lyrics

Restless soul, subdued again
Havoc wreaks within your veins

Motion sickness like a wave
Your heart beats out of time I pray
For the day you seek to turn away
From the evil you chose to embrace
And now we know this plague
To forfeit your own soul
Insane
There’s nothing left that I can say
Make your peace at the devil's gates

The depth of the guilt in me
Is taking over
Reap what you need from the burning sea for relief
And drown in the apathy
That made you impede everything you could’ve been
It’s taken over
Blind to the white to the shadows inside
You won’t survive

Illusions tell your stories cold
Regret fills your broken soul

Like a cycle repeating over and over again
Forced to tie these loose ends, soon to face the bitter end
Absent minded, repeat the same cycle repeat the same cycle
Repeat, you are the enemy

The depth of the guilt in me
Is taking over
Reap what you need from the burning sea for relief
And drown in the apathy
That made you impede everything you could’ve been
It’s taken over
Blind to the white to the shadow inside
You won’t survive

It’s taking over
This path of destruction is leading you nowhere
Paralytic
Do you hate what you see?
Do you live just to breathe?
You coward

The depth of the guilt in me
Has taken over
Can’t take what you need and leave it be
Cause nothing will put your mind at ease
The waves, don’t cease
Tempted by obscurity
The time has come for me
And may your soul rest In peace
