So much anger building up inside
They never let it out
All that sadness makes them want to cry
And they don’t know what it’s about
We turn to distraction
Embracing inaction
Finding a way to stay simply okay
Remaining unfeeling
Veils never unpeeling
Killed so slowly every single day
So much anger building up inside
I never let it out
All this madness let out with a sigh
And I know what it’s about
Not pissed enough

Breaking Point

So many voices in my head
Shouting out, I seek the quiet of my youth
Spitting lies, fog is overhead
Can't figure out which voice is telling me any truth
Cut them off
Release my mind
Give me a sign
Draw me the line
Set me free
Fuck what they say
Show me a way
To disobey
What they instilled in me
I rip myself into shreds
By growing whispers in my head
Align myself with their thoughts
Until my will is all but dead
One by one, I'll pull every weed
Remove the faces sitting on my shelf
Sever the lines to the hate they breed
Until the only one I doubt is myself
My breaking point
Has now been reached
My breaking point
These walls were breached
Lift these restraints
Help me regain
My unconstraint
Help me rebuild my will
Lead me someplace
Where I can replace
This fall to disgrace
Let my conscience be still
I rip myself into shreds
By growing whispers in my head
Align myself with their thoughts
Until my will is dead
But not this time
No, I've had enough
Fuck them and their vision
I will find my own way
End this inner fission
I will find my own way

Dead End
03:33
|

This place I’m in is all a lie
Your world is a dead end
Don’t even try to rule my life
Or call yourself my friend
You hold me back, as if a slave
While I simply pretend
My best interest and your ill intent
Will never make amends
Disregard the time I gave to your cause
I forsake my dreams and hear the applause
Why do you thrive on suffering
Is this all you adore
If I survive this illusion
You’re game will be no more
For it is told, that with my life
A meaning shall be filled
I will bear out some destiny
Even if I am killed
Even if I am killed
I will break out
But was it all for nothing, all this senseless misery
Does it stand for something in this dishonest imagery
Can I be forgiven for ever trusting all your lies
And will they ever listen to someone from the other side
Of this dead end
Disregard the time I once gave to your cause
I restored my life and I heard the applause

Another day and I am over it
This is no way to live, but it's where I sit
This emptiness inside is how I feel all the time
Stuck inside these walls — is this where I die
I'd rather die than have your security
So give me the axe or just drive it into me
So here I am, still here — haven't turned the page
Feeling my life fade, digesting in this cage
Just bitterness inside till the resentment climbs
I'll find my way out and claim the one place that's mine
I dream of days where I feel the trees
And see the world as I please
I hear the chants of wars in my head
But then they laugh, and fill me with dread
Living in these confines, trapped in outlines
Built by the architects who seek to kill my mind
Celebrating docility, they rob me of my ability
To think for myself and leave them all behind
Don't act like you know me
Or pretend you know my heart
Don't act like you know me
Your eyes misled you from the start
Your lies misled me from the fucking start
Living in a box just isn't for me
No, I'll tear it apart (I'll fucking tear it apart)
And quench the thirst of my will to be free
With the blood dripping down from my broken fingers

Solitude
04:01
|

This is my life now
Where will I turn
Will someone show me how
To let this fire burn
This trail is unmarked, a path seldom walked
The trees witness few who have broken their locks
For a life so divine, and a meaning so pure
The stones provide comfort for those who endure their truths
Solitude, I sing to you
The silence of legends has seen my heart through
Solitude, I sing to you
What once was a prison has left me to stand anew
I never believed I could be so free
Though painful illusions still creep into me
So I hold my head high and walk through the mist
And whenever I falter, willpower shines through clenched fists
Solitude, I sing to you
The silence of legends has seen my heart through
Solitude, I sing to you
What once was a prison has left me to stand anew
Fear me, Deceit, I have outlasted you
Return to the depths with the waning few
Who believe in you and your age-old lies
You have no more purpose, for I have opened my eyes
I’m so alone right now
Is this too much for me
This glowing light knows how
To lead me to victory
And yet, I doubt
I push through the fear
And see the growing sky
The wolves will never hear
A regretful cry
A regretful cry from me
