The Treachery of Senses

Walking in the dark I have taken the wrong way home, I've been Lost for days and seen no familiar face No one wants to see a weak being And I've been lied to too many times Been let down and fallen behind Withhold the name I bear And give me a chance for my revenge Read past the words that bleed Read to the core to keep Soar and rise to see Above and beyond me With one wish withstand All the scorn all the masses demand And I've had reason to come to the conclusion No eyes will open without a raised hand Read past the words that bleed Read to the core to keep Soar and rise to see Above and beyond me

This road turns The thief returns The holes in his head flooding light He stole the sun Where it all began No one understands a word, no one Thoughts that burn inside Rule just one at a time Hurt and hypnotized Do not dare defy The wind is cool on his skin Caressing like the air was just for you In freefall The mind can stall And the pavement kisses In the most subtle way Thoughts that burn inside Rule just one at a time Hurt and hypnotized Do not dare defy

Come high tide Beware the pain The scars they stay the same What I've lived And what I've known The stones I've thrown In the eyes of the mourning are veins of death The bleeding It won't stop until all tears have shed What I am An ending stream Dark water calm and deep The life that once flowed in him The air, we now breathe In the eyes of the mourning are veins of death The bleeding It won't stop until all tears have shed

To speak in past tenses Leaves life defenseless They're hiding they're waiting To beat you senseless But endure through the pain The lucid hours maintain This state of consciousness Makes you feel nothing Once you are taken You won't be put back to your place Down in the darkest cave... ...The brightest of days The wait will be over soon With one push you are over In an aisle of array In a world So serene and undoubtful Of the way that you are As the only Exist without memories To drift through deep seas Once the feeling wears off The sense of floating is gone Down from the highest sky The lowest of minds The wait will be over soon With one push you are over In an aisle of array In a world So serene and undoubtful Of the way that you are As the only

Past the gates Your soul creates Lies a path That radiates In a world of sterile crowds We are part of the system Closed from wisdom Buried words, running deep Stinging into a question Suggestion In my days I've not heard A stronger sound And I believe In silence lies The power to hear Not in fear Not being austere Through the halls A whisper calls In a world of broken glass We are hovering over A four-leaf clover But no one knows when to end And for how long until it's over In my days I've not heard A stronger sound And I believe In silence lies The power to hear Not in fear Not being austere

Climbing up a broken womb The grief was on you A life left dead Words never said Still the spirit stays Frozen, broken, forever taken away It was never your choice To reap what was sown Climbing up a broken womb A dream is now true What once was Is now no more So still the spirit stays Frozen, broken, forever taken away It was never your choice To reap what was sown

Here lie only the lonely Weathered pain down on me And I keep protecting the only Remaining piece, forgotten foul Soul of the one and the only Kept safe, guarded so boldly Slain, scorn Away from the watching eye Here rest the weary the wicked Once beheld, now given away For all those restlessly breathing Once been told, this story lives And I keep forgetting the only Thing I once thought was solely For those eyes in the mirror Not dead, in endless endeavour Never before have I been seen like this Never so torn, never without bliss I have now seen the weight of my being My aim was never to fall, to rise again But I have now seen the weight of my being My stain Was never to fall and be pulled up again To let myself feel the weakness I pretend I have now felt the corner not seen; my aim

It is faith that leads you onward The unreal that stays alive It's a fairy they believe in The queen of blinded eyes She sings a song so luring Every note falls deep It's the void that keeps them feeding The emptiness they need "Come and follow me Deep deeper down A few more steps We're nearly there Come and follow me Deep deeper down" Underneath live The scolded creatures In the sewers they shine Strong, clear crimson red Reflections of a dawn unending It is fear that keeps you crawling The unknown that lures you down But the melody dies and deeper All you hear is a growling sound "Come and follow me Come deeper down Let me see Your aching eyes Come closer We're nearly there" Here in the gutter Love is another World that will vanish The stronger the light is Underneath live The scolded creatures In the sewers they shine Strong, clear crimson red Reflections of a dawn unending

Lines of silver blood A sound that is so steady Falling from the clouds On my weary hands The weight, I cannot bear It draws me to the center Of the universe A touch, it opens me See, there the traitor lies My mind, it was unready To sing a horrid tale Of somewhere I won't return to The fear of what I can't see Is all I'll never know Heard as so surreal In a soothing sound Crows with liquid eyes They are hovering over The pure part of my mind Where I rest my head Hear, the words they mutter out My mind is still unready Feel the beaks sting through my flesh They are making their way in The fear of what I can't see Is all I'll never know Heard as so surreal In a soothing sound

Far, where dawn never ends Away, are echoes the old lady sings Crying that years Years I've been trapped in this cave Inside, a candle consumed by its flame And all of the repenting words aside I desire to hurt you Desert the world you belong to In the forest where I lay My hungry heart My mellow mind All my thoughts They're weak in kind They're dreams Red is the mountain of mice Rotten on the hour of demise The pile, it resembles a crown And every roaring squel Is shame in disguise Coming clear And all that you wished for Is becoming right now Still it stays, in troubling ways The ire Far, where dawn never ends Away, the old lady sings For years I've been trapped in this cave A candle consumed by its flame
