Involuntary delusional thoughts
Insidious, controlling
No hand in my own fate
I can feel the monster crawling into my subconscious
I’m helpless
Now the violence is taking control
Cities burning, releasing their souls
Now the scourge has been unleashed
There’s no way to escape
From my soul
I stare into the void
Trying to remember who I was before
Blinded by the mist, I’m waiting for a sign
A light that can guide me through this emptiness
Can anyone hear me?
Can anyone guide me to the light?
Can anyone one save me from myself?
Please
Tell me I’m not alone
Guide me to the light
Bloodshed again and again
Make the sacrifice
Reeling as I take the knife
Dispose of morality
And end this pitiful species’ life
Can anyone hear me?
Can anyone guide me to the light?
Can anyone one save me from myself?
Please
Tell me I’m not alone
The stars begin to fade away
Tell me I did what’s right
Turning back the hand of time
I breathe the last embers
Reach for a taste of paradise
Reaching for the light above
See the world begin again
See a love ascend, the highest call
Embrace the ending promised from the fall
It’s not for me to question sanity
Now the illusion fades from sight
There’s no one left
Darkness
Clutch at the graves
I can’t repent
I’ve become the monster
Twisted
Lacerate
The guilt of grief inflicted consumes my life
