Wraith 02:59
Bury your fangs deep inside my skin Biting on fibers, I feel it crawling within My bloodshot eyes, my righteous grin You knew from the start that I’m a loose cannon I don’t think you quite understand My life is slipping out of my hand Decompose from the inside out The ultimate surrender to a dying sound You’re the reason I keep giving in Infested, I am made for the vices that I’m sick of dealing with You make it seem like its something I believe draining my reality You make it seem like its something I believe feasting on anxiety Monologue of misery Borderline insanity I’m given up by every goddamn soul Talk it down, placing bets on who will win This broken kin weighs like sin You make it seem like it’s on me You make it seem like its something i believe Feasting on anxiety Bury your fangs deep inside my skin My scars paint a picture of the hell I’m living in

Different minds in the same frame The rules are set and put on a scale A dream of blood with a face so pale Oh once I realized I’m in control, I’ve been taking my chances cause it’s all my fault Playing the cards I was dealt as I’m running with broken bones We‘re only prone to the dogma, when we are coming from a bad place No helping hand, no sight of saving grace I know it seems too little too late Dug in too deep into my weakness From being struck by bad luck and despair To suffering the same fate Different minds in the same frame Different crime but the same name The walls are closing in The ceiling is coming down Paranoid in my own skin There is only one way out Gradual isolation Intellectual intoxication Follow through without a thing to complain (Carve my lane) I’m better off with the bitterness (Carve my lane) Became a host with no dignity left (Carve my lane) Consume the life from my open vein Collateral So cynical Seducing Abusing Collateral Non clinical Not listening Distressing Until you die you will propagate your fucking waste

Distort 02:44
desolate to the bone crossing lines with every thought that I own don’t leave me alone i’ll be drawing my blood cause i am dying too slow obsession with a sacred power possession, born into me; a whole world to devour put me out punishing honesty perishing put me out of my misery shed my will to abide by morality who have i become? bathed in sin - I don’t think that I deserve anything bathed in sin - I don’t think that I’m alone in my skin desolate to the bone, crossing lines with every thought that I own don’t leave me alone, i’ll be drawing my blood cause i am dying too slow i am the catalyst, a decisionist i understand that there is only one way out of this, don’t leave me out of this i need a therapist, not just another fucking devil drilling holes into my head bathed in sin bathed in sin

Magma Hour 02:59
we lost it all i’m at the edge of my seat relief before I forsake i’ll put the words in your mouth i’ll make it easy for you it’s a confession of your deeds i know you feel it seen it in the way you move i fucking feel it again, surfacing but never coming through tormenting you there is no way home from the devil’s womb poisoned blessing in disguise, a little less than I confide singing feel-good lullabies, the proper dose makes it alright one final step into the gates of hell money can’t buy us free, ‘cause we’re the captive prey one final step into the gates of hell money can’t help us now we sold ourselves to the luxury there’s no recovery obliterate, all burdens erased i’ve seen it coming, just a little too late ecstasy at the price of our existence we’re just a tumor so delicate that one is listening feeding fire with more gasoline agony, anxiety begin to see behind the devil’s scheme the time has come to make deniers believe one final step into the gates of hell money can’t buy us free, ‘cause we’re the captive prey one final step into the gates of hell money can’t help us now there’s no recovery

here I am at the end of my rotten fate
 i am a victim to the habits that I cultivate no smoke without a fire
 no blood without a wound
 no forgiveness for the sinner
 who has seen the face of gloom i’ll never learn from my mistakes misery favors the lonely
 victim to the habits that I cultivate
 misery favors the lonely [Marcus Lundqvist] all means have reached an end another loss in the books and it feels like i am running out of options this fucking world’s only a fictional invention loaded up with toxins the only reason for me to breathe the only reason I make believe no smoke no fire
 no blood without a wound
 no forgiveness for the sinner
 who has seen the face of gloom i don’t believe in redemption
 i don’t think I will ever heal
 don’t believe in salvation
 never again will I be able to feel doubting my every decision fueling my inner division
 i am killing off all of my feelings kill my feelings take, when the stakes are high break, running out of time again take, when the stakes are high break, just another life down the drain the irony, my liabilities ricochet back. I have to face it; I never wanted to repent i don’t believe in redemption
 i don’t think I will ever heal
 i don’t believe in salvation
 never again will I be able to feel doubting my every decision
 fueling my inner division 
I am killing off all of my feelings 
kill my feelings take, when the stakes are high break, running out of time again take, when the stakes are high break, just another life down the drain

Proxy 02:46
i was under the impression we were playing on the same team cut clean, in a room with my enemy this is where you needed me to plant your fucking seed in me dug deep with spiteful intent every day is wasted, delaying my end control the feed into my bloodstream every single vein crying out for release i know i’ve seen this all before the same place, the same face i’ve been living in these walls a different life but the same name what are the chances? feeling so defenseless i’ve been ignoring every warning sign red flag reverie, betting too high cemented me into this fever dream altering my purity prevailed by a lingering panic burned into the inside of my head defiled into the static not too long until I forget a memory sifted, reality shifted sway me away, you taught me how to betray so fucking sway me away i’ve been ignoring every warning sign red flag reverie, betting too high cemented me into this fever dream altering my purity

Outbreak 02:42
retain the image with a concrete mask I better watch my mouth when they come and ask yeah it’s time again for me to pass running around with a bounty on my head it’s getting harder to escape i don’t think anyone relates time again to understand that i am cutting off deadweight everybody lies crowned a witness, scraped my eyes wash away the bitter taste of scapegoat innocence find a way to fucking cope with it a pattern in the snow, and i‘m alone with it finally finding truth in every gear of this machinery blame, take it away blaaaaame, paralyzing the weight that i can feel, their eyes on me heavy bones repel the flesh; the price of being free pay up everybody lies crowned a witness, scraped my eyes wash away the bitter taste of scapegoat innocence lingering in my fate I will never break treacherous, what are you hiding from the rest of us? i will never lay down arms i will never scorn my fate everybody lies

Blacklight 03:39
o.l.d. - you’ll get the best of me o.l.d. - a light of clarity o.l.d. - you’ll get the best of me o.l.d. - i’ve never known trust i‘ve been losing my lust i’m at a point where I listen to my gut i‘m your delusional lover holding myself undercover i’ll be the memory you can’t recover how does it feel to be God's favorite? how does it feel to get away with it? i’m sure you think of me when I think of you i'm sure you've looked me up, on the internet no answer that you tried to get i'm sure you've already followed me home too you’ve seen me as the silhouette you can’t forget but I know you only want the fucking best of me; my time, my spine I abide by the signs so subtle in the dialect deaf to what you say but i can read it from your eyes i had enough of the voices telling me it's wrong I had enough, i fled the obsession by giving in i’m tired of listening, why should I give a fuck? a look into your eyes is all it takes and i am running out of luck your secret, it‘s between the lines you might be in the spotlight but it‘s really all about us when your gaze passed me by all I could feel was disgust o.l.d. - you’ll get the best of me o.l.d. - a light of clarity o.l.d. - you’ll get the best of me o.l.d. - i won’t treat i had enough of the voices telling me it's wrong I had enough, i fled the obsession by giving in

you’re wittingly pushing me over the edge to the extreme point of no return, into vertigo to those who care I am only a death hoax it’s a matter of time until you take your chance and reap my life mortal reminder; you feast on debris the only remain is a splinter of me you fucking scavenger how does it taste to live this life? my grudge became aversion i’ll leave you rotting away a fucking pipe dream this is torture mistake - the fault on your skin mistake - there’s not a single fucking hint mistake - no missing file, no case, no way to prove that you are just a disguise counterfeit eyes catching you twitch away take out the fake, i’m returning to stay don’t black out i’ll leave you rotting away in the blood rot away you’re looking for the mistake - the fault on my skin mistake - there’s not a single fucking hint mistake - no missing file, no case, no way to prove that i am wearing your face

Half Me 04:28
is there something more? is there something more beyond what I can see? stay with me through this, stay with me a terror that lives and breathes, a whisper behind my teeth those who mean the most have turned their back on me but this time I‘m not taking the blame a devil on a chain bearing control over me reality is slipping away why don’t you feel the same? haunting, sew my eyes and stitch them shut drowning, there’s no hand to pull me up you are the gift that keeps on giving i am the burden that keeps on living a ghost condemned to give in i feel a part of me is missing i can’t relate anymore, suffering behind closed doors everything revolves around the fact i’m not the person that i used to be giving it up to let the silent speak; this is another half of me pulling my strings, awake in my sleep is this all a dream? the terror that lives and breathes the whisper behind my teeth let me sleep, let me sleep the sour taste of you still lays underneath my tongue spoils a pure, perfect taste of what it used to be you are the gift that keeps on giving i am the burden that keeps on living a ghost condemned to give in i feel a part of me is missing is there something more? is there something more beyond what I can see? stay with me through this, stay with me
