The God of Disillusion
01:50
|
|||
|
I am the blind leading myself around
Eating the lies that I spew out
I have become a god I never wanted to be
With every word that I breathe
I am the god of disillusion
I'm slowly stitching together a fantasy
My mediocrity a masterpiece
I have become a god I never wanted to be
With every word that I breathe
I'm the god of disillusion
How much more can I swallow down
Before the stitches rip themselves out
I have become a god I never wanted to be
With every word that I breathe
I'm the god of disillusion
Screaming
I have become a god
I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be
The god of disillusion

Severance

What happens as life goes on
When every link has been erased
Who can I turn to when you're gone
Where do I go to feel the same
Why is it so hard to hold on
How can I hold on
I want to remember
And I don't know if I have what it takes
My mind is racing after memories
But they still shatter and break
These photographs stare back
Like a stranger wearing my face
It's a lifetime away from me
I rewrite and replace
Everything is so far gone
How can I hold on
I want to remember
And I don't know if I have what it takes
My mind is racing after memories
But they still shatter and break
I want to remember
I want to remember
And I don't know if I have what it takes
My mind is racing after memories
But they still shatter and break
I want to remember
Don't leave me
Forever
Severance keeps me here
And I might be forever gone

Infection (Cut It Out)
03:06
|

Find the antidote
Something's got to change
I don't know if I'm getting close
I've wasted so many days
I've been giving in
Feeling weaker every day
Like a stranger in my skin
Recognize the new face
Recognize the new face
This infection in me
I need to cut it out
Every habit I relapse into
I need to cut it out
Cut it out
Cut it out
Chasing down the medication
To fill the void
I'm piling pills as the replacement
Feeling toxic and destroyed
I've been giving in
Feeling weaker every day
I don't know where to begin
Chasing down a blank slate
Chasing down a blank slate
This infection in me
I need to cut it out (cut it out)
Every habit I relapse into
I need to cut it out (cut it out)
Cut it out (cut it out)
Cut it out
This infection in me
I don't know how it grew
This infection in me
I'm slowly giving in to
This infection in me
I need to cut it out
Every habit I relapse into
I need to cut it out (cut it out)
Cut it out (cut it out)
Cut it out (cut it out)
Cut it out (cut it out)
Cut it out

Façade
02:58
|
|||
|
I'm on the edge of a downpour
I don't know which way ends the storm
It's so bad that I can't ignore it
I feel like I've been here before
I can't peel away
(Wait)
The fake
Skin over my face
(I might not be okay)
It's the mask that I made
A façade that I portray
I hate
(Wait)
The way
I have to be so fake
(I might not be okay)
And now it's overtaking me
I've had my head in the clouds
Thinking this was a way I could get myself out
Blind to the storm I let surround me
These consequences drown me now
I can't peel away
(Wait)
The fake
Skin over my face
(I might not be okay)
It's the mask that I made
A façade that I portray
I hate
(Wait)
The way
I have to be so fake
(I might not be okay)
And now it's overtaking me
Wait
I might not be okay
I let the storm surround me
Amidst the howling
Now I'm here drowning
In the façade that I create
(Wait I might not be okay)
I can't peel away
(Wait)
The fake
Skin over my face
(I might not be okay)
It's the mask that I made
A façade that I portray
I hate
(Wait)
The way
I have to be so fake
(I might not be okay)
And now
In the façade that I create
I might not be okay

Control
02:27
|
|||
|
It's in the silent moments that I let myself bleed
These promises I break that I will never speak
I don't want you to know at all
That I have lost all my control
It's like a hunger that I've been forced to feed
Like the eyes of a predator inside that are haunting me
I don't want you to know at all
That I have lost all my control
I have now lost all of my control
I have now lost all of my control
I don't want you to know at all
That I have lost all my control
I don't want you to see me

Parasite (Fall Upon Me)
02:36
|
|||
|
Clawing in my skull
Scratching down the back of my throat
I don't really know
How to live with this inside my soul
It's eating away at my mind
Burning the edge of my sight
Like a demon underneath my skin
Haunting me every night
I did not consent to have this parasite in me
And now it's running through my veins
As if that is how it was meant to be
I don't really want to be the one
To have to end this cycle of disease
But now I feel like all the pressure
Is coming to fall upon me
Crawling through my veins
Dripping through the system of me
I don't really know
If there is a way out at all
It's eating away at my mind
Burning the edge of my sight
Like a demon underneath my skin
Haunting me every night
I did not consent to have this parasite in me
And now it's running through my veins
As if that is how it was meant to be
I don't really want to be the one
To have to end this cycle of disease
But now I feel like all the pressure
Is coming to fall upon me
It's eating away at my mind
Burning the edge of my sight
Like a demon underneath my skin
Haunting me every night
I did not consent to have this parasite in me
And now it's running through my veins
As if that is how it was meant to be
I don't really want to be the one
To have to end this cycle of disease
But now I feel like all the pressure
Is coming to fall upon me

Emotional Damage
03:23
|

This constructed anatomy
The parts you pulled out away from me
Make me hollow
I can't let go
Holding on for dear life
I just want to know
Who I could have been
It could've been different
Without this
Emotional damage
All along you've left me wondering
Why you left me here alone and fumbling
What happened to
The words you swore as truth
Now that it's all over
I just wish I knew
Who I could have been
It could've been different
Without this
Emotional damage
Emotional damage
Who I could have been
It could've been different
Without this
Emotional damage

This EP brings me good thoughts. There's something poignantly blissful between the music and lyrics and these three songs work together perfectly.

Wulf is a genius. His work as Neurotech has been a huge inspiration to me. Huge synergy on almost every track.
