Paint me black and call a shadow from now on
I'm just an empty shell of man
Without a place to call my own
I dare you to come and break me down
While I am crawling on my knees
I have nothing left to lose
Just end this suffering please
And there is nothing to die for at all
And there is nothing to die for at all
Money and fame all is wasted away
Nothing to gain
Rotting in vain
Take me for granted and abuse as you can
Push me to the limit and watch me go insane
And there is nothing to die for
The only reason why I still live
And there is nothing to die for at all
And for those who'd love to raise a glass for me
I'm sorry, I am done, there's nothing left to see
And for those who whispers "love you"
I'm sorry baby not tonight
We'll celebrate another time
We'll celebrate another time
I've spent ages climbing up the stairs and trying to reach stars
I've failed so bad it cannot be explained
I have no will to just get up
With tattoo covered body only left to be the memory of my old ways
Day in day out the mirror shows me that only agony remains
Agony remains
Fucking agony remains
So put me down like a dog
Let the bullet leave the glock
Boom
And there is nothing to die for at all
And there is nothing to die for at all
And for those who'd love to raise a glass for me
I'm sorry, I am done, there's nothing left to see
And for those who whispers "love you"
I'm sorry baby not tonight
We'll celebrate another time
We'll celebrate another time
We'll celebrate another time
We'll celebrate another time

Yeah
This stinky hole
And as my skin begins to itch
I hide beneath the dirty sheets and slip away from everything
To find escape from everyone
To get rid of everyone
With basic instinct to survive I may easily lose my mind
As I begin to drift
Drift into nothingness
Nothingness
Slowly I fill the void
That consumed my thoughts and corroded my hopes
And as it starts to dissolve
Once again I stand on my own
I feel finally whole anew
You can bet on it
You won't see me on my knees
My legs used to tremble
But now I'm kicking ass and breaking chins
Regrets are made
But there's no point in looking back
We're all used to be weak
But time has come to bury my past
Down another minute
Stronger another day
Rise again bolder to see them run away
Pushing through the crowd to find my own way
Who gives a damn what they have to say
Time heals
Time heals everything
Now let's forget everything we've known
The universe is changing and so does everything it holds
Living this life like I've been deaf and mute
I'm getting rid of this shameful solitude
Stand up
Time heals all wounds
Time heals all wounds
Down another minute
Stronger another day
Rise again bolder to see them run away
I'm pushing through the crowd
You mind your own way
I'll be just fine despite you naysaying
I'll be just fine despite you naysaying
I'll be just fine in spite of you

The Nihilism
03:39

Pathetic are your claims
Just learn to know your place
No aces up your sleeve
But I've got something to admit
We've all been quite adamant on trying to forgive ourselves
So listen up
Eyes glaring red like raging bulls held at bay
Yet ready to attack
Coming at you no surrender
It's live or die I guess
But I would rather be crucified
Than fall for nothing
Yet I will fall just like everybody else
It doesn't matter how hard you try
If you don't have wings you cannot fly
Maybe somebody else
Maybe in different life
Maybe one day we will
Maybe another time
We're living in denial
We cannot change our fate
We're living in denial
There is no escape
Right
The sun goes down it doesn't matter anyway
The night is perfect to go hunting for another prey
We've all mistaken the dilusion for providence
How could we've chosen an illusion instead of common sense
You shifted destiny
You found your own way
How can this be
I was wrong you say
Preaching the wrong truth
Misleading masses
You shifted destiny
How can this be
You found your own way
I was wrong you say
Please don't put your blame on me
I was shrouded in obscurity
Please don't put your blame on me
I was shrouded in this obscurity
We're living in denial
Yes we can change our fate
We're living in denial
I have found escape
We're living in denial
Yes, yes we can
We're living in denial

Fresh Remains

This gloom inside is gnawing at my bones
I abandoned my soul and I am lost
Like victim in the hands of the rooks
Devastating anxiety got me on its hooks
Devoured after I've been gulped down
Digested and spat out
The weight of the world crashes me
If this is what life is
Than to hell with this
Part of this emptiness
I am this hollow
The nihilistic waste in the land of sorrow
And I will never back down
And I will never back the fuck down
Somebody please explain to me
Is this delusion
My eyes are stained with some kind of illusion
I ceased to see the fire in your eyes
They used to shine like flame but now the ember died
Part of this emptiness
Call me the hollow
The nihilistic waste in the land of sorrow
I feel the devil eating me from the inside
And everything I've ever done crashing down
Hear me
Hear me
I'll never back down from fighting for you
I will never back down
I will never back the fuck down
The rest assured I will never back down from this
And when the pleasure becomes pain
Desires burn in their misery
And as the pleasure becomes pain
Desires burn in their misery
I feel the devil eating me from the iside
And everything I've ever done crashing down
Hear me I promise to you
I'll never back down from fighting for you
I'll never back down from fighting for you

Animosity
03:07

And the next morning I'll wake up again
Yeah better than ever
For me it's now or never
Because I wither away
Yes
Because when I fall asleep
The nightmares overwhelm me
And with each passing day
I'm beckoning for saving grace
I'm not claustrophobic but the walls look at me
Vision blurry and eyes bleeding
So I barely can see
Those parasites are crawling in my skin
Better keep them in
Rather than watch them clean the meat off my bones
And once there's nothing left
What a wonderful theft
With a carcass squicky clean and free of human sin
I may even like this
I may even like this
With dreams like mine
Most people'd rather die
But I'm not giving up just yet
I'll do my best to fight until the very end
And to the darkness that consumes
This is a huge fuck you
And the next morning I'll wake up again
Yeah better than ever
For me it's now or never
Because I wither away
And the next morning I'll wake up again
Yeah better than ever
For me it's now or never
Because I wither away
I dare this evil to come and take me one on one
Let's settle the score
I welcome hell to come and win and if it happens take me in
But I'd watch it save the pretty face when violence breaks
Nothing lasts forever
And my struggle won't
I'll beat it one day so watch the minds exlode
Until the end of the world
I'll keep on fighting until the very end

It hurt me surely too
And now I'm bleeding through
Though life doesn't flash before my eyes
But I can feel the pain piercing through the veins
Just like the venom or a parasite
I'm not asking for your attention
Or god forbid a chance at redemption
What a new sensation
I need medication
I have to make it clear
It is not temptation
I avoided the death on a killing spree
Don't tell me there's no remedy
I've been through worse
I'll make you see
Your filthy ways won't suck me in
Watch your goddamn self
Instead of watching me
Trying to pull you silly tricks off
This act is just as old as time itself
So stop pretending that you know it all
When you don't even realize your own hypocrisy
The selfishness inside your soul
Became your whole
Burning the lives of those you've touched
A walking synergy of spite
A primal evil in disguise
I wish there were a cure for you but
There's no remedy
No remedy
For as sick as you are there's no remedy
For as sick as you are it will be over soon
Soon it will be over
For the one that's sick as you are
Tomorrow never comes
For the heart decayed so far
Decayed so far
Soon it will be over
For the one that's sick as you are
Tomorrow never comes
For the heart decayed so far
Becoming cold
Rotten corpse
Burning the lives of those you've touched
A walking synergy of spite
A primal evil in disguise
I wish there were a cure for you but
There's no remedy
No remedy
Soon it will be over
For the one that's sick as you are
Tomorrow never comes
For the heart decayed so far
Decayed so far
Soon it will be over
For the one that's sick as you are
Tomorrow never comes
For the heart decayed so far
