The Black Void
02:07
|

Alone, the spectre haunts his home
Another day, to fight away the pain
Perhaps this is the way, to feel
Am I even sure this is all real?
Why, do I do this to myself?
Hating everything, deprived
The draining of the soul and health
Thinking I am nothing, contrived
Wandering through the hallways
Pretending to exist
A ghost, among the living
Floating through the mist

Glazed Eyes
02:34
|

Here I sit, staring into space,
Not aware of time or place
My mind wonders what could be
Instead in front of me I do not see
The whispered voices in my head
Tell me I would be better off dead
Possessed inside, to harm the skin
Knowing deep inside, I can never win
The mental maelstrom, deep black hole
Quenching its thirst, on my very soul
Draining all desire, but at what cost?
Alone and helpless, completely lost

Caesar or Nothing
02:36

Motivation, ambition slowly fades
Same old chore, over many decades
Try to reach your goal, try to wait it out
My mind begins to wander and even to doubt
I wish to be Caesar, to have and own it all
Never knowing that life happens, eventual fall
Once the routine takes hold, automaton husk
Remember to keep on trying, dawn until dusk
The fall changes you, you are not the same
But you allowed the fall, you are the one to blame
Do not use excuses, the misery is your own
Embrace the abyss, remember you’re alone

Self-Loss
02:15
|

Who am I? Am I even me?
I hear noises, very loud screams
The spectre forces the mask to be worn
I try to resist, but the husk has been torn
Persona reborn, the puppet self is revealed
Acting on the stage, true self is concealed
A war is waged, to face who I am
To win the battle, I must give up the scam
I cannot be the person I foresee
I’ve failed myself, that is my decree
Hate keeps seething, a darkness is born
The world around me, feel nothing but scorn

Internal Struggle
02:33

You have revealed yourself, shadow me
I see you clearly, I accept my reality
Not longing for the future, or the distant past
I am tired of fighting, your time has come at last
My self-loathing, inspired by failed grandiosity
I now know I am average, a real mediocrity
Your dark ways I now rebuke, I will take control
My heart and soul are not gone, I want to be whole
This lack of empathy, no emotional release
Bottle it all up, all of these feelings cease
Give in to the silence, do not say a word
Be gone now, fiend, I am me, I will be heard!
