're doing to me worth it Because in the end, Everything will be okay Turns out you're not alright You toss and turn in your bed at night Making others suffer for your mistakes Will not repair them I'd rather be anywhere but here Why do I deserve this? Did I do something wrong? I didn't do anything to you; When will this end?

"I'm sorry" Are the words I keep saying "I'm sorry" Are the words I keep hearing You degrade our society Surrounding us with anger and grief No one is laughing now You think it's all a game But you need to know I'm not your slave The tears keep flowing The pain keeps growing Will there ever be a way out? "I'm sorry" Are the words I keep saying "I'm sorry" Are the words I keep hearing You degrade our society Surrounding us with anger and grief Bringing the world to my knees There's no end in sight Putting my life in your hands I need to find the light You want to destroy me My existence You can't fucking stop me I can't see I can't breathe I can't control myself You are the human affliction Liberating our being You'll get what you deserve You heartless swine Feeding off of my soul You will no more This is our desolation
