Illusions

We are surrounded by walls, built by ourselves.
I'm still searching for the reason, the meaning.
behind this world, beyond this eyes.
We are surrounded by illusions, shaped by the alienated perception of the world.
Deceptions fill us, falsity feeds us and then truth kills us slowly.
We grew up in fiction, decided by the world, and the reality is an illusion, when we refuse to see.
Few are able to recognize the real world, this is the truth, and the truth is not always what it seems.
Few understand it. Few are able to recognize it.
What the fuck have we become? Where the fuck will we go?
We live illusions like we live our life.
What the fuck have we become? What the fuck is real?
Understanding what surrounds us, the reality where we are stuck in.
Everything becomes clearer and the gray rain curtain of this world is opening, and everything becomes silver glass.
Understanding what surrounds us, the reality where we are stuck in.
Brushing aside the veil that covers our eyes, and blinds us.
Brushing aside the veil that covers our eyes, and blinds us.

Memories

A moment frozen,
in my mind.
I will relive it again.
A moment lost,
frozen in the horizon of events.
Light can't run away,
it catch you and bring to eternal void.
Only memories will remain.
Abyss of perdition,
I will not surrender.
My memories, my memories,
are not going into, going into nothing.
Don't lie to me, lie to me,
we are nothing, nothing.
My memories, my memories,
are not going into, going into nothing.
Don't lie to me, lie to me,
we are nothing, nothing.
Events, action I made,
cause, effect,
now it's all gone.
Events, action I made,
cause, effect,
now it's all gone.
Events, action I made,
cause, effect,
now it's all gone.
Events, action I made,
cause, effect,
now it's all gone.
The sadness will go away.
The memories will remain,
stuck in the horizon of events.
Forever (forever).
My memories, my memories,
are not going into, going into nothing.
Don't lie to me, lie to me,
we are nothing, nothing.

Eyes

I'm here just to live a fucking dream.
Once I used to be a person who did not want to see,
my life had slipped away from my hands.
All I know, all I know, now I'm alone, now I'm alone.
I left the best of me inside of you.
I'm alone with my guilt.
When you used to look me in the eyes, I got closer to my dreams.
All I have to know, you are my illness,
but all I want to see, it's you and me.
All I've ever known, it's nothing but I can't let you go. Let me go.
Oh my god,
oh my fucking god.
Open your eyes, your lies are filling me like venom in veins.
Your lies are filling me like venom in veins.
Once I used to be a person, who didn't, who didn't, who didn't,
who didn't want to see, and my life has slipped away from my hands.
But this is not me.
This is not me.
This is not me.
I'm free, I'm nothing to you, to me.
I'm free, I'm nothing to you, to me.

Nightmares

Sleep, baby sleep tonight, travel through shining woods.
Sleep, baby sleep tonight, you are safe and sound.
Don't you worry, the wolf won't come. I will stop the evil, the monsters of the night, are far away.
NO, we are not safe,
the night took away our defenses,
leaving us naked, at the mercy of our worst fears, our deepest woe.
Silently laughing at our weakness.
Things change with every breath,
cursing the light of reason, but I can't do anything.
Things change with every breath,
showing the power of our fantasies.
fairies become devils, lakes become marshes,
the flowers fade, all bleeds.
so.. the abomination of your creation,
comes from your deepest thoughts.
All we see is you. All we see is me.
The things are changing one more time, our worst fears are collapsing into something we can't control.
NO, I cannot be here, we cannot be here,
my own eyes are lying to me,
this rotten world, this putrescent landscape,
dead friends, and burning fears.
the Hell in Earth, the polluted Heaven.
moving to the cold Sky, moving into the Void.
NO, I wanna see.. I wanna see the light, this place will consume us.
Naked in the glittering void, screaming to the stars.
Aeons like minutes, billion eyes pierce our flesh,
without hope, without escape.
Screaming to nothing, we're trapped in our minds.
Breathe, baby breathe for me.
Wake up, please wake me up.
I see the light, now we can be free, the chains of this nightmares are broken NOW.

Existence
04:54

A Human being is made of unnatural lies and contradictions,
that will bring ruin to our progeny.
Insanity is the answer.
This world deserves to be devoured.
This existence without purpose must end. NOW!
This world deserves to be devoured.
This existence without purpose must end. NOW!
The texture of existence, from stars, to particles, is questioned by men: insignificant particles of an infinite system.
We ask to ourselves the wrong questions, that give us useless answers.
We look for things that don't belong to us.
We look for things that don't even matter.
We look for things that don't belong to us.
We focus on abstraction.
We focus on theories.
We focus on ephemeral.
We focus on God.
We look for ways to complicate a fatuous existence, to fill it with meaning, when few simple things can do it. YEAH!
This world deserves to be devoured.
This existence without purpose must end.
NOW.
