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

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

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

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

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 ?

about

"Inheritance" is the second full length from the band and is resulting from 6 years of introspectives and personal thoughts.
The explored themes are more complex and more intimate. The questionings and observations are deeper and blended with a darkness we don't know how to avoid.
The same darkness that has been leading us all this time.

A richer album, more complex, heavier and more intense than the previous one.
