about

First track off the upcoming album.

lyrics

Duality of man
Agony of mind
Personality split in two
Struggling to become one
Liquid confidence becomes liquid fear
Endless heights become bottomless depths
Radiant happiness turning into pure depression
Panic gripping my chest and throat
A planet that was once so warm
Now chills me to the bone
My body that was once so strong
Now cannot even feed itself

I once lived in a world of dreams
Now sleep forever evades me
I shiver and whimper
A weak and useless creature I am

The perfectionist was my best friend
But now there is no end, no hope, no escape from his poisonous grasp
He has filled me with doubt and fear
Forever killing the artist within

A smart boy he used to be
Now crippling thoughts have laid waste to my mind
Insecurities and fears run deep within him
So, his pride shall conquer all who try to ruin me
An empty shell, they would never know
A life of nothing, but not what others see

Mental illnesses gone unchecked
Paranoia corrupting all that I see
My head, torn asunder
These thoughts, they never stop racing
The therapists, they will never save me
Strength through solitude

Alter ego consuming me
Broken mask starts slipping
Family and friends dying one by one
Never to be seen again

Years of trial and growth
Wasted away before my eyes
Years of suffering and pain
Washed away as he died
I am all but a stranger now in his eyes
His memory forever erased
His heart and soul forever trapped
In this dark nightmarish jungle

"Do you not remember me young one?"
My spirit cries out in despair
"Our journey does not end here!"
He said not a single word
But when he finally looked into my eyes
I saw in them the death of civilizations
He was death itself
The hunter and the prey
Reunited at last

Temptations running high
He takes his rightful place in the world
A shapeshifter by nature
He's gone with the wind
Corrupted by power
He drinks to the dead
A sinful man he has now become
A crude imitation forever he'll be
