Found my strength in hiding
I’ll forget my name and blend into the shade
Lately I’m unwinding the longer that I stay
I drew a map in my arm
Follow along the incisions to weather the dark
I’m tempting the scars to fade away in part
Oh wasted years, wasted light
Feed until I’m satisfied
Bite the hand; bite my tongue
Clenching when I’m terrified
Is it all worth fighting?
How soon will I fade and fall beneath the wave?
Patience has defied me the deeper that I wade
I’ve begun to break
My greatest fear, I’ve always kept close
Left it broken but breathing
Now is the right time to let go
Now is the time it must find a new host
Oh wasted years, wasted light
Feed until I’m satisfied
By my hand, bite my tongue
Passive suicide
Break apart the trial and I will listen
Knock it down and end this intermission
Someday I will return; I will return the favor
Wake me up, the time has come
No it can’t; it cannot get the best of me
Shed this skin, break my soul
Wake me up before I fall
Shed my skin, break my soul
Wake me up before I fall

Rebirth, tattered and torn
The hell that we once adorned
This shell, weathered and worn
Ripping the heart from the core
Breathe in
The rise and fall
Lead me to feel at all
Fever within my veins
My features disintegrate
You were the campaign slogan on my cigarette
I closed my teeth around the nicotine
I breathed it in while my tongue was still wet
And I have revelled in the fantasy
I have surrendered to the doubt
Where would I be without standing my ground?
I have surrendered to the sound
All of me stubbornly pacing it out
Reverse the cellular scourge
I’m finding it hard to endure
This shell, weathered and worn
Sentience I’m searching for
You were the campaign slogan on my cigarette
I closed my teeth around the nicotine
I breathed it in while my tongue was still wet
And I have revelled in the fantasy
I have surrendered to the doubt
Where would I be without standing my ground?
I have surrendered to the sound
All of me stubbornly pacing it out
Intertwined
Expanding the outline
Intertwined
Abandon the apathy

Keep away, for this will pass
‘Cause the voice of reason in my head is always keeping me in debt
A need to medicate, I did not expect
The beast of burden biting back
A somber and unwilling attack
I know, I know I’m coming back here
I swear that I’m only running from the static
I don’t, no I don’t care if I show the features of an addict
I’ve been here before
Now I’m burning out the flame
God I’ve been here before
Now I’m the only one to blame
Start again with just one left
The belief is well over my head that I will ever mend
Worst of all I had a plan
Now hold me with a steady hand
Pull me to the ground again
I know, I know I’m coming back here
I swear that I’m only running from the static
I don’t, no I don’t care if I show the features of an addict
I’ve been here before
Now I’m burning out the flame
God I’ve been here before
Now I’m the only one to blame
Epidemic in motion; slow down

Rebellion is inspiration
Peace achieved by decimation
Naked minds afraid destined to decay
Become filleted, the corpse displayed
Our army is monumental
Lie awake, no answers from heaven
Now you will decay
Naked minds afraid
Nothing lights the way
Rebellion is inspiration
Peace achieved by decimation
Become filleted, your corpse displayed
To cleanse the wound of filth: shatter the earth
To purge the world: shatter the earth
To cleanse the wound of filth: shatter the earth
To purge the world of this hell: shatter the earth
Bodies disappear
Panic floods the streets
A life lived in fear
Your children stolen as they sleep
Scrape away the infection
Planetary disease
You wither away, helpless pests
Insignificant filth, I will not hear your pleas
You will decay
Now your mind will tremble
Memories left behind
Stars reassemble
Saved by my design
