Stepped through the door In that hour it began Looking for the morgue But I've found it in my hands Dead end entrance Living lifeless with no exit Only self reflection It was more fun in hell Had my ruin to feed on But I knew it's only an illusion of freedom Cell without key a new world gives birth Make right with the elements Revisit the interior

It’s coming and got you first And I’m unsettled You better let go or level ‘Cause it will haunt you first Doesn't it seem strange There's always a replay They say it's the last days I'm planning to sail away Rediscover the shoreline Before we come into wartime It's all on you it follows you Haunt it first or it'll bother you Recognize the opponent through Mechanize so they don't know you Weaponize let it go just shoot Specialize we've a whole lot to do Close your eyes so you know the truth This world is full of lies And we'll always be the fool Tools what we use but tools break Music's good if losing's great Starving artist lonely wanderer Contemplating the thoughts Of continuous ponderers Nowhere left here to belong Someday never came Forever's gone Songs and faces Thoughts and places go on and on Pain is taking too long to settle Recentering efforts have left me unleveled Oppressive guesswork Somewhere seeking something better Thinking the anima's still there Asleep in me yet fingering my dreams To please this thievery Thus keeping me aware Feeling I'm not really here No fear is left within this soul Everything will be paid for Hell is here and on its course Investing me elemental force Jealousy envy and remorse Befriended me before this war Exit wounds I'm battling Endless rooms and traveling Believe I've founded disbelief The silence speaks but makes no sound to me Overcrowding me I can't breathe can't see Down and deep the last thing I need is a bad dream This fantasy is trapping me But I can't blink or shut it off We'll share the cost if it's not stopped Better to take a loss than waste it all Slave to invention mistaken intentions Everything is less than the best I've invested Another dead end only one road to lead us out Trust me when I say I'm coming home with a demon's smile No whereabouts where I've been's a mystery Searching for the center But it's never where I picture it to be These are the last days we're living It always is the end of time so nevermind Armageddon You're given a mission we're living inside a new Renaissance Alchemists magicians mathematicians telling us the truth And pointing toward the stars Signaling afar this is where we are Everything we risk could be missed with the flip of a switch Living in the dark I'm a part of the search Watching all you zombies waiting to reach my arm out I will haunt you first

I don't know why I couldn't it Found myself entombed in the music Ruined out of tune and losing The truth is I don't really love it I use it only to escape No substance to the art anymore It's dark through the corridor Its heart suffocating Thanks to chloroform rappers choking up the atmosphere Hanging from the chandeliers Clearing out the clouds so another storm can approach If you're underground you won't even know they're close The sky a wall and it too will fall Going to war with full force The exorcist of Dreams Fade I'm here to let you in to play But hell is the game Bet your wage No way to be safe so you better be cautious Tip toe silent through the fog Or wind up in a coffin To find you died and will live on I can remember the days forever Looking at how we changed and severed Razorblade slits to the veins now they're painless Painted sentimentals Left it special but it's not better to fade So let go let those memories settle Taste the flame and turn their remains to a grave Burning in a blaze Did we die together? Or have we come alive from the failures? I don't have an answer but I guess it doesn't matter I've seem to set a pattern Eating me alive like Saturn We live in a world of illusion And I'm fluent in the language of the latter I've channeled many distances When traveling the differences Had to include you into the confusion Suffered greatly for it Unthankfully it made my forecast morbid Suicide is keeping us awake You want to die But you can't even sleep

It was more fun in hell But I’m looking for heaven now I hope you’re happy I’m not happy are you happy? I’m not happy And often times at night I wonder What you're doing where you're at If you're happy if you're safe While I try to understand Something in me just wasn't ready Done, had enough let's stop pretending Endings and continuations Letting go begin living Destiny wouldn't let me leave Stuck too many nights Alone isn't where I want to be So I took a trip up north I hope you realize I don't respect you What a tragedy her past will always consume Wasn't faithful wasn't thankful All appreciation wasted Shaking the way she made me feel so stupid No care, remorse, and unshameful The world just wasn't meant for us Only purpose was ourselves Guess I wasn't thorough enough Time couldn't tell me any different Resilient Distanced myself from the feelings Inner sense was always listening Deviating from the secrets Have you ever had to fake your intuition? Evil Imagination written page by page Our experience is gained from the waves we break At high tide denied the feelings that I felt Manipulating my mind in front of the fire Just so she could watch me melt Passing away I’m passing away now My life is an art and death is its project I spend my days decorating my coffin Remember you said I was your happy ending Imagined it different We can pretend still can't we? Reinvest in the tragic friendship we left with Undo the damage imagery letting go of the memories Hell was in my heart to begin with Heaven so far and distant But I miss it Every second that ticks I trick myself Into thinking the prison I live in is only a cell Can we really tell a difference? More and more complex it gets The best of it's experience That's all anything really ever is or isn't Forever is only the present Nothing else exists The seconds get more intense The closer they crawl upon us Stronger the dark hole begins to twist Holds us in its grip Alone is where you want to be now We're only slowing us down When everything is within pretend and the road is without The motivation we envisioned inspiration is found You could never be a friend because hell was too convincing Heaven the only thing I'm missing And I'm passing away Passing away now I made it to those gates but my key was rusted Evidently the rain doesn't want me to come in It wouldn't fit and once again My dreams went missing Sometimes we think that this journey is for nothing Resistance is not natural You gotta give to let it go Just know it's a lot like leaving bloody footprints in the snow Look for the path in the road as it slopes Damaging the soul is to grow But only if you get it back And she doesn't take more than what you had Leaving less than what you have to add She was right you went left never minding the mess As you juggle time to reflect Recollect all the events remanufacturing the months Ultimately divide yourself up into past seconds Running for the nearest exit I need to ask some better questions Leaving the answers in the hands of heaven Hell just came so highly recommended You're passing away Passing away now

It was all just distance fading Co-created monster making lately Off and on foot to take the next step It's dark when I look ‘cause hell is ahead But they say that we need light, right? We're in for a bright night No help in sight this world we live is finite Let's rise above it to try and discover The constant need to suffer We've lost our place became disgusted Crawling to walk and fall forward No progress or it's all over Following a follower Caught between a god, a song, and a photographer If an image is worth no words say nothing You're that fire that won't burn and it's so damn frustrating Hazy memories wasting spaces that are left inside my head Affecting my days keeping me anxious stressed I rest to deceive death In a culture enthusiastic about having no regrets Living fast with some dumb trend tattooed on their chest Fashion acts as a producer of the future Forecasting inaccurate skies So that you the consumer strives To self-fulfilling ends and lies Let go of the old Of the past, history, experience, the war That was your life worth forgetting A living morgue What lasts is when it ever comes back If it ever comes back Happiness isn't a bright smile that lies across your face It's you recognizing that inner voice that silently awaits You see the potential is the same found in every body And it doesn't come from your eyes or the brain It's something not yet conscious Do you feel Rob’d yet? It's part of a process The goal is to not let life live it for you But to become one, focus, and enjoy it Hold it even for a brief moment More distant then distance Yet the closest close that you can store within Everything ends, begins, pretends, and continues again And once then it is seen a connection Can there really be a life worth forgetting? The answer is yes but only if we can ask a better question Therein lies the lesson without a need for evidence or second guessing Accept it as severance or you will find that the power held is a plague Stuck drawing lines when heaven and hell is the same Partake in the frame to escape it Step back and look behind Faceless this is where strangers come to die

See through the eyes of another (The Other One) Trapped like a prison step inside to come along Step inside my body look at the world through my eyes The fresh air penetrates your senses In a second it materializes Recollection sets in Memories the lining of a sky polluted Lose yourself to the music But it's only silence All is relative to your perspective no exceptions Severance: The Art of Separation Fusion Station 8 years later I'm still here it's nice to see you Mind has turned into a wasteland Actors in a theatre Play your role sit in the dark Put on your mask enjoy the show ‘Cause here we are it's in the stars Don't doubt me now just come and watch Support the cast It's freedom from the strings above No puppet master Did it all ourselves! One with the cause And it's all for the crowd Whether they're screaming loud or bodies in a pile And I can't figure it out Questioning the difference ‘Cause these melodies are murderous But the life we live is infinite So what the hell's the point again? I've got a problem with an awful lot of people But I never let it show ‘cause heaven only knows The karma we've created Is the world stable? No it's all a dream, a fantasy tale We're all Play-Doh So we shape and sculpt Sometimes swallow it down in gulps Homeless learning about the sorrow but not its cause Lifting our desires to a higher plateau Never realizing the shadow isn't a shadow at all It's optional but pain is inevitable Change cannot see itself You gotta learn to let it go If it comes back and it will It may hurt but you gotta be rebuilt When the door's closed and your window's frozen To keep warm just take a lantern into the basement Same with our souls and our pseudo-selves There is no salvation only Self help Even if it didn't matter I was there Struggling for answers strangling the fear I don't care what they have to say about me I was living inside their minds Before they were even aware of the outcome And began bad mouthing I don't want to be a king never crown me Doubt me if you dare Better come up for air You're drowning down deep sound asleep You better play for keeps you don't have a soul to lose Though you have one out on lease in a rope and noose A hellish set of dreams under lock and key Something that I thought I lost to a serpent in the sea You know nothing ever seizes to amaze me Like these new age people with a so called “spiritual awakening” You're the one to blame if you fail to live It's a shame you became a bitch but that's the way it is

I've tried to release these chains but they're only getting tighter Seems the walls close in sometimes but lately they're opening up wider I'm realizing I was left behind while the rest of the world expands Damn it's scary to be a phantom Held up for ransom it's more fun in hell but the past comes And it runs away quick Shedding blood just one more slit to the wrist Persistent under an otherworldly influence An occult insistence on the perversion of my nervous fluid I'm on probation haven't I paid my debts? I've erased all the places that I've went And when I reflect I see the pieces clearer Can't remember the past Only the mirror We disappear here There isn't a possible way to put it in verse In multiple words I've struggled to search All over the world when right along You were the heart of the bubble that burst The part of the rubble that burnt Began to learn you can't see numbers in the dark The street's a dream I'm driving toward a wrong turn And there's nothing to look back to The sky, the stars, distract you Panic sets in as the one you must surrender to At night it still remembers you Punishment I bet you're having fun with this Inevitably we are running in circles I thought the line was straight? Instead it’s the hurtful calm that lurks and waits The fear that cured you of the disease That brought you here in the first place It gets dropped off and leaves I couldn’t keep up with the seconds They continue to leak out Afraid of feeling desperate I have kept it All to myself Exceptionally bad timing It has led me to believe That there is no such thing as silence I've sensed it in a Book of Golden Precepts Must've been something I read went and did That made this mess I seem to have inherited Alone a death amends an end again My Severance I don't want another friend Yet there's nothing to look back to The sky, the stars, distract you Panic sets in it's the one you must surrender to At night it still remembers you
