Nothing remains

I shout these words to those who never listened
I pen this letter with the utmost conviction
It’s been dark in here, cold and relentless
It’s been too long; I can no longer fight this

Too late to change my mind
Nothing remain
I’ve silenced the pain

All the years passed, no one heard my true feelings
You continued to act like you knew me
Did you ever stop to think that I’d might be able
To look in your eyes and say that I’m stable?

To late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I’ve silenced the pain

Don’t tell me
That I am
Taking the
Easy way out
Don’t tell me
That I am
Taking the
Easy way out
(No)

Go
No underlying message to figure out
What you got from me is what I put out
No underlying message to figure out
What you got from me is what I put out
No one knew a thing about me
Just longing to be accepted
Wait ‘til you see what I’ve become (Become)
My lifelessness
My lifelessness

Too late to change my mind
Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I’ve silenced the pain
Nothing remains
I’ve silenced the pain

Nothing remains

What a shame, breaking down
What is getting the best of you
Take a breath, it’s not complex
I’m going to put your mind at ease
Innocent people are not meant to suffer
We’re making negative energy power
This will be our truth

Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us, we’re stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We’ll save ourselves

You’re afraid that I’m right
I know it eats you up inside
Well listen to me and you will see
You have to let those fears fly free
The only danger in this world is to be
Weak-minded with insecurities
This won’t be our truth

Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us, we’re stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We’ll save ourselves

(Why, why) Why do you fear every one of us?
(Why, why) Why do you hate every one of us?
You crush us
You crush us
You crush us
(Why, why) Why do we feel we are wasting our time?

Go away, end this now
You need to get down off this cloud
Start focusing and listening
And it feels it’s the time to change things
When I’m alone, I don’t feel hopeless at all
The day must come where we can stand tall
And this will be our truth

Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us, we’re stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We’ll save ourselves
Save ourselves
So, can you feel we’ll save ourselves

A blank expression
Pale eyes wide, cocked back
The sheer stagnation
Shame to all who thought this an act
The best years of this life
Felt wasted protecting a secret
Insecurities fed on like a rat

Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualise the horrors inside

Burning sensation
To live just one day
In pure elation
Blame the ones who took this away
Can’t provide shelter from
The dangers festering outside
Can’t provide safety from
Monsters trapped within the mind

Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualise the horrors inside

Shake the hand of God
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun (Than the sun)
The perception becomes weaker
The sun starts to fade away (Fade away)
The blank expression on the blade
Skin calloused yet easy to pierce
On the floor, blood mixed with tears

Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualise the horrors inside

Shake the hand of God
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun (Is brighter than the sun)
The perception becomes weaker
Weaker

Endless nights filled with misery
Sick of familiar patterns
Bruise after cut
Can’t wash away my scars

This is a night of salvation (Salvation)
On the night of salvation (Salvation)

This life always pained me
Tired of the same routine
All lies I’ve told
Can’t hide the little things

This is a night of salvation (Salvation)
On the night of salvation (Salvation)

Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away
Cower away
Adrenaline stronger than ever
Feel it all come together
Adrenaline stronger than ever
Feel it all come together
Go

On the night of salvation (Salvation)
On the night of salvation (Salvation)

Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away
Cower away

Salvation
Salvation
Salvation
Salvation
Salvation

I am the constant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the constant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I am inside

I am the constant chill
That moves up and down your spine
I am the versatile one
That moved in and out of your mind
Your mind

I am the dark abyss
That haunts before your prayers
And I am the nemesis
That haunts in your nightmares
Nightmares
Nightmares

You can feel when I, I am inside
And you know that
I control you
I enslave you
I destroy you
And leave you comatose

I am the God you love
That moves in and out of your veins
I am the addiction
That buries you in shame
Shame
In shame

You can feel when I, I am inside
And you know that
I control you
I enslave you
I destroy you
And leave you comatose

I’ve wrapped these chains so tight, you can’t break through
I’ve wrapped these chains so tight, you can’t break through

The smell of fear is so enticing
It’s so inviting
There is nothing more that I love (That I love)
Than to tear you apart
Tear you apart

I, I am inside and you know that
I control you
I enslave you
I destroy you
And leave you comatose

I’ve wrapped these chains so tight, you can’t break through
I’ve wrapped these chains so tight, you can’t break through
I am the constant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the constant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction

I leave you comatose
Leave you comatose

Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
You said you loved him, then you put him away
"Till death do us part" means nothing to you

Greed has caused you to betray your family
Greed has caused you to become so jaded
We've got some news for you, every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillows in hell

You act like we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead
This is the only father we've had
Oh thrown away (Thrown away)
Left for dead (Left for dead)
How could you choose money instead?
Instead

Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
We've got some news for you; every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillows in hell
Hell

You act like we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead
This is the only father we've had
Oh thrown away (Thrown away)
Left for dead (Left for dead)
How could you choose money instead?

We will never forget
We will never forget that you're the reason
This sadness has overwhelmed us
This grief is too much to bear (To bear)
How can we look you in the eyes?
How could you ruin his life?
After all the years of joy he brought us
There is no 'we' anymore (Anymore)
There is no 'us' anymore (Anymore)
You will have to live your last days in infamy
How could you do this?
How could you choose to have him
Thrown away, left for dead
This is the only father we've had
Thrown away (Thrown away)
Left for dead (Left for dead)
How could you choose money instead?
Left for dead
Left for dead
This is the only father we've had
Left for dead

Can't sleep with all this frustration, intoxication
I no longer have regret
So what If I cause hysteria, It's not my dilemma
I’m only here to inflict pain

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumour, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day
I will retaliate

A thorn in my spine for eight years
The Man who sheds no tears
I am here to expose you
All of the poison that you take
All people you violate
Your faith can't save you now

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumour, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day
I will retaliate

I am your family
With the power
To end everything
Everything you love
Love

You should be
You should be paranoid

I guess I no longer share this vision
I guess I have a new agenda
While you sink down into your hole
I am proud watching you lose control

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumour, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away (I am your family)
Like a tumour; rage grows inside me (I am your family)
Reminding me every day
I will retaliate

I am your family
With the power
To end everything
Everything you want
Everything you feel
Everything you need
Everything you love
You love
You love
You love

Your true definition of me
Your idea that I’m real
All of this is an illusion
Even though you can feel

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realise

I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A bloodlust
A bloodlust
A bloodlust, it's all I trust (It’s all I trust)

No more boundaries to cross
There is nothing uncommon
Indifferent to the pain I've caused
This confession means nothing

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realise

I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity (Animosity)
Give me strength and define me
A bloodlust
A bloodlust
A bloodlust, it's all I trust (It’s all I trust)

This demon cannot be hushed
These cowards will all be crushed
No longer will I hide from them
My ways are set in stone (Set in stone)
Nobody has ever known me
A life truly spent alone
Alone
Alone

Your true definition of me
Your idea that I’m real
All of this is an illusion
Even though you can feel

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realise

I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity (Animosity)
Give me strength and define me
Define me
A bloodlust
A bloodlust
A bloodlust
A bloodlust
A bloodlust
A bloodlust
A bloodlust, it's all I trust (It’s all I trust)

Everything was perfect before I found my dream
You were the world to me
When I used to hate myself for trying
Now relying on you for direction seems so trite
Your attitude was quick to change when you thought
One minute might go by without being sought
Who do you think you are? Manipulator
How did it get this far? (This far)

I will make you pay
Pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray, pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you

I'll stop at nothing, don't doubt me
You've reined enough
The lies you've been telling me, you've been caught
Your enemy is reality
Your fatal flaw, meeting me

I will make you pay
Pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray, pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you
While I strangle you
Pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you

Pray for all the lives you've ruined
Pray for all the lives you've ruined
Pray for all the lives you've ruined
Pray for all the lives you've ruined

Everyone you have betrayed will watch you burn
Everyone you have deceived will watch you burn (Burn)
Everyone will watch you burn
Everyone will watch you burn

I will make you pay
Pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray, pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you
Pay, pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray, pray you're able to breathe while I strangle you

Lazarus
Lazarus
Lazarus

Eleven Five Ninety Four, Six Thirty morning
Woke up panicked, sweating, with a mouth full of vomit
No idea what could be wrong
Blew it off as this illness is common
Went back to sleep, then the phone rings
Fell to the ground
As the news was haunting
Haunting
Haunting
Haunting
Haunting

Lazarus, Lazarus ended his life, ungodly sacrifice
Lazarus, Lazarus, no reason why

Eleven Eight Ninety Four Six thirty evening
The first time we're seeing Lazarus unconscious
Dressed in the clothes he loved
Laid out with all of his favourites
The tears of so many friends
Look around, and this view was haunting
Haunting
Haunting
Haunting
Haunting

Lazarus, Lazarus ended his life, ungodly sacrifice
Lazarus, Lazarus, no reason why

Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to thank him
Never had a chance to watch Lazarus rise
Never had a chance to thank him
Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to say goodbye

Lazarus, Lazarus ended his life, ungodly sacrifice
Lazarus, Lazarus, no reason why
Never had a chance to say goodbye
Lazarus, never had a chance
Lazarus, never had a chance
To say goodbye
