Follow the rabbit down the hole again
Grasp the meaning that "time is fleeting"
It's all one big mind fuck
Reality is an illusion
Digitized over stimulation
Force fed intergrations
Where will you be
When you finally run out of time
Will you be
When you finally run out of time
Will you be
When you finally run out of time
Will you be
When you finally run out of time
How deep do I need to dig
Before the signals start to fade?
How high do I need to fly
Before gravity loses hold of me?
Will the veil ever be pulled away?
Does existence really have a meaning?
How can I guage the value of our mortality
If everything isn't what it all seems to be
I'm struggling with morbid fantasies
Constantly questioning everything
Has this room gone quiet or did everyone get up and leave?
Maybe cynicism is shunned when spoken publicly
I'm over all of this uncertainty
Why am I even here in the first place?
Do you dream of electric sheep?
Not too often cause I don't really sleep
(Everybody knows that the dead don't dream)
Everybody knows that the dead don't dream!

Let's go back to a time
Where we were innocent and so naive
That we never anticipated
That we would succumb to these beliefs
Tell me now do you feel relieved
That you have become free of me
Do you see things more clearly
Now that I am your enemy?
Take a step back and clarify
You're only breathing cause I say
Do I take control
And let you cease to be?
Take a step back, take a step back bitch
I don't even remember what it's like to feel
Any sort of passion or compassion in a world so fucking plastic
Sit me down
And let me know
That this is all
Just one fucked up
Mess that I can't control
I need someone to release me from this hell
I need someone to pull the trigger on me now
I would if I could but I can't so I don't
A lifetime spent wondering why I ever tried
So yea I'm miserable
With no fucks to give
One foot in the grave and another on your fuckin face
Here we are in the present time
Now bitter and so dead inside
That we never expect
To feel anything again
If you're seeing me, you're having the worst goddamned day of your life...
If you're seeing me, your having the worst day of your life, of your life!

"I'm Sorry, Rum-Ham!"

This silence
Has become overwhelming
The buzz of the static
Serving as a conductor
To the deepest parts of my subconscious
Testing, possessing, infecting me
Don't push me, I've got you dead in my sights
Don't test me, I may just have to end your life
You decieve
Like a coward you only retreat
Run away
And never speak my name again
You're just a stain
One disgusting memory
Just stay away
So you see
Passion is what fuels my desire
To make your life
A living fucking hell
To watch you burn
To hear you scream
While I stoke the fire
Licking your skin
Burn witch burn
Go back to where you came
You keep on casting your spells
I'll keep on fighting you off
You want me down on my knees
But you're forgetting one thing
I'm not so easily beat
So you're wasting your time
You're no friend of mine
No friend
No fucking friend
No friend of mine!
Remember all those things I said?
No? Cause they never meant a thing
I'm still losing my head
Conversing with the dead
I'm hearing what you say
But those words are empty
I'm tired of the games
I'm always losing in the end
I'm always losing

I know just how you taste
A sour sting on my lips
Sinking your teeth into my skin
I will not lose myself again!
Maybe this once, I could have you
Begging and pleading for me to stay
Just as I have always invisioned in my demented fantasies
Make no mistake
I'm just the bastard you've managed to create
A bitter reminder of all your misguided days
Cause you know I've never had
What I've craved all this time
A reason to believe
In someone other than me
When our worlds collide
And we're forced to rationalize
Can we stop and free our minds
Take a moment to visualize
Falling back into that dream
Where we used to run and hide
Never stopping to realize
What animals we can be!
Look at us now
Barely alive
And never wondering why
I'll except nothing less than what is rightfully mine
I've got the patience and I've got the fucking time
I don't need to go back and replay all those days
They are cold and empty just like your face
When our worlds collide
And we're forced to rationalize
Can we stop and free our minds
Take a moment to visualize
Falling back into that dream
Where we used to run and hide
Never stopping to realize
What animals we can be!
Do I need to scream these words so you hear me?
What is the point if I don't cut in deep enough?
Why do you make me have to go to that dark place?
Let me say now that I'm so fucking over it!
So fucking over it!
I'm so over it.

These are but desperate times
Monsters and devils have come crawling back to life, with teeth and claws
Run quick
Don't look back
Don't look back now
Run quick
They are coming right behind us
The end is here so go for cover
The dead are back seeking new flesh
Board the windows, nail the doors
They're coming in waves, take defenses
Don't lose focus, keep composure
Grab your gun kid, light the fuses
Tonight! We fight to survive!
Tonight! We fight to stay alive!
Oh shit they've broken through
Another swarm has managed to destroy all our ramparts
Now this haven is but a slaughterhouse for the living and the dead, an all out war
There was blood and guts, the bodies torn apart at the seams
The screams and shots, the smell of smoke and copper
I can't see any other way out
So grab the gas and chain the doors
I doused us all
Lit the match
And watched it all fucking burn

Help!
My demons have finally found me
They're right outside my door
Banging, scratching, screaming
Looking to settle the score
Maybe I'm destined for madness
A lifetime bathed in black
Rotting, twisting corpses
Smiling as I snap
I can't decide which is worse
A social setting or a trip in a hearse
I'm getting kind of utterly desperate
Losing myself in this decadence
Help me understand why this hurts so bad
Help me gain some strength or confidence
I'm growing ever so low and desolate
I'm losing hope and becoming too hesitant
You failed me!
(A moment late a second too soon!)
You failed me!
(I only did just what you told me!)
You failed me!
(A moment late a second too soon!)
You failed me!
(I only did just what you told me!)
Now
Don't get so dramatic
Your failure is what I expect
I am your salvation
A voice in the back of your head
How do you justify yourself?
How many miles have you stumbled?
Heaven seems so far away when you've lived in hell
Paradise is worthless when it's all you sell
Don't say I never warned you
The signs were right in your face
A momentary relapse
Has brought you to your knees
And now that the bodies are piling
You're slowly losing control
The blood is on your hands
And you're all alone
Now that you have made yourself a monster to the ones you love
Does it make you dead inside to know that you have jeprodized every single thing I've tried
And now you have these glaring eyes, a thousand milligrams of suicide just waiting to be tried
I've failed you today
Yes you, you failed me today
If I could take this chance would you forget the past and let me rest?
Or should I let the dirt consume and seal my bones within this tomb?
Would you follow me back down
Into the earth where I belong?
And while we're resting underground
We can be joined as one
and our hearts can be bound

(Too many years spent half asleep
Too numb to dream
Too dead to wake up
Melancholy, my oldest friend
I see you've come back once again)
Dear misery
What the hell do you love about me,
That makes you latch on so tightly?
Is it the way my bones begin to shake
When you come in for another embrace
Or am I just that sweet to the taste?
I can't breathe with your weight on my chest
Parasite imbedded in my mind,
Feasting on the failures of my life!
I stare into the abyss and it stares right back at me
Beckoning ever so with its sultry siren songs
Lulling me into a quiet state of complacency
Just so it can take control
Really settle in my skin
Deconstruct my fragile shell
While leaving nothing but despair!
I've become the perfect host
Gave myself into the void
Self destructed my desire
Abandoned all of my hope!
Parasite imbedded in my mind,
Feasting on the failures of my life!
I stare into the abyss and it stares right back at me
Beckoning ever so with its sultry siren songs
Lulling me into a quite state of complacency
I stare into the abyss and it stares right back at me!
It stares back! x4
Then it moves in so close, just to say
"You are mine
I'll be there till you die!"
Maybe one day you'll find me
Drifting in between worlds
Unaware and calloused
Just a dead man walking
I've found solace in this hell
Gave the devil his due
Ripped my fucking chest open
Just to make room for you!
I don't care what you say, nothing matters anyway
I stare into the abyss and it stares right back at me
Becoming ever so with its sultry siren songs
Lulling me into a quiet state of complacency

I've come to terms with
The fact that I'll never
Thrill or impress you
With anything I do
So take this passage
And read between the lines
There's not enough passion
To keep this drama alive
It's always the same ol' shit
And I'm tired
I need a new start
A new breath of life
To revive the remnants
Of what I once was
They say it's easy
But the process is killer
It's easy to say, but the process is killer
I would risk it all
To seeing you crawling
I'd give you the world
Just to take it away from you
I'd give you the world
Just so I could take it away from you
You see the world through rose colored lens
While I see it in the darkest shades of grey
You want to play the optimist
But I see the glass half empty
I'd give you the world
I'd give you the world
I'd give you the world
Just so I could take it all away from you
I've come to terms with
The fact that I'll never
Thrill or impress you
With anything I do
So take this passage
And read between the lines
There's not enough passion
To keep this drama alive
It's always the same ol' shit
And I'm tired
I need a new start
A new breath of life
To revive the remnants
Of what I once was
It's easy to say
But the process is killer
It's easy to say, but the process is killer
