Take in what they tell you to I spit to spit they spew to spew My aura draws - you follow suit Finks in packs and bred in twos Peasant thoughts and peasant dreams You were born to bow to me There comes a time to test yourself When you live a coward that is how you die Continuously slowed down by our perception of ourselves But in a world of servants and liars and spies I am king.

[feat. AJ Borish of Path To Misery] It starts and stops in little things And as we age and lose desire, the middle line starts to blur It slowburns to carelessness The middle man who sinks to stay in grace Friend to all - loyal to none But before I walk that rope Iâll hang from it So instead Iâll bury them Bring hammers to heads Plant flowers on their skulls like there was nothing ever there My choice: your time to disappear

When itâs time for the reaction to come I donât know I just stare and pose questions Until I close my eyes and let pleasantries protect my mind⦠But then I hear the animals cry and I know itâs just a matter of time Hypnotized by double lives but I donât know I canât feel it anymore I wanna believe thereâs a reason to flee but I canât unsee it Let me crawl into your stomach Let me sleep inside your soul Let me bathe within your water Let me burn upon your sun Pretend to be the only one Lay your head down Stay at rest Never let me down again

[feat. Scott Vogel of Terror] There is nothing more that drains me Than the tasteless contact that the night brings It is vapid and forceless Your skin corroding. My morals left me alone here The pain my body feels brings nothing The awakening of my spirit means everything Reflect inward without emotion My body is conscious My spirit is unclean I am no longer fulfilled Satisfy me

I hold this banner above my head It screams in green and black and red. Scribbled thoughts and pantheons. Write my name in blood. The same story that reads for years. The same. Take me from room to room in the dark Pair me with what I am used to In their shadow I was secure Alone in a room But now the arena of the struggle. It covers my mind in smut. My conscience has left the building. Iâm alone in a room. Service slaves. Addicts of apathy. I reject. The ones I respect will be falsely labeled narcissists. Megalomaniacs But never cowards. The fakes they change and crash like waves The worms come in droves but only when it rains. Put them back in the ground.

[feat. Eric Schaeffer of Unit 731] To be conscious and to criticize is your animal right But to pigeonhole and pry is to die in my eyes When you are so far from the ground that we are nowhere in sight How can you be the one to dissect? The one to decide? Iâve waited at the door Iâve waited too long To disconnect from the dream. To take your throat and force reality. But now youâve stepped too far. Now youâve crossed the line Now you are finally inside My world.

Itâs the compulsion that blurs the lines. This obsession drags you downward. You talk in circles. You feel the pressure. When healing is failing youâll die forever. Every ounce is a watermark Every reflective glance tears you apart. Iâve never felt what you feel. But I know we feel together. When you starve I starve We starve no more.

Is your body ready? Are your morals unsure? Are your components complacent? Are your boundaries secure? The foundations stand like stone but crack like rubble Insecurity crumbles who we think we are You are crippled by fear of uncertain interaction You are designed to fall apart at a societal social glitch But now my body is ready Your body is readyâ¦

Open your mouth and taste the water Close your eyes and see the crown The sheep sway towards the flooded banks They are the fat that has to drown Another head on the wrong side. Another face in the crowd Be no longer hopeless mission For everything or none at all See the world with Code Orange vision Carve the words into your skull

I hear your words. But no emotion comes through I hear your pleas but feel nothing new Your actions have landed you here In the heart of the confrontation In the pit of corrosion. Drenched in a fleeting loss. You sit and you stew I felt it hitting hard. You earn what you live. The rest have left their beds to try and find you But in the dark in the end⦠I bind you.

[feat. Joe Sanderson of Eternal Sleep] I will find the mercy in you To do the things I have to do Iâve seen the things I have to see to become the man I need to be So I create a world where I can survive And you wanna talk about repercussions? As the enemy in everyone we cleanse ourselves of everlong I am finally alive. I have swallowed the sun. The machine is one with the cog We are taught to pity and pry from the cradle I will find the mercy in me To kill the way I used to think
