And now it's always cold
The seasons never change
After everything we've seen
A silent voice rings out of my head
To tell me nothing's left
Is there a way out of this torment?
It's more than I can bare
It's not what you did to me
It's the way we were living
Empty
Echoes from walls that once would shelter me
Imprison me
Softly
Wisper the words that you once said to me
Eternally
Empty
Intrusive thoughts are all that's left in me
They're haunting me
Gently
Caress the void that lives inside of me
An endless sea
If the love that we had will disintegrate
And the world will continue on
As our memories fade to dust
Will you still think of me with disgust?
I could never make up for the pain I cause
It's a line that I've crossed too far
I can't see my way back from here
I'm an island and you're past the shore
Empty
Echoes from walls that once would shelter me
Imprison me
Softly
Wisper the words that you once said to me
Eternally
Empty
Intrusive thoughts are all that's left in me
They're haunting me
Gently
Caress the void that lives inside of me
An endless sea
Empty
Echoes from walls that once would shelter me
Imprison me
Softly
Wisper the words that you once said to me
Eternally
Empty
Intrusive thoughts are all that's left in me
They're haunting me
Gently
Caress the void that lives inside of me
An endless sea

“If you'd like…
If you’d like, shall I take you?
To the place in town where wishes come true?
This is a world that’s come to an end.
An empty and still world where no one exists but I.
There's a small table and chair in this room but outside the window there is nothing but an empty plain stretching into an endless horizon.
This building is old.
I don’t know how long ago it was built.
I live here alone.
Passing time in solitude.
Sometimes I venture outside,
Picking up little odds and ends that I might need.
Of course there is no one outside either.
But under the fading sun, a sea of tiny lights are fluttering about.
Amidst those lights, I picked up wood scraps, nails, and many other things.
My purpose was to create a friend.
But now, even as I construct him, I wonder if anyone would be happy to be born into a world like this.
At every turn, those feelings of doubt still haunt me.”
I implore you
Adore you
If you’d like I can take you
To the place where our wishes all come true
I’m right here with you
(x7 Repeat)
I implore you
Adore you
If you’d like I can take you
To the place where our wish comes true
“If I had known this was going to happen I wouldn’t have taken her with me.
In the end, all I did was make her suffer.
I don’t want this to be the end of our journey.
I don’t want to stop now.
Even if there is no hope for us, I don’t want to accept that.
I don’t want to let her fall asleep in a cold, lonely place like this.”
“You’re still there aren't you?”
“Of course I am.
I’ll stay by your side forever.”
“Thank you.
I can hear your voice after all this time.”
“Really?”
“I feel my humanity slipping away.
I think that’s why I can finally hear you.
I had a dream just now.
I found out a lot of things.
Things about you.
Things about me.
Want me to tell you?”
“Mhm.”
“You were from the same world, you and I.
We were very close to each other long ago.
No…
Actually, we’re still close.
Even now.”
“Wait!
Then that means we don’t belong in this world after all!
Let’s go back together!”
“Sorry.
That sounds wonderful but I have to stay here.”
“Why?”
“Because I’m not just another part of this world.
I’m the world Itself.”
“I don’t understand…
You said we’d leave this world together didn't you?
You promised!”
“If I leave this place then the entire world will disappear.
If that happens, all the lights will turn from hope to sorrow.
Each one of them represents the hope of someone in the other world.”
Keep me by your side
Oh darling won't you
Keep me by your side?
Hold on
I'm here so
Won't you keep me by your side?
I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
So please love
Won’t you keep me by your side?
Oh darling won't you
Keep me by your side?
Hold on
I'm here so won't you keep me by your side?
I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
I implore you
Adore you
If you’d like I can take you
To the place where our wishes all come true
I’m right here with you
(x3 Repeat)
I implore you
Adore you
If you’d like I can take you
To the place where our wishes all come
To find you
Keep me by your side
Oh darling won't you
Keep me by your side?
Hold on
I'm here so
Won't you keep me by your side?
I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
So please love
Won’t you keep me by your side?
Oh darling won't you
Keep me by your side?
Hold on
I'm here so won't you keep me by your side?
I feel like I've been waiting my whole life
To find you
If I had another day
Just to spend our time away
Would you let me show you?
Take my hand and we'll find our way
To the place where everything was irreplaceable
When our love was all insatiable
I can't waste another day
So darling won't you let me stay?
Time eternal
Immemorial
Illusionary
In my reverie
The tides roar back to me
“I’m here with you”
My world’s empty without you

Anxiety
All the days are flowing through me
Nothing will be the same
No one's coming to save us
Tormented dreams
Sweating cold all throughout the night
Without a hope
I silently die
My memories traumatized
Sacrificed paralyzed
When everyone's let you down
There's nowhere to turn
Their hideous rotting souls
Will poison the worms
Is there's nothing left
In their hearts left for us to save them
Gullible stubborn fools
Will only feed off their own lies
Why shouldn't I
Despise those who'd revoke our rights?
Their apathy stabs as deep as a knife
These impotent leaders will crumble without a fight
When everyone's let you down
There's nowhere to turn
Their hideous rotting souls
Will poison the worms
Exploitation
Discrimination
Manipulation
Polarization
Degradation
Demonization
Condemnation
Derealization
Dissolution
Isolation
Contamination
Disintegration
Overconsumption
Alienation
Insurrection
Rationalization
Will this ever see an end?
I just can't comprehend
This cruel world burns around me
Nothing can set me free
Others will simply just pretend
That authority is their friend
Praying for your own safety
A fool is all I see
Is this all that life has to offer us?
Will this ever see an end?
Do I have the strength to defend?
This won’t be our destiny
If we have solidarity
When everyone’s let you down
Continue to search
And reach for your inner self
To proclaim your worth

I don't understand...
I don't understand what reality is.
You can't bridge the gap between your own truth and the reality of others.
I don't know where to find happiness.
So you only find happiness in your dreams.
Then... this is not reality?
No.
It is only a dream.
This convenient fabrication is your attempt to change reality.
Is that wrong?
You were using fantasy to escape reality.
Then why can't I dream that I'm alone?
That is not a dream.
That is a substitute for reality.
This world is overflowing with sorrow.
I hate you.
It's people are drowning in emptiness.
I can't stand the sight of you.
And loneliness fills their hearts.
How disgusting...

Sunrise
Behind the darkest eclipse
Move through me
Chill the lost demons of my soul
It's bitterness is closing in
I call upon the vast eternal bleak sky
My innocence is smothered
Bring me silver lined fog of death
Wind
Carry my body through the last shame
I beseech you for I crave solitude tonight
Moonlight
Grant me the power to lose free will
It only enhances my decent
Unto hell fire
In my eyes
Frozen in loss and shame
I see my past flash in a glance
In my eyes
Frozen in loss and shame
I see my past flash in a glance

So…
Is this really the end?
It seemed so far away
But I must have gone astray
My words are worthless
All this fear
As it's closing in
So much doubt
Will we see this through?
Silent night
I've lost my sight
No morning will rise again
In a memory condemned
My words are worthless
All this fear
As it's closing in
So much doubt
Will we see this through?
I am facing my sorrows
And I stare back
Through my eyes
Senses failing
Will you be there for me love?
Now that you've seen what I am
I'm sure it is far too much for one soul to bare
Am I really worth your care?
Facing my sorrows
And I stare back
Through my eyes
Senses failing
Will you be there for me?
I won't waste another day
Time so quickly slips away
Until the last moments
I am facing my sorrows
And I stare back
Through my eyes
Senses failing
Will you be there for me love?

"I hate...
I hate...
I hate everything.
And I hate myself the most
I don't care about anything anymore
There's no point."
"You posses a false body and a fake soul.
Do you know why?"
"I am neither false nor fake.
I am simply me."
"No...
You are an empty shell with a false soul.
You are just an object that is pretending to be a human.
Look deep within yourself.
Do you perceive the almost intangible and invisible presence that lurks below your waking self?
Inside your darkest dreams?
It is there that your true identity lies..."
"No, I am me.
I became myself by the instrumentality of the links and relationships between myself and others.
I am formed by interaction with others.
They create me as I create them.
These relationships and interactions will serve to shape the patterns of my heart and mind."
"But there is someone else who is your true self.
This is what you fear."
Lying in a dark corner
The last candle light is dying out
Trying to refuse this suffering
As darkness burns my frail naked soul
I faced my fears a thousand times
Endless doubts; life of paranoia
I try to find a way out
From this state of suicidal urge
I read with empty eyes the page
As tears begin to fall down my face
Another night alone with myself
At one with melancholy and depression
I fled because the dark is near
I cry as I realize you can’t be here
I needed to caress your skin in the night
But now my only friend has left my life
Why must I live with these fears?
I know my only tragedy is my mind
Sometimes I think I’m wasting all the joys
And with this bitter thought I fear to die
I feel so jaded now, so far away
I can’t face the next morning with this pain
Another thought lacerates my mind
This time pray it will be the last
I’m only trying to objectivate this hate
To prove towards myself and life itself
My words are nothing more than open wounds
I cry to nobody in the night
I only need to stop these sick death thoughts
And cry for joy when you’ll be here again (These dreams seem impossible)
I’ll watch you sleeping naked at my side
I’ll kiss you and these thoughts will stop to flow
"Don't do anything.
Don't come near me.
All you ever do is hurt me."
Anyone can abandon you one day
Life brings pain and suffering on our way
Cut all ties, it’s simpler than it seems
But in death you’ll know...
Disheartenment always wins
"I am happy.
Because I want to die.
I want despair.
I want to return to nothing.
But when everything is over
And I am of no use anymore
He will abandon me."

-lyrics by CircusP-
Bring on the chill rain
And we'll go back in time
Everything's the same
We've fallen into place
Why does this keep happening?
Crashing down with the lightning
Smash my heart into pieces and sing
These moments fall apart
We've walked this path before
You've said your lines, now it's
Time to play my role once more
And we'll restart
The cycle again
And we'll restart breaking each other again
We're trapped in here, we're trapped in here for good
I'm lost in here, I'm lost in here with you
Together through and through
Bring on the excuses
Tell me that I deserve this
Don't let me open my mouth
Don't stop the rain from pouring down
So, why does this keep on happening?
We're crashing down with the lightning
You smash my heart into pieces and then sing
These moments are your fault
I'm losing a rigged battle
And you restart
The cycle
And you restart breaking me
Again
We're trapped in here, we're trapped in here for good
I'm lost in here, I'm lost in here with you
Together through and through
These moments fall apart
We've walked this path before
You've said your lines, now it's
Time to play my role once more
And we'll restart
The cycle again
And we'll restart breaking each other
We're trapped in here, we're trapped in here for good
I'm lost in here, I'm lost in here with you
Together through and through
