lyrics

you wanna feel this elation?
give up the world
abandon your frustrations
forget the stress if you can't rest with this enslavement
make the call
you be the fall of this whole matrix

I see you grovel for salvation

I'm apathetic
with mass aesthetics
laugh is wretched
you wanna be me you'll see things
and ask to forget it
yer ass'll regret it
this disease leaves lasting impressions
I eat trash for breakfast
I need to ask you a question
see these masks and prosthetics?
it's pathetic
it's pretentious
but at least I can act eccentric
please don't retract your affection
I need it to grasp a direction
only thing that I have is my rhetoric
but at least I can act eclectic
and I think I can wax poetic
I believe in abstract phonetics
so I'll head every last prophetic
lesson telling me how to relieve
myself of apathetic tendencies
never deceive my essence again
it's a penance I've ceased
a sentence reprieved
it's a detriment to be
so negative and bleak
but evidently everything
only exists to go extinct
yeah~~~

gaping hole
make me whole
take control
claim my soul
gaping hole
make me whole
take control
own my soul
only sold my innocence
why you listening
to this insolence
no more impotence
with this instrument
I am giving in
to this sin again
I wanna live again
so I will reject
his offence
and begin again
towards the imminent

I'll float behind the flow of time
and never know what's mine
until I take it
face it
only open minds can hope to find their way to greatness.
