Addicted To Negativity
05:20
|
|||
Manipulated
By my own rotten mind
Each thought of vertue avoided
Low self esteem rules
Prisoner of dark shapes
That always lead my way of life
Spending my days roaming in vain
Between pains, between strifes
Attracted by others like me
Nothing good from our tales
Absence of light around us
So we can't see through ourselves, fathomless
On a road to misery
I would crash in any wall
If it could help the evil me
Move along there is nothing to see
Just a man addicted to negativity
Reality dying after each sunset
A dark veil before my eyes
Colours turning to grey
Reality on a state of decay
Reflecting the worst of people
In a room, a void gatherer
Don't come too close
I could make you drown
Slowly breathing, quickly sinking
Hardly living, gently drifting
Poorly loving, self disgusting
World collapsing, mainly dying
Move along there is nothing to see
Just a man addicted to negativity

Euphoria And Misery
06:34
|
|||
Lost in your inner space
No time to waste, they’re coming back
Take more pills, more colors, more sizes
See the world a better place
So they see you a better man
Smile, walk, breath, you can run to escape
Nothing can break my ambitions
I’m my own god, I’m not a coward
I can fight to find my way out
Come and see what you did
Gaze at those landscapes of hell
Your minds on a battlefield
Your spirit in a cell
Just a pawn in a game you lost
Once again
Take more pills, more colors, more sizes
See the world a better place
So they see you a better man
Smile, walk, breath, you can run to escape
Nothing can break my ambitions
I’m my own god, I’m not a coward
I can fight to find my way out
Fight for what? All is rotten, all is dead
People, ideas and life itself
No one will ever remember you
Whatever you think, whatever you do
You can try, you can hope
But you know I’m right
If I kill you monster, I will be free
No one will stop me, not even myself
Whatever you think, it will end my journey
No one will stop me, not even myself
Euphoria and Misery will go away

Watch Me Fall
06:30
|
|||
Memories are melting
Joy and anger fading
Old remembrance of dying thoughts
Fears and delights from my past days
Never knew how to deal with life
Time keeps flying away
Didn’t want to die before I’m dead
Now I see myself and It’s too late
Didn’t want to die but it’s too late
I didn’t learn to speak your tongue
Hard to say when something’s wrong
Talking to myself all day long
Now my empty shell is really strong
No one cares
No one can help me
I’ve stepped too far above from all
With all your wishes and all your will
All you can do is watch me fall
Didn’t want to die before I’m dead
Now I see myself and It’s too late
Didn’t want to die but it’s too late
Don’t try to catch me before I hit the ground
I’m so heavy I’ll break you down
All these years waiting for my final round to come
The hole is waiting, the hole is done

A Great Void
06:40
|
|||
A great void, a beginning I have forgotten
An end that seems to never come
Not a single dream to fulfill
A great void, that could perfectly happen without me
A breeding program
Written in the depths of our guts
Nothing more to do here
Never was, never will be
I was born in spite of myself
Never had a choice, never made a single one
I will disappear on purpose
To feel like I had a role to play
A great void I wish you wouldn’t know
When I’m gone, I will create yours
It will be my fault, please forgive me
To let you handle my Legacy
Your legacy !
At the dawn of my decline
You will witness the emptiness to come
Nothing will make sense anymore
Above your head only clouds
Pooring their dark drops
Painting your upcoming path
Absorbing the lights
Remember no one
Remembers anything
That moment I will disappear
Sorrow will be the only one left
And will fade away with some tears

Death Into Heredity
07:45
|
|||
A muffle sound coming to me, multiple Lights dazzling my eyes
Dissolving bliss, doubt and anxiety, new world of fear, a world of lies
What my eyes could see, was reversed in reality
Nothing to claim and nothing to give, but death into heredity
A pointless fight against the clock
Moving forward, watching the clouds
Turning to white, turning to black
A bit of rain, a bit of sun, a bit of snow
Breathing, crying as I grow
Someone used to protect me, and then disappeared
Without a word, nothing else to hear
Fragile, old and decaying, am I him now?
Pull my way out of this mess, expectations left behind
The clock in my head endlessly ticking, an alarm I can’t disconnect
What my eyes could see, was reversed in reality
Nothing to claim and nothing to give, but death into heredity
Will you repeat the circle ?
Filling the inner void with struggle
Taking the straight line to emptiness
As a dying piece of flesh
Moving forward, watching the ground
Turning to black, and now it’s gone
The sun doesn’t shine for me anymore
Withering to death, a fading core
I used to protect you, watch me disappear
Happened so fast I couldn’t say a word
Fragile, old and decaying
I’m sorry, you are me now

Self Hatred
05:38
|
|||
Facing the decadence of my vanishing soul
A body crumbling apart an irrational work of art
Years have let ruins of a once proud man
Corrosion of a so called youth
Melting in front of me
The mirror is clean, the face is broken
Trapped in a cycle of rot
Powerless, the portrait changing
Drawing itself, alone
I need to burn it down
Lying on the ground staring above the trees
Earth underneath calling for my body
This jail which confines me
I need to dismantle
Taking the knife
Pull off my eyes
Blinded
So I can’t see myself
The pain I feel helps me to know I’m still alive
The hate I feel for me a bliss I can’t deny
Self-Hatred, no more guilt I’ll enjoy each part of it
Self Hatred, I implore you my neurosis I fell for
Breaking down every glass
Splitting the weight of hate
Tearing myself apart
To host it piece by piece
Reflections on the walls
And deep cuts on my face
Demise of the true self
Dissolution of hurt

Remembrance
05:34
|
|||
I fail to remember my past
Forgetting myself by the time I grow up
Changing so fast
Betraying my younger self, the inner child
I had nothing special
You have been everything
I try to feel my memories, I have to show you all I know
You live behind mental fences, I cannot break, before I go
Try not to be me, Become what you are
Try not to be me, Your day will come
In a perfect remembrance of what have been
It felt like you couldn’t remember my face
I hoped I would make a difference
But I became a ghost in your eyes
I truly died
Everything fades here, so will my senses
I have to protect this part of me
Our world collapses My brain on decay
Memories flying away
True or not, our life
Will remain between us
A barren shade
I cannot fight
Your will to forget me
I tried to feel my memories, I had to show you all I knew
You lived behind mental fences
I couldn’t break, before the end
Try not to be me, become what you must
Try not to be me, your day will come

Contemptus Mundi
06:55
|
|||
When you no longer feel anything
that everything is the same, tasteless
When we're just an empty box nothing to put in
A life spent filling the abyss
like to be reassured to be alive
When the night devours the day
Everything looks dark and cold
Only our heartbeats resonate
In a recital for the deaf
When we hit the walls
No way to feed hope
When we are made to believe in vain utopias
Falling seems the safest option
To this world that we despise
We leave behind what we hate
We are just an army of shadows
Seeking to engulf your lights
A ce monde que l’on méprise
Entendez cette ultime mise en garde
En voulant nous anéantir
Vous avez délaissé les vôtres
Que reste-t-il de votre fierté désormais ?
Ne voyez-vous pas la honte naître de notre mort ?
