This is it, at the end of the world, start again now
In this forsaken wasteland
In this forsaken frozen life
Is there a way beyond it?
In this disturbed condition
In this disturbed state of despair
Is there a way to cure it?
In this surmounting tension
In this surmounting hate and fear
How to release the pressure?
In this dystopian prison
In this dystopian cage of hell
How to avoid containment?
I bleed to feel alive, pulsing in the veins
Seeing only red covering the hands
Dream to kill the dark nightmares in the mind
Memories remain, haunting to describe
Scream to drown the noise, suffocate the sound
Silence all the fear, keep the voices out
Breathe to find some peace, calm the shaken nerves
Chaos feels intense, the other side of death
Empty faces long for any sense of hope
Feeling so alone, wanting more
Mindless people die for lives within a dream
Reasons far beneath consciousness
Life extinguished vapid and desolate beliefs
Numb to everything, ignorant
Darkness deepens, creeps and slithers all around
Doesn’t make a sound, silent death
Empty faces long for any sense of hope
Feeling so alone, wanting more
Mindless people die for lives within a dream
Reasons far beneath consciousness
Life extinguished vapid and desolate beliefs
Numb to everything, ignorant
Darkness deepens, creeps and slithers all around
Doesn’t make a sound, silent death
Standing in this dark abyss, wond’ring what’s amiss
Longing to escape, feeling only pain
Desperate to regain some stability
Fighting to survive, somehow find the light
I bleed to feel alive, pulsing in the veins
Seeing only red covering the hands
Dream to kill the dark nightmares in the mind
Memories remain, haunting to describe
Scream to drown the noise, suffocate the sound
Silence all the fear, keep the voices out
Breathe to find some peace, calm the shaken nerves
chaos feels intense, the other side of death
Dystopia
Dystopia
I bleed to feel alive, pulsing in the veins
Seeing only red covering the hands
Dream to kill the dark nightmares in the mind
Memories remain, haunting to describe
Scream to drown the noise, suffocate the sound
Silence all the fear, keep the voices out
Breathe to find some peace, calm the shaken nerves
chaos feels intense, the other side of death
In this forsaken wasteland
In this forsaken frozen life
Is there a way beyond it?
In this disturbed condition
In this disturbed state of despair
Is there a way to cure it?
In this surmounting tension
In this surmounting hate and fear
How to release the pressure?
In this dystopian prison
In this dystopian cage of hell
How to avoid containment?
