Insomnia

A silent fear is emerging within this ephemeral skin.
Doomed to insomnia, inhaling synthetic air
To remain deprived of primary needs
For giving up what keeps us sane.
We did not become what they thought we would be,
It seems that our agony makes us stay alive,
It frees us of what we pretend to be.
This skin is suffocating me;
It chains everything you never wanted to see.
We'll never go back to sleep.
False voices of a god becoming real
Blind prophets avowing through
The cold and dark night,
A parasite inside our minds.
A public enemy locked up to be an experiment and never sleep.
Madness keeps me alive under the suspense of midnight.
Silence invokes all my fears,
Bringing out the worst in me,
The pain and the shame.
Stay awake as nights pass by
And let them show you what it's like
To be alive,
In their silent eyes
You will find the truth behind
Their rotten minds
We are the madness that is enclosed in all of you,
From the depths of your animal mind.
We’re what you sleep, silence and paralyze
When you hide behind your eyes.
So nearly free.
Free yourself from sanity, so easily have you forgotten me?
Hide in your sweet dreams that soon we´ll go for you.

A deep hell withering the sunset,
Conquering all the misery of men
Who live like predators and gods of everything.
An internal war is shooting out
The guilt into our veins.
An usurpation of the air (left in me)
an everlasting curse.
Collective callousness ended with the raison d’etre.
This world is drowning in its own core
Letting out the worst of our fears.
Humanity's vision became blurred
Before we could even repent.
Why have we been so blind?
We watched as we poisoned the air.
(Just take the last breath),
Why have we been so blind?
We are condemned to perish in the depths.
Cry your shame,
Pray for your sake,
Hold your breath in,
Because this is the end
Of the world in which you believed you reigned,
This is the reality, the ocean claimed what had been taken from it.
The sky fades as the pressure compresses your corrupted existence.
This irrational world sank to make way for new creation.
The cities of sin came under by the touch of her pure being.
(She condemned us for her grace)
Pray for some fresh air, because you’ll never feel it again.
Why do we cling to breathe?
When we have poisoned the air
Why do we cling to breathe?
When we have been part of the fakeness
This world is drowning in its own core
Letting out the worst of our fears.
The fragments of our vision became blurred
Before we could even repent.
We don’t deserve to breathe, we are condemned
We don’t deserve to breathe, we don’t, we don’t.

They stagnate inside of me.
I can feel it,
Memories overwhelm me.
They are changing me,
Reaching into the spinal cord,
They contaminate my veins and break my bones.
The voices inside my head
Torment me, judge me for what we have done.
These shadows are blinding me,
Chasing me like a shark to a trail of blood.
Where is the forgiveness? Where is the repentance?
That's supposed to be what humans must feel
Why are we still here? After all this betrayal.
You believed to be safe,
As you come out of the darkness,
You have not noticed that the killer is hidden
From under your own skin.
Voices take over me. Silence seems unreal to me.
We are caught up inside of our sins
Condemned by insanity,
You’re becoming your own slave.
Everybody is going to feel this agony.
And now the eyes are turning gray,
This blame and the flames of hell.
They started to burn, they started to burn,
The faith, the love, the prayers.
We fall in it,
We are the ones who unbelieve in sanity,
We’re becoming the real enemy,
We are the tides in the ocean of fear,
We are the men of dementia.
Can you deny all this? Welcome to insanity.

Forgive me for everything.
My dirty existence spoiled everything you loved, everything you dreamed.
I tried to hold you, and then I lost you.
Blinded sanity, and conjured up a disaster.
It’s all about to fall.
Sorry dear for my insatiable thirst,
I dared to feed my demons with your divinity.
I couldn’t get to be what you deserved,
So please forgive me.
A part of me died with your hopes and desires.
Is this it? Or must we beg for forgiveness once again?
If everything breaks, if we wanted to take it
It will be too late to repair everything
That we never believed that could be our downfall.
We destroyed the pillars that carried us,
Compelled to make amends
For we are the cause of our own disgrace
Now I’m accepting this fate.
This is the end of the line
We can’t escape all the mess that we’ve made
This is the end of our lives
Oceans unfold upon us; we’re left to drown.
Sorry dear for my insatiable thirst,
(I never saw myself when I looked in the mirror)
I dared to feed my demons with your divinity.
(I knew it was something else)
I couldn’t get to be what you deserved,
So please forgive me.
The whole world will fall under your feet.
Every second that passes away,
Your purity comes back to look like what used to be.
Take my eager hands, cover this earth with your wisdom and clarity.
