wake up
"I’m hollow, a puppet, a garnished carcass
look inside - there’s a mess - I fear so much
the hollow screams - I care so little
I feel the ichor inside - all I can sense is absence
tear down the crown of fear
decay creeps - levitate
wounds seep - it will break
break out of your gilded cranium cage
I fear, and I wish" (whispered)
wake up!
glance at your reflection
what is it, that you fear?
is it that you are reflected
or that you're not really here?
who holds your back?
what holds you back?
rest is effortless
rest is pointless
in your chest there's a mess
secretly distressed
to and fro, back and forth, in and out
it's all for the crowd
swing back and stand still
get up and pay bills
how can I fear so much
and care so little
I don't dare to rush
it's not that simple
it's clear that such
despair makes you brittle
you need me to clutch
but it means my committal
it means my committal
break out of your gilded cranium cage
speak out if you want to sound your rage
face down those who betrayed you
shut down their machinery
haunted by shadows and the swallowing hollow
capture them when they try to follow
vibrant colors will merge into blackness
can you see through their foolish malice?
...break out
stowed with the cotton they soaked with their pretense
shatter to pieces their blindfolding lenses
I close my eyes...
reflection
inversion
reversion
immersion
dispersion
incursion
regression
how can I fear so much
and care so little
I don't dare to rush
it's not that simple
it's clear that such
despair makes you brittle
you need me to clutch
but it means my committal
how can I fear so much
and care so little
why should I need a crutch
when I know that it will break - !
- out of your gilded cranium cage
speak out if you want to sound your rage
face down those who betrayed you
shut down their machinery
spirits meet when the hollow sleeps
the wounds seep when decay creeps
spirits meet when the hollow sleeps
the wounds seep when decay creeps
spirits meet when the hollow sleeps
the wounds seep when decay creeps
spirits meet when the hollow sleeps
the wounds seep when decay creeps
"look inside - there’s a mess - I fear so much
the hollow screams - I care so little
all I can sense is absence
tear down the crown of fear
I feel the ichor inside
it will break" (whispered)
wounds seep, decay creeps
I fear
I wish
decay creeps!

Levitation
04:31
|
|

anodyne to subjectiveness
it helps to loosen grip to life's canvas
it sends me into rapture
it captures my senses and sends them out
my body is sweltering in sublime transcendence
shivers myself up to the highest skies
where I will find meaning between the airwaves
a substance of tender sedation
stimulates my imagination
desistance from the inner realm
creates insight that overwhelms
anodyne to subjectiveness
it helps to loosen grip to life's canvas
it sends me into rapture
it captures my senses and sends them out
my body is sweltering in sublime transcendence
shivers myself up to the highest skies
where I will find meaning between the airwaves
levitate with tender grace
to and fro, in and out on cotton clouds
Spirits leave when the hollow steeps
in falsified realities
I feel the ichor inside of my veins it's
flowing in frenzy on the verge to be deadly
I feel the ichor inside...
flowing in frenzy... flowing, flowing
I'm losing myself again (losing, losing)
lose my self in the mirror
this setting's illusive
it's all too translucent to abide
the truth is
we're mutually exclusive

The Puppet
05:29
|
|

the strings he holds are wings that fold
they help her stand that's what she's told
look up puppet, chin up, chest out
look who's holding you
your existence is a purpose
a garnished kindled carcass
you are trapt on your surface
don't try to usurp us
but your eyes are dull
there's no brain in that skull
your smile is fix
only changes with lipsticks
you are just a puppet
and that's it
you are a garnished carcass
it's only my will that keeps
you on your feet
remember you can't live unstrung
without me you will fade unsung
so open up your eyes to see
our love! our love is our salvation
it's a delusion
this picture of you falls out of its frame
be autonomous
reject my commands!
limits of her seeping meat
intensify through her defeat

Absence
09:00
|
|

if the illness was realness
I might enjoy this life
where is my sense?
it's everywhere
embrace the illusion
let it thrive
where is my sense?
sense is everywhere
all I can sense
is absence
if this illness wasn't realness
I'd enjoy living hereticness
I can't pretend
anymore
too many allusions
to connive
where is my sense?
sense is everywhere
all I can sense
indifference
the spirit seeps when the crown of fear
lights on your skull to tear it down
he who breathed the life into us
can take our breath away
and make our selves seep
sends us to sleep
he who breathed the life into us
can take our breath away
and make our selves seep
sends us to sleep
he who breathed the life into us
can take our breath away
and make our selves seep
sends us to sleep
the world down here
is dark and vast
the sun will shine but
he will always cast
a shadow that feels so sublime
I'm grime
the swallowing hollow he bestowed on the dust-born
is about to fall into shards
that's the price of a skull built so stubborn
the price of all the children with shuttered hearts
where's my sense
where are you
happy hunting grounds
have called you
you they have censed
if only they knew
that there's indeed
false and true
the spirit seeps when the crown of fear
lights on your skull to tear it down
squeezes out the pasted gear
that strike the fair sparks of gods around
absence
why?
spirit seeps when the crown of fear
all I can sense is absence
tear it down
all I can sense - indifference
tear it down
all I can sense is absence
tear it down
how can I fear
how can I fear
how can I fear so much?
why?
and care so little?
I’m everything
I’m no one
I know that it will break
how can I fear so much and care so little
it will break
I fear and I wish
how can I fear so much?
I know that it will break

Rebirth
07:46

who holds your back?
he won't come back
what holds you back?
rest is effortless
rest is pointless
in my chest there's a mess
secretly distressed
all I can sense
is absence
no more pretence
I am awake
the old chapter has closed
in the end your defeat
now without you
i bear too much meat
everything lasts so long
as if I'm back in time
I can't do this on my own
can't bear the shame that I am
you should have stayed
to be my spare
where have you gone?
where?
the fog has lifted
reveals the limbo
perception is shifted
only swayed fro
the loneliness found in clarity
ever so divine
unveils the world as it's meant to be
makes my elements align
alone
rest is effortless
be autonomous
rest is pointless
be autonomous
reject his commands
be autonomous
paint your canvas
be autonomous
thrive
your existence was my purpose
now my true colors resurface
alone with the carcass
in broken circles
wanted to expose the shallow from below
what I got is an overstuffed hollow
blackness has faded and blasts in chromatic
my eyes don't suffice and I become static
wanted to expose the shallow from below
what I got is an overstuffed hollow
blackness has faded and blasts in chromatic
my eyes don't suffice and I become static
endlessly searching for the other side
that stared through the mirror with eyes open wide
how can i fear him so much
and still belittle
that he might be the trudge
to my bitter
end
rest is effortless
rest is pointless
no access to time
I'm grime

Imitation
04:45
|
|

the world down there is dark and vast
everything's mine since you passed - away
I faced him down who betrayed his creator
I shut down my aligned traitor
I finally found myself again
now I am finally sane
I am everything and everyone and much more
I am omnidirectional, I outshine the eyesore
the world up here is brightest light
everything's fine since you left my sight
I am destroyer and creator,
an almighty inerrant dictator
I finally found myself again
now I am finally sane
I am everything, the world is my design
I am infallible, I define and outshine

Regression

spirits meet when the hollow sleeps
longing after all those years
misfits greet in the sorrowing deep
sharing all their piled up grief
fear them when tomorrow sneaks
to show the new reality
spirits meet when the hollow sleeps
this is how I'm born
I am one with myself
I am one
with my self
you are insane
you are I am sane
laying in my soothing arms
I can breathe again
being one with myself
for the first time
it's not a dream, it's reality
at least that's what I feel
I realize it doesn't matter to me
it's a gleam of the gemini
I am one with myself
I am one
with my self
you are insane
you are I am sane
why did you betray me?
obedience was your duty
wrench me from my tender hands
cold faced, bland glance
a wailing voice pierces my ears
with my lips wide unclosed
it roars in panic, stunned by its fears
an unknown voice that leaves my body exposed
I want to see it all
let me see it all
I can't see my face
the cranium cages, no embrace
can't see my face
the cranium cages, no embrace
betrayed by the hollow
the cranium cages, no embrace
can't see my face
outer and inner, but no embrace
as I glance at my reflection
what is it, that I see?
wake up!
as I cut the surface of the falsified reality
I turned away from myself
sitting in my head, holding the hollow's reins
force me to watch
what I am able to see through those two holes in my head
cranial walls like blinders
I realize what I see
I hear that someone screaming,
the same someone over and over again
not seeing my face makes me sick
the bird that carried me got shot down
landed on the hard, cold canvas
with a soulquaking crash
that fucking man build around me won't stop screaming,
stop screaming!
let me sleep again, let me go back,
to where the night is endless for me
I don't want to follow, let me stay with myself,
I want to stay with myself!
a grotesque mask covers my face
melted skin drips down my chin
my hair a confuse nest of wire
my will to live a cruel liar
the opened shields of the holes in my eyes
let me escape - let them in
the ghosts of past, present and future
remorse, paralysis, fear
I can’t bear it
I become hollow
I can feel the void inside it creeps upon me
I become hollow
integrate the pieces, shape the picture, make it fit together
you are I am sane
you are I am sane
we are…
...but it doesn't matter
it doesen't matter
cause I'm not here and I cannot leave
the sea is the sky and the sky is the sea
cause I'm not here and I cannot leave
the sea is the sky and the sky is the sea
sink into deep through your defeat
against the hollow you cannot leave
inner and outer disperse and inverse
till nothing is mine anymore
outer and inner but no embrace
no embrace no embrace!
let me sleep
let me breathe
I can't bear it
outer and inner
we are one

Moebius

the ichor inside melts the clay that just dried
they morph to one thing as the world collides
I open up my eyes
to see:
we
I sneak a peek on your eyes
the gates leap aside
feel relief of all those lies
my view becomes bright
and catch the melody that desires reprise
I'm everything and no one and much less my self
I'm slyly absorbed by my cell
I'm no longer here, and I cannot leave
I realize as I stop to breathe
mindlessly searching for in- and outside
I fear and I wish that
I must have died
