Wormholes and wastelands
The fall of man
The degradation of a broken society
Mass murder
A wolf in the herd
Or that nobody gets what they fucking deserve
A blind eye judging what it sees
A lost soul implodes and wilts like its dreams
No cathartic catastrophe, metanoia
Never escaping the grave that's been dug by the hands of fate
Feed my dreams with delusion, a damning conclusion
There's nothing inside a mind destroyed by illusions of solace and peace
A phantom forever
Molded to only exist within dreams
A beautiful mind collapsed by reality
A phantom forever
Fractured by guilt from an unloving pain
It never stops and it's built to grow
If only into an escape
Let it in and it's over
Let it in and it's over now
Desolate epiphany at the surface
To grasp the straws and hold tight the flame
Deliver me unto the newest void
Let it out and leave me with pain
Let it in and it's done
Let it out, it's only begun
The only relief comes with the moon
Enter the cycle of gloom
Scorn is suspended while fortune fades away
Following darkness into the deepest black
All hands are severed as they claw for me
Please save yourself
I tried to warn you
I tried to warn you
If this is what you wish, descend into madness with me
A phantom forever
Molded to only exist within dreams
A beautiful mind collapsed by reality
A phantom forever
Fractured by guilt from an unloving pain
It never stops and it's built to grow
And I've finally been given an escape
A phantom forever
Molded to only exist within dreams
A beautiful mind collapsed by reality
A phantom forever
Fractured by guilt from an unloving pain
It never stops and it's built to grow
And I've finally been given an escape
With hindsight, I take control
I gave it all I had, my heart my blood, my soul.
