i remain, a stain upon your life

and through all of this, i know you’re at the end

waiting at the doorway, anticipating my every move

but will i move the right way?

these paths have become all just a blur to me

i know you’re there, awaiting my arrival

awaiting my survival, but broken limbs can only reach so far



i am a problem that you just can’t fix

dead through everything you fit me in

just a piece of plastic processed through this machine

will only take the dirt just to make me clean

all of the wheels have made their mark

grinding me into my place

you’ll never know another face

these machines have already rendered me

and rendered all my senses blind



you are the key to the door

that unlocks my downfall

can i bury the hatchet before it buries me alive?

before you take me away too soon, i never had a chance to die

the flags are already torn and burnt

you are one minute, one second too late

love never came, and i had to settle for hate



now look what you have done to me

you wonder why i can’t stand you, you’re one with my reflection

i can take you apart like no other

the only one who knows you well enough

knows which way the pieces come apart

and what will bring you furthest down

what will take you underground

the angel shall arrive, but seconds late

your salvation shall have to wait



i’m still waiting here for something

an anything to come

the other day i tried to feel

but everything was numb

last one left, although i’m never here

it’s the only way to happiness, although i call it fear

one minute, one second too late

the time has come to seal your fate



and i know you’re not coming back

there’s nothing left of you to return

and my fire is slowly going out

before it had a chance to burn

everything has gone away

leaving me like this, draining me away

loneliness is paradise, nobody to pull the trigger but myself

but even then, there’d be nobody left to see this



just like insects, we feed off each other

and prey off each others minds

consuming for our so-called needs

until the land forever bleeds

we’ll bring it all down again

the dead come out like living beings

this hate comes out like morbid scenes

you can close your eyes, pretend you cannot see this

but it’s already taken you away



i live in the shadow underneath you all

you’re too late to save me now because i’m already dead and gone

already sunk too low, i’ve already left this show

please show me the way to live

i’m taking much more than i can give

you can claw this mask away, but i’ll bet there’s nothing underneath

this is what i am, what you have made of me

the past has become a ghost, already dead in my head

i’m borne anew into this fragile state

should i forgive you or forget you?

for bringing this out of me



i can feel it all slipping away

you can feel it too, understand i’m through

just one verification that i’d never know the way

you can let me out of this cage now

although i’ve got no place to go

to bow before this routine would be the only path to go

don’t ask me the way, because i’d never know

clawing at this stone, you left me here alone

and drowning in this dream, that is periodically a nightmare



the vision has gone black, and everything is endless

you make me throw it all down and i make you take it for me

take the medication for me, i couldn’t bare to

i can’t handle that which you’ve given to me

don’t pretend i don’t know that you’re laughing beneath me



this life was never anything, this life can wait

this life, a laden mask and jaded portrait

this life was death in a disguise

this life could never close your eyes

stay awake through the nightmare

but asleep to the signs

i cannot help you now

you’re beyond my control

one day i tried to live, but nothing came of it
