Curse of Existence

Isolation The world has kept the chosen ones free Safe from storms that rain down on me The coming winds of catastrophe Face the beast or find no peace Descend into madness (Madness) Shattering glass into fragments Locked eyes watch me writhe across the floor Pick up the pieces, come back for more In the mirror, a blank stare No one's there, no one cares I pretend that we share A smile that does not exist My obsession With the darkness in my reflection I always see the worst in me Breathe in, breathe out Drown in self-doubt It's always in your head But it's only in your head I'm oblivious of who I am (Who I am) All I've known is internally dismembered An unconscious savior Apathetic To a point it's pathetic The memories fade away (Fade away) Devouring brighter days In the mirror, a blank stare No one's there, no one cares I pretend that we share A smile that does not exist My obsession With the darkness in my reflection I always see the worst in me Breathe in, breathe out Drown in self-doubt It's always in your head But it's only in your head Defeatist The damage is done but it's back for more Defeatist Meet your defeat You're nothing without me Lay your demons to rest It's only in your head Breathe in, breathe out It's always in your head Breathe in, breathe out But it's only in your head Breathe in, breathe out It's always in your head Breathe in, breathe out But it's only in your head

I feel like I'm the chosen one Always hunting for the crown Reaching further Further past the sun Into oblivion Undeniable passion brings great fortune The genie's free but he brings burden Every wish that comes true creates a cannibal Blistered fingertips (From the edge of the flames until nothing remains) Blistered fingertips Like a moth coming back again How can I catch up when I'm chasing nothing And I'm falling so far behind? Searching for a way to feel anything And I'm barely gettin' by I can't let it go (Lost somewhere in life) I can't let it go How do I rewind? Into oblivion Where did I go wrong? Looking back at memories Judging every move I ever made Mourning all I've missed Telling myself it comes again Telling myself I've reached the end I've conquered all There's a throne waiting with my name Into oblivion Give me more Never enough, never enough Into oblivion Never enough, never enough It's never enough How can I catch up when I'm chasing nothing And I'm falling so far behind? Searching for a way to feel anything And I'm barely gettin' by I can't let it go (Lost somewhere in life) I can't let it go How do I rewind? Into oblivion A fire that never burns out A blade that never dulls Oblivion I can't let you go I want more Never enough, never enough Give me more It's never enough

Every night I like to see how long I can go ('Til I disintegrate) Pick myself apart, piece by piece, dying slow Isolate, inner voices so loud, hard to ignore Isolate, time slips away, behind closed doors It forces me inside Under the storm, I wither away Pick up the pieces One by one They tell a story Of a world undone It was written without an end Locked in a world with no way out This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Shut in, as day fades into night This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Every night, I like to see how long I can go (Keeping my sanity) Before I open my eyes, awake again in this black hole It forces me inside Under the storm, I wither away Pick up the pieces One by one They tell a story Of a world undone It was written without an end Locked in a world with no way out This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Shut in, as day fades into night This is not a life, it's a fight to survive Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle Hollow, hollow vessel Leave me with my demons to wrestle In a dogfight with myself I'm playing out of bounds Teeth are showing Rage is growing Stand my ground You're down for the count Down for the count Down for the count Down for the count

It’s been tough keeping my head up high The vice tightens its grip, I can’t seem to get by I wonder if all the steps I’ve climbed Were worth the infinite steps I’ve plummeted Now I’m face to face with loathing Eye to eye with the one that I hate Locked in a gaze, overloading On my way to distant place Life passes by, days feel irrelevant A world of lies, hatred, malevolence Shivers down my spine For all I’ve sacrificеd I’m not sure if I can walk the line All I’vе done Is reach the edge and never leap So I jump, finally free Jump (Jump), finally free The world is yours But it’s not meant for me Close my eyes, feel the earth leave Embrace the fear, as the wind moves past me There’s no ending to this freefall Look past the ledge, see what you’re in for Now I’m face to face with loathing Eye to eye with the one that I hate Locked in a gaze, overloading On my way to distant place All I’ve done Is reach the edge and never leap So I jump, finally free All I’ve done Is reach the edge and never leap So I jump, finally free This is my free fall I’ll take the leap This is my free fall Who’s coming with me? I’ll take the leap This is my free fall

Our tainted waste has made us deface Humanity once more From the ashes they return To settle the score Ignorance (Ignorance) fuels this fire No forgiveness, selfish empire (Built to explode) Blistered from head to toe (Exterminate) all we have ever known [Pre-Chorus] The worst is on its way from hell I feel it coming on God has yet to show itself The devil's already won The devil's already won Strike the last match Born destroyers, no turning back Kill, kill everything All of our demons are running free So strike, strike the last match Born destroyers, no turning back Kill, kill everything All of our demons are running free The worst is on its way from hell I feel it coming on God has yet to show itself The devil's already won How fortunate To miss out on all the fun Thanks arsonists The party has just begun Dance in the flames till we're gone The devil has already won Dance in the flames till we're gone The devil has already won Strike the last match Born destroyers, no turning back Kill, kill everything All of our demons are running free So strike, strike the last match Born destroyers, no turning back Kill, kill everything All of our demons are running free

Set the world on fire So helpless When did we lose control of the blood That boils through our bones? The coming flood Will it drain you or sustain you? Break free from this cell Stronger than god Savior of self We could set the world on fire So carry me out of this hell Hear the call of the fallen Drowning in a wishing well Drowning in a wishing well Sanity swings From the guillotine Backs to the wall Fuck 'em all Let it fall This is for the iron hearts Let it fall Steel sharpens steel Let it fall This is for the iron hearts Let it fall A light you could never kill We could set the world on fire So carry me out of this hell Hear the call of the fallen Drowning in a wishing well We could set the world on fire So break out of your cell Hear the call of the fallen Only you can save yourself Suffering to strength Sickness to health Stronger than god Savior of self Iron hearts Iron hearts Steel sharpens steel Iron hearts A light you can never kill

Bloodshed Violence is our national anthem Destruction is the American dream Civilization torn Torn apart at the seams A chromatic view treated as a disease Your hatred defines the mind of the weak Who decides the rules that we play by? No one stays within the lines Forced to reach for each other's throats Bloodshed, all we know Bloodshed There's no brothers And no sisters Just enemiеs And monsters Division grows stronger, with evеry headline You see what you want to, and choose to look aside Choose to look aside Who decides the rules that we play by? No one stays within the lines Forced to reach for each other's throats Bloodshed, all we know Crawl back in the hole you dwell Farewell Farewell Farewell to conformity Farewell Farewell to division Farewell Farewell to tyranny Farewell Farewell to corruption
