The Shadowed Self
06:47

The life I'm lving when my eyes are wide awake
Seems like a shadow of who I'm supposed to be
Expectations thrust upon me are in vain
When my true self lies dormant in my dreams
Who am I? When I laugh? When I cry?
Even my emotions are slowly becoming lies
This prison you call opportunity
Is just a reflection of your insecurity
Set me free
Every hour, every minute, every second I'm growing weary, altering my perception
How is this world to tell me how to live
When it can't even wash itself of its sins?
Who am I? When I laugh? When I cry?
Even my emotions are slowly becoming lies
This prison you call opportunity
Is just a reflection of your insecurity
I will bring light
To my shadowed self
Beneath the surface I know that I can break free
From the future that was carved out for me
So I chip away, and I chip away
Until the shackles that were placed at my feet
Are nothing but shards and debris
And I can break away I can break away
I will now bring light
To this new life My shadowed self

I stare out my window In this ocean of black
I sail further onward
Because there's no turning back
There's a glimmer of sunlight Just around the bend
That's what I tell myself
On days I wish I were dead
I hoped that there would be
So much more on worlds beyond
All I have found on the quest for new life is Isolation
Tell me you hear me
On the ground below
Am I lost in the static
Or have you already let go
I long for the sweet pull of gravity
My feet on the ground
The deafening silence far beyond the sun Is the deadliest sound
My search for new heartbeats has taken me
Far and wide
But all I can see now are
Distant Stars and planets that have died
Grip the hanger doors my knuckles turning white take a deep breath and say my final goodbye
Grip the hanger doors my knuckles turning white take a deep breath and say my final goodbye

Gods In Cocoons
05:27
|

Creatures of legend or monsters of our own design?
Sealed away in ancient chambers, hidden since the dawn of time
They are omnipotent
They are imminent
Our deepest nightmares, are soon to become our truth
For we can’t predict the horrors when gods emerge from their cocoon Will the oceans flood the earth or will the plates divide?
Any attempt to brave this storm is surely suicide.
Do we bow? Do we kneel? Do we plead?
Are they the cure and we the disease?
Do we fight? Do we run? Do we bleed?
Do we die like dogs or fight like kings?
Do we bow? Do we kneel? Do we plead?
Are they the cure and we the disease?
Do we fight? Do we run? Do we bleed?
Do we die like dogs or fight like kings?
Do we unite? Do we fear? Do we hide?
Are they the key to our demise?
Accept our fate? Apologize?
Gods in Cocoons, please spare our lives!
They are omnipotent
They are imminent
Written in prophecy
They are our destiny
