How When you’re burnt out Late for repentance Now Late to regret Helpless you Are You failed your mission You killed the time bestowed Look at the blurred shards of glass Hopes you buried alive No one has noticed this Sacrifice You failed your mission You killed the time bestowed Gardens you carefully grew Never bore fruit for you You’ve been exploited through Don't you see? Wake Up Never perceived real world from inside Falsified Trapped in a whirl of recursions disguised As daylight Those neon signs Dazzling lines Souls being sold behind A viper smiles Toxic spines Pierced through the skin To enslave You’re slave, he’s slave, we’re fucking slaves there Dare Don’t just stare Rage Free your rage Right Now Shake that Break that Set what you’ve created Ablaze And don’t let them Avail Wipe out Rise up Burn up Set what they’ve established On fire And don’t let them Put out Show your pride Your trembling limbs May speak for themselves All your attempts are vain Illusions beclouding guileless mind Ominous visions I denied The world seemed to shatter in a flash --Ash to ash Will you hear my voice through dust Justice sheds tears red from rust Count to ten --Close your eyes Tool of the system

Some fish are small, In shallow waters they live, Tremble and crawl, Glad with the crap they achieve. I’ve never been Satisfied with what I’ve seen. Dared to change Reality. Sun’s never been So bright, Its shine dizzying like wine… Icarus flew So high… Flash of fame costs much. Sea’s never been So dark, Its depth sucking inside. Feathers and wax – A spark Ignited to fade. Shaping mundaneness like clay, Transfigurating tomorrow’s decay Into a better space – Crazy idea hacked into my mind’s database. My vehemence is wild, Fierce beast roars inside: Like she-bear I defend my brainchild. Clear the way! I am crushing the bounds of today. Sun’s never been So bright, Its shine dizzying like wine… Icarus flew So high… Flash of fame costs much. Sea’s never been So dark, Its depth sucking inside. Feathers and wax – A spark Ignited to fade. They’re strangling me. Could they just leave Me be? Why can’t they Just leave Me be?! My dismay shows through X-ray. There’s no way To break away. Thoughts being squeezed By frames, No escape, That’s the end of the tape. Soul suffocates In flames, Gasps for air, Plunges more in despair. No way to regain Feathers scorched away. Daydream, where are you? All around has acquired, All around has acquired, Sordid hue. Ardor, where are you? All around has acquired, All around has acquired, Putrid hue. Instead of wings My back is now strewn with spikes. Envenomed pins Pierce fading heart, and evil smiles. One, two, one, two – Set off for you. Three, four, three, four – Knock on your door. Five, six, five, six – Greet your eclipse. I’ll come for each of you. No. No mercy. No regrets. I’m Evilized. What I feel now? I crave for vengeance. You’ll all pay For what you’ve done to me. Go and pray To get a respite. You know, I’m I’m Just Dying. I’m just a madman. I’m… Don’t listen to me. It’s over.

When I was five I was told, Equal we are before God. Dreams of heroes and knights. Momma’s sweet lullabies. I wish the world knew no sorrow, No vultures threatened my sky. I wish “examples to follow” Didn't cover up by white lies. Close your eyes, See no evil. (But I see) Cover ears, Hear no ill. (I’ve tried) Shut your mouth, Speak no vicious. (Wish I could) Put your trust In my hands. I pulled the cable out, Sweet pill I couldn’t live without. Could the matrix change as desired, No one would ever die. I wish my life were not hallow, Wish I had nerves to defy. I wish those “ruling tomorrow” Laid bare their fake alibis. Close your eyes, See no evil. (But I see) Cover ears, Hear no ill. (I’ve tried) Shut your mouth, Speak no vicious. (Wish I could) Never cheat Me again. Ignorance’s bliss, Face it. Binds you deny Run deep through your nerve cells.. Shields created for your bliss Obscure Abyss. Walls erected to eclipse The world’s Disease Won’t let the evil in: Razor-sharp jaws, Venomous claws. Decided to submit? Nothing to shame. (Lie) Don’t make the mistake I make. Don’t make the mistake I make.

Decrowned 05:09
I’ve gone to A shabby hut Hidden in the woods. Inside of it A woman baked An apple pie: “Darling, have a bite And you’ll find What they veil” I taste Rotten lie With each bite I try… Though now I Cannot shout, Truth will out Some day… I took my way Deep to the ocean (Its welcome wasn’t warm). Fought its grey Commotion (Its mighty waves, its blazing storm). Someone whispered My name – Whether fish have Voice? Took at face value Mermaid’s tales, But her kiss Was double-tongued. I taste Rotten lie With each bite I try Though now I Cannot shout Truth will out Some day Two-faced Crawling semi-snake, Keeping answers in sagacious eyes, Your omniscience Makes me freeze Hypnotized. Am I right (Yes, you’re right) That they lied? (Yes, they lied) Once again This guessing game (This goddamn game)… Now I’ve had enough. Look at me, Liar, Don’t you see: Though now your thousand heads feel might, Get ready for fight, My sword craves to bite. You mock at my searching, Sneer at my restless mind. Who do you think you are? Why do you think you’re right? One day you’ll be decrowned.

In the maze of voids and spirals I unwind A phantom thread. Ariadne’s gift, though precious, Disappears Once I look back. Oddly creepy is the night. Sense’s been left behind. Warmly dancing guiding lights Softly fade Away. Meet the newborn world. In this set of chess All kings are pawns. Tearing skies apart Grimly rises Scarlet dawn. In the maze of voids and spirals I unwind A phantom thread. Ariadne’s gift, though precious, Disappears Once I look back. Local valleys are red, Densely dotted with poppies, Each splitting to twin Copies. Land of reflections, A mirror Awry. Where am I? I knocked at a thousand doors: Silence day by day, Silence day by day… To admit at last: “It seems I’ve lost The way”. If only somebody could wake Me up From that Delirious dream. A stranger misguided By curves of life, Who now Seeks way out. I’d open my eyes… (Oh no!) If I had no fear… (Hold on!) If I had no doubt (Damn it!) That I am sleeping at all. (Morning’s come.)

I’m led astray. I’m blind. In the blue flame Dreams are dying. I’m still alive. Archive All the traces of me. Bittersweet self-deception… It both caresses and bites My tongue, my palates, sensors and vibes. My Fractions, Shards of me… Forcing through maze of mental remains, Self-annihilation down to neuron chains: Let delirium make its way, It’s already spreading through veins. Vain attempts to fight dissipation Deepen the chasm you are in. Faceless Nameless Substance. This is what you are. Nihil. Nemo. I’m led astray. I’m blind. In the blue flame Dreams are dying. I’m still alive Archive All my shadows. You’re a black-petalled rose Grown through mud and clay. You’ve lost all your beauty, All your flavor Through the way. Too weak to oppose Decay. Burning, wrenching, Violent, fists-clenching, Frantic, ecstatic Strive to survive. “You reap what you sow…” God knows, I tried! What did you reap? “Don’t go with the flow…” Hell knows, I tried! What did you reach? Your heart was supplanted By marble only to find – Seeds you planted were Empty inside. Your heart was supplanted By marble only to find – Seeds you planted were Empty inside. Life was an endless way Down.
