- 08 - Metamorphosis
I've lived life drained, void of emotions. I've lived life drained, I will
never become this again. I will rise over this. Smash through obstacles with a
heart of gold and a mind of steel. Nothing will stand in my path, I've been
consumed by my thoughts, I've become what I've always despised, they only way I
can absolve myself is with your lies. I've been pushed to the edge where my
mind knows no bounds, never again. My mind has released itself from this
anguish and I will overcome this suffering I will be whole and I will overcome
this suffering I will be whole once again. and I will become the answer to my
- 4D
I know what it was like to lose someone who raised you
Did they still love you when they lost their grip in overdose
Facing doors I'd never hold a key to
Searching for gold in a broken home
I know what it was like to have a gift to give away
I know what it was like to prove to them you had something
- Abomination
Re-emerging as a monster
Re-emerging as a monster
an imposter out of lifelines
manning a dead mind
abomination
I'm a slave to blame
- Abrasumente
remake, reform the consciousness
let the light bleed out of your eyes and mouth
seek the answers to the question that constrain your
mind to this
we are the severed minds disconnected from the masses
a world of free thinkers
- Animate
The narrow road is all I know
No map to guide us
No compass beside us
The narrow road
The great unknown
The grater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life
No more assembly lines of aspirations connecting carbon copy clones
- Aspire
I'll carve my own name into the earth
I'll carve my own name into the earth
Don't tell me how to think
Don't tell me how to live my own life
I make my own decisions
And I'll pay the ultimate price
A collection of memories (memories)
- Carbonized
(Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat
Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat)
Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat
if the shit floats run it through the main line
sugar sweet with a bitter beat, strip the paint
you're just praying your prey remain snowblind
- Citizen
Save us
If you thought You knew it all • Don’t shift your view,
You might slip and fall • A long way down and down this
rabbit hole • If the tunnel runs any deeper • You might come
out the other side of the world • Maybe upside down you’ll be
able see This isn’t what it seems • We are far from free
- Clockwork
I'm running out of time
I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling, so
I'm running out of time
I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling, so
I'm running out, I'm running on a feeling, so
These are lonely words
Barely on the page
I've a million thoughts but I can't let them escape
- Corruption
I opended my eyes to the world.
Day after day I searched for answers.
As time went by I grew further away from who I was.
I felt lost chasing a ghost I might never find,
But what I found I wasn't prepared for.
Everywhere I look I see crime without punishment;
I just didn't know where to begin.
I am holding onto what bit of sanity I have left. x2
- Cypher
Turn me in to a battery
if i get to be who I wanna be
no "One", no prodigy
will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
a false prophecy
- Dark Solitaire
I'm falling, falling in
into my head
I'm falling, falling in
into my head
walking against the wind
dark solitaire
- Dream Awake
Pay close attention
Or else you'll miss what's happening
We worship the sun
Yet we burn its rays
So we seek out the dark
So we seek out the shade
It's such a mix of emotions
We call it regret
- Eclipse
Salted streams of dismay
Cascade down my swollen face
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
And I can taste your failure
BLAME
A loyal dog on a tight lead
- exposure
I'll tear the memories out of my subconscious
And piece together where I went wrong.
Sewn together with the strands of lament
I'll cloak myself in a veil of remorse and regret,
That keep me bound to a world that will never forget.
So as I walk through the street
Eyes and voices consume my mind, they stare ambiguously.
- Freefall
The curtains were always drawn
Splinters of light spilled through the walls
Escape was alone in my sleep
Cause now I can't feel
I can't feel at all
I can't feel at all
Your embrace in this freefall
- Genesis
Every single moment time will melt away my life
What choices do I have, how do I know is wrong or right?
How do I speak of what I see through my own eyes?
Without telling you that the truth you've known is all a lie
Stop living the lie, existing just because you can
I can be the dreamer
I can, I am
- Hollow
I never forgot the time I lost faith in this a lost journey of many years, my
heart has been torn in twain but still I stand and here I shall remain, with a
feeble mind and a sea of lies dragging me to the depths of false beliefs, I
seek the answer, the search will consume me until I sleep and perhaps dream of
such a reality. shame lurks within my soul, in my tortured dreams, but I'm free
from the shackles of ignorance, right now! I am free! I am drowning in
unhallowed waters, merely a hollow vessel of existence, merely a vessel of
existence. looking through faithless eyes, am I afraid to die? are you afraid
- Inamorata
You drained my lungs of water
so i could breathe
my ankles locked in concrete
you broke me free
repaired my twisted vision
and calmed the tide
you told me I was homebound
- Jinn
Brick by brick, from day one
The odds were stacked against me
Brick by brick, overrun
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun
- Leech
Follow me underwater until the searchlights leave the shore.
Follow me underwater until we find what we're looking for.
Plastic oceans, plastic farms
Cover your footprints like a bandaid on a broken arm.
They found the pipeline through the soul in the soil.
I thought this place never changed
But now the reefs are bleeding swells of oil
And the forests are up in flames.
- Masquerade
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust, those eyes of yours I cannot trust
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust, those eyes of yours I cannot trust
You all act innocent but I have seen your true face
Stop lying to yourself; you're nothing but a fucking disgrace
You're a fucking disgrace
How can you trust anyone when you can't even trust your friends?
- Metamorphosis
I've lived life drained, void of emotion.
I've lived life drained.
I will never become this again.
I will rise over this.
Smash through obstacles with a heart of gold and a mind of steel;
Nothing will stand in my path.
I've been consumed by my thoughts.
I've become what I've always despised.
- Node
You can be the change
Pain is the elixir that keeps us entertained
Flowing through a looking glass
Numbing stinging eyes of shame
Absence rinses guilt away
But our conscience is still stained
You can be the catalyst
- Nova
I've finally opened my eyes
I think I needed the time
needed to lose my mind
to find my way to the surface
I didn't see the signs
thought I as doing fine
turns out that I was blind
- Obelisk
Time in constant motion,
Like the shifting desert sands
Slipping through my hands
Chasing down the minutes,
That turn into days
Seconds get shorter,
As years fall away
- Obsidian
In cycles of voracity
we radiate human decay
lost within the lines drawn
it's futile, we're too far gone
we're too far gone
we're infinite points to a star
- Paradigm
I'm here with you
But I won't hold my breath
For you to fix this disconnect
I'm filled with doubt
Won't hold my breath
I've seen your past
I lived through it
- Plenty
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me
Falling silent, going mad
I've gone walkabout with the parasites in my head
Far too quiet, it's deafening
As I pick away at the surface, the itch burns through my skin
When the dirt crushes my bones (ooh)
- Quantum Flux
Set me free!
Feeling all the love, I swear that it's in the air
Leaving me floating forever, into infinity
I can see the colours dance when I close my eyes
Witnessing mysterious design
I can feel my body rush
From the love inside of me
- Quantum Flux Cover by Rosya
Set me free.
Feeling all the love, I swear that it's in the air,
Leaving me, floating forever into infinity,
I can see the colours dance when I close my eyes,
Witnessing mysterious design.
I can feel my body rush
- Rift
I'm not afraid
Of the void
Between me and you
The things that divide us
Just lines in the sand
Lies never true
- Rot
So cold my soul's numb
Like an icy breeze on solstice morning
The worst enemy’s one that’s homegrown
This is more than just a faceless warning.
Don't let the world rot
Don't let the world rot
Hanging by a thread they just putrefy
- Set In Stone123
words from a distant past
echo throughout my mind
changing me, destroying me
whispers of the dead
pull me under and they have
been doing so for so long,
they have been doing so
- Singularity
[An excerpt of a Terrence Mckenna Speech:]
"We have to stop consuming our culture. We have to create culture. Don't watch TV, don't read magazines, don't even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time, where you are now, is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you're
worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, you are disempowered. You are giving it all away to icons. Icons which are maintained by an electronic media, so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of
thinking. That is all cultural diversion. And what is real is you and your friends, your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, and your fears. And we are told no. We're unimportant, we're peripheral, get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a
that, and then you're a player. You don't even want to play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones
of a dying world. Where is that at?".
- Singularity by Michael Lawler
LYRICS
The familiar ring of my alarm clock
waking me up at half past 8
Everything seeming normal
till I assess my mind's state
I quickly inject the numbness into my brain
keeping the demons at bay
- Sleepless
I can't reach your hand
I can't liberate you
I know you're alive
But in my heart I've said goodbye
So tonight
I'm sleepless
Afraid of what I might become
- Soma
Daydreamer
Rise and shine
Daily deja vu
Yet still surprised
Watch the weary world with greyscale eyes
A millionaire in my mind
With a pocket full of lint
- Talking Heads
Tip-toe through the ruins of my mind
Desolation in disguise
I've been locked out of my thoughts for a long time
The rusted gates
Deteriorate
Do my insecurities relate?
It's like I'm waiting to fall apart
- The Calling
I am here to show you there is hope in a dying world
(I can hear the calling)
And if you don't believe me you won't even see that what you're living in is hell
You're living in hell
I am here to spread and speak the truth
I am here to heal and do what's right
Dissolving fear, spreading the light
I am here to open and free your mind
- Transcending Dimensions
All my life I've been searching for something
To put my faith into to give my life to you.
And I will love you in this world and if there's a next.
And I will love you in this world and if there's a next.
Among the chaos of this world
And the overwhelming tide of responsibility
I remember how long it's been since I've felt
- Vultures
Set fire
To an icon
Set fire
To the lie
Set fire
Bid farewell
I'll be a martyr to myself
- Weightless
Weightless my body
Floats in eternity
Weightless beyond the earth's gravity
A euphoric perpetual gaze
I taste the light of days
Beneath a luminescent haze
I cross the convoluted maze
- Worldeater
You think you see the world
I'll tell you nothing's how it seems
You think you see the world
I'll tell you nothing's how it seems
Organ of intuition, suppressed and maimed
Believed to be "Nothing but a Dream"
Dimethylated spirits on fire in me
- Xen
Listen, feel, keep your lips sealed
nothing's real beyond your ideals
hold it in, shed a new skin
contamination, sent into a headspin
it doesn't have to be poetry
that doesn't mean that it can't speak
if it's forged in sincerity
- Zero-One
Comatose in the arms of Morpheus
Drifting away to a place
Where there’s more than this
Blindfolded visionary, eyes lost in the black and bleak
Chasing footsteps in the dark, lost for where they’ll lead
Idols and stars shower light on the sublime
Blinding your mind’s eye
