Distorted Mind
EP • 2005
Futile strikes Each for the rights Proving a point for what we all fear Deliver a gift Through air it shifts Defeating the purpose and what we all hear Ripping away Washing decay Determines the future and what's to be done Paving the path For a fragrant bloodbath Smelling the death in what we've begun Forming the hatred in shades of melting flesh Destined for torture are those who could survive Scanning the ruins, watching for signs of life Befriend the reaper, for he is on your side Casting them down On to the ground Meeting the town Bodies around Destroying lives Tearing the mothers from their child’s arms Nothing to last Take a look around What you enjoy most - gone forever Holy man - question my religion Kill my people for not wanting your God Millions are dying while praying to live So why should we look to the lies? Bending our souls Conform to your beliefs They'll shoot you down then burn your home If you do not see the light Rules to protect the weak, to destroy the strong And condemn all those that think Why must we bow down throughout these times When your light turns to darkness Fire Escaping the hand of god Pages of unspoken guides Lies, lies, lies Die inside Live our lives in fear of the ones we trust And we wash away in our sea of doubt Stop spreading faith while I start to sketch A Painting of Winter's Darkness Banish thee Worthless preacher Blocking you out Out of our minds In to the grave Deeper with time Draw the line For you and your kind Say what you bring to us Things we cannot trust You defend all you cannot see Then you condemn all we want to believe Book of fiction Your contradiction Premonition False religion Stealing hopes and visions from the youthful Descend down the staircase to our fate Winding path Troubled past Friends of Jesus Christ Savior of all your minds Hypnotized Dictate lives Paint has now been dried As the blood of all who’s died In your wars of hatred Hang this painting high As we wait to see the end of life On Earth as we know it Drill in to your brain Hopes gone down the drain Pointing all the blame It will never be the same...

Happened chance to see the truth Fed the lies within our youth Years of pain These tears that rain Distorted mind, distorted truth Puddles dried so you can't see Lifeless eyes present to thee Watch myself daze Through water's face Replace my soul, replace me Liquid former Shadowed terror So I venture In to my past A utopia My dream Saw a vision To help myself Drown me now Sickness of my own Truth of all the Lies of which you Fed in to my mind Save me from life Recreate my past Which I now forget The times I would smile With no worries Make me strong again Stare in to my eyes Feel the pain I've felt Sense the hurt I have Now that they have gone Peering down to the river See myself playing Younger version of myself Was once happy and content Why can’t I live again, Since I’ve never hurt them? Touching water... Grabbing my reflection Mold myself to my needs Since I’ve been killing myself Frigid air held the picture Froze my perfect reflection But, I wish to consume And establish all I used to be Wish myself back to health Respect for my own truth Skipping stones Scar my face Youth has died As have I You dream of passion no more

The tears, dripping from eyes, The pain, consuming lies, The life I lead just to please you DIVISION OF the PAST, Your hopes shall never last, You view me in a light that's not meant for me The person I've become, Far from what you want, It's time to leave my life to me Not good enough, Not living up, To your standards The person you think I really am, Is nothing close to the truth at all, You think you know what's best for me, But I'm better off if you let me fall Why can't you see you're holding me back, Can't move on with life if you don't let me My only solace is in waiting to be free, To rid of the past, creating me, In finding what it means to be, Having an identity No more dreams of black, No more depression, No more monarchy, Awaken by the light Seperation from the world at hand, Moving on with my life's plan, Expression of the mind, A result of free will No more giving in, No more feeding lies, No more molding me, Into what i am All that you put me through, Nothing gained from it All of your rotten ways, I will forget Time that you wasted, Never coming back Taking control of life, Getting back on track DIVISION OF the PAST, Your hopes shall never last, You view me in a light that's not meant for me The person I've become, Far from what you want, It's time to leave my life to me Not good enough, Not living up, To your standards Life is not worth living in the past, That's why I want to forget, Choosing my own path to walk, And never turning back
