Shadow Work
Find a way out Find a way Find a way out There's a breach Lost in a sunless place Hope has vanished without a trace Stare at the looking glass Shatter its reflection Slow the spread of disease Fictional infections Lost in a sunless place Vanished without a trace Shadow Work Inward, journey inward In darkness, demons lurk Engage in Shadow Work Rapture, the quintessential search In the abyss, fear and truth are submerged Lost in a sunless place Vanished without a trace Shadow Work Inward, journey inward In darkness, demons lurk Deep in the shadows Find a way out Find a way Find a way out Face the conflict deep within me Conflict within Trapped in the purgatory Dug my own grave and discovered the root of my ills Eternal sleep Stay awake, redemption is slipping away Conflict within Conflict within Inward, journey inward Shadow Work An open dialogue with my inner child Tales of trauma Old wounds have begun to bleed A feeling so ethereal I can finally heal Stare at the looking glass Shatter its reflection

Everlasting doubt, lingers like a cigarette Will it ever fade, slowly dissipate into thin air? Still second-guessing every play, every step of the way Wide awake, a night of endless pondering Trust the process Pain is progress Still second-guessing every play, every step of the way Wide awake, there's no escape Faced with immeasurable odds The road will be treacherous I accept the risk A test of endurance Paved brick by brick A path for those led astray New foundations laid My aim will never be betrayed by fear Over my dead body Stay in your lane Praying for change Day after day, it won't be me Think I'll give in, bitch? Over my dead body Stay laser focused while they're talking their shit Just roll with the hits Relentless, the clarity of purpose My conviction is a weapon against adversity Will I ever bend the knee? Over my dead body Doubt, like a cigarette Will it ever fade, slowly dissipate into thin air? Trust the process Pain is progress Doubt, a voice in my head Callous and unforgiving No match for my iron will Won't give in to despair Never have, never will I took the cold plunge Sank 'til my lungs burned Resurfaced with a clear head Blood has been shed Obstacles will always emerge Will they quell the flame? Over my dead body Over my dead body Over my dead body Both eyes becoming one As I gaze at the sun Will my vision be blurred? Ambitions go unheard? Over my dead body Over my dead body Lost a win, a lesson lived Crash and burn, a lesson learned

Never to be broken I carried out my mission Walked through the mud Revelled with great ambition A pact made in blood Nothing mattered None could shatter the oath Never to be broken Fade away Vivid visions are fading away Incandescent dreams aren't always all that they seem Every rendition filled with passion and tears (passion and tears) Barely survived the flood A pact made in blood The spark grew dim as I spread myself thin (spread mysеlf thin) A crooked scale and a broken promisе Never Never to be broken Never Never to be broken Vivid visions are fading away Incandescent dreams aren't always as they seem They fade away Vivid visions are fading away They fade away Dreams aren't always... all that they seem This is the death of an artist End of an ego Out of the limelight An unspoken hero I am reborn Ruin and redemption I am reborn I am reborn This is the death of an artist End of an ego Out of the limelight An unspoken hero Death of an artist An unspoken hero I am reborn Vivid visions are reappearing I feel it in my bones I am reborn

Breathe in Breathe out No Ventolin Panic swiftly settles in A curse that can't be lifted From cradle to the grave Engrained in my DNA Gasping for air, asthmatic nightmare I feel the noose tightening, my lungs collapsing Breathe in Breathe out Pain Rude awakening Youth is evaporating Rude awakening One must face the permanence of pain Pain Rude awakening Breathe in Breathe out Trapped in an imperfect shеll Scoliosis, herniated disks Let it all go Inhalе Exhale Let go Let it go I am the driver, no longer the passenger Time to put on the brakes Inhale Exhale Prevail I’ll prevail Body and mind slowly realigned Redefined Pain Rude awakening Youth is evaporating Rude awakening One must face the permanence of pain Pain Rude awakening Rude awakening Here comes a panic attack The pressure's building up A burning sensation An overwhelming sting Rude awakening I loosen my grip And soften my stare Facing despair Accept the irreversible Mind and body realigned In unison Mind and body redefined Lie in a Corpse Pose Tension will decompose Lie in a Corpse Pose

Once were warriors Through distant, unknown borders We traversed side by side A picture perfect start Still, we knew in our hearts Troubled waters lied ahead Your life's in disarray Yet, we look the other way A fire spreads A fire spreads Burning every single thing we built The match is lit I am The Apparition Loathe thy cerebral prison I am The Apparition A band of brothers Two decades deep Through thick and thin Quit shutting doors, just let us in This burden's mine to bare Toxic, I will not share Scars carried on to my tomb My life's in disarray Yet, you look the other way A fire spreads A fire spreads Burning every single thing we built The match is lit I am The Apparition Loathe thy cerebral prison I am The Apparition I am The Apparition A fortress carved in bone Impenetrable zone A solemn vow to spend my existence alone So it ends... The sound of the siren It calls our name The blood of a thousand We cannot be tamed The sound of the siren It calls our name The blood of a thousand We cannot be tamed Turmoil running through your veins, running through your head Empathetic, a constant conflict You've crossed the line and we've reached our limit May your ghost find its former human form Turmoil The sound of the siren It calls our name The blood of a thousand We cannot be tamed

2002 OG It started out with a vision A mission to escape, to vacate this permanent prison A new religion, no Gods to dictate The rules are ours to break When the Reaper calls Takes it all away When the Reaper calls Calls out my name When the Reaper takes it all away I'll be at peace I have fulfilled my destiny Resistance is vain When the Reaper takes it all away I'll be at peace I have fulfilled my destiny Into the ether I release into the ether I submit to the painless flow All this thought is merely purely observation I foresee to only grow When the Reaper calls Calls out my name When the Reaper takes it all away I'll be (I'll be) at peace I have fulfilled my legacy Resistance is vain When the Reaper takes it all away I'll be (I'll be) at peace I have fulfilled my legacy From the ground up, never gave up From the gutter to the surface Felt the weight and the pressure of purpose Heavy risks and major benefits This is how men are made Wake up and grind everyday Crushing weight of our purpose In the end it's all worth it Now I see that suffering was the purpose after all Face the Reaper Ready to meet my maker

Once more united You are eternal Now reunited, mending broken wings No longer suffering Beyond all limits You are eternal Two kindred spirits bonded by the ring No longer suffering We rarely get to say farewell Static moments relived over and over again Your skin was paper thin Bruises you wore like badges of honour Your rounded shoulders carried so much weight Carried so much weight Once more united You are eternal Now reunited, mending broken wings No longer suffering Beyond all limits You are eternal Two kindred spirits bonded by the ring No longer suffering We rarely get to say goodbye Static moments relived time after time after time Your silence spoke louder, louder than lamentations Endless confusion in your eyes Lost in hazy skies Lost in hazy skies Into eternity Reunited finally Into eternity In Memoriam The weighing of the heart Souls lighter than a feather You've proven yourself worthy In memory Memory of Anubis welcomes you Guides you through the afterlife Inshallah, may you find peace In Memoriam In memory I'll always remember you

Ominous energy An omen of misfortune Impending tragedy There's no escaping gravity An omnipresent dread I fear your days are numbered A halo vivid red Hovering over your head Ominous energy Ominous energy An omen of misfortune Ominous energy looms over you The numbing consumption Spirits and spice have dimmed your light An unquenchable thirst Compulsive, allured by the vice Ominous energy An omen of misfortune Impending tragedy Decay of your sanity An omnipresent dread I fear your days are numbered A halo vivid red Hovering over your head Ominous energy Ominous energy An omen of misfortune Ominous energy A bottomless pit Pouring drink after drink Feeding a bottomless pit A sacred ritual Pouring drink after drink Transcending limits Take a hard look in the mirror See what you've become Only you hold the keys to salvation Get off your knees Break these fucking chains now Take a hard look in the mirror Stuck in a downward spiral Complacent, out of control It all hangs by a thread As you drown your sorrows instead of facing fear Take a hard look in the mirror Deliverance shines behind your reflection Introspection, the path to remission Take a hard look in the mirror Deliverance shines behind your reflection
