The Impossibility of Reason Lyrics

Cleansation
The Impossibility of Reason
Pictures In The Gold Room
Power Trip
Down Again
Pure Hatred
The Dehumanizing Process
Crawl
Stigmurder
Eyes Of A Criminal
Overlooked
Implements of Destruction
What did you expect from me?
Will I ever be who you want me to be?
Will I ever live up to your standards?
Will you always look down on me?
Maybe I'm not who you are
Maybe I want to be myself
Live the life I've always dreamed about
This is not your path to choose
Yes I taste it
Yes I breathe it
Yes I hate it
Yes I feel strain from our separation
but....THIS IS MY LIFE, THIS IS MY LIFE
My cleansation
Our separation
This is my life, this is my life
It's not yours anymore
Why did you insist on ruling?
Why did you try and control?
Why didn't you ever listen to me?
Ignored me like a dog
Maybe I'm glad
we're apart
Maybe I'm glad we don't speak anymore
I feel better now
Now that you're gone
The Impossibility of Reason (3:42)
You preach to me as if it matters
Never worrying about yourself
Or the wrong you've done
Think you know the way
Want me to follow you
Selfish lies you're set out to prove
So what if you've had your faith
You should realize
Realize that you're already dead
You fall
You fall face down at the sight of yourself
No one to pick you up
Look what our lives have become
I steal from you as if it matters
No remorse to me
or the shame to come
Thought I knew the way
Never followed you
No more time to lose, does it bother you?
So what if I had my faith
You should realize
Realize that I'm already dead
I fall
I fall face down at the sight of myself
No one to pick me up
Look what our lives have become
And that's why hell is the impossibility of reason
Pictures In The Gold Room (4:26)
Dark room opens
No light for years
No way to find out
How long has it been
Screams heard from a distance
The shredding sounds of pain
Looking for reasons
Slowly becoming insane
Four eyes staring
Such evil eyes
Picturing them
No longer alive
Accidental
Unintentional
Years ago
there was loss of control
Constant horrific nightmares
Life turned into a deadly maze
The haunting sounds play on
No more bruised feelings
Can it shine through this
Will it ever shine
The pictures in the gold room
No light can be this bright
Death is only a way
Desire and temptation
I lost you
False hope and rejection
Revenge and repercussion
Rejection, revenge, false hope
Repercussion fade to extinction
No way to explain
The blame has to be given
A wrongful accusation
Only stirs the rage
A fire that cannot be put out
Can only enjoy the insanity
To become the nightmares
Will end the dreams
Cold winter chills
No escape
Will this ever end
This is the final maze
Face to face
No time to waste
this is the time for revenge
Your claim to fame
Of crushing dreams
Your control has no hold on me
I hate the way
You have to shame
You act like nothing's happened
It's time to rise
The final fight
This is the last time
I
will not fail again
I will not let you win
FUCK YOUR POWER TRIP
I'll throw away the wasted days
The chance for revenge
My claim to fame
Ended in vain
This was the last time
You are the one who's forsaken us all
Nothing has changed so together we fall
I am the one who's led us to believe
You can't change me
How many times can it change?
How long will I be restrained?
It's appalling to think that
All my time seems to be wasted
Will it stop or is it only beginning?
Here
on the inside
My life is not over
I'm down again
Fake smiles surround me all day
No more can I tolerate
These excuses or all this constant pressure overloading
Make it stop, the fire's always burning
I have told you things need to change
You never listened or came to my aid
This vicious cycle has not changed
MY time's spent rearranged
Motherfuck it all
I can't stand this
Remember when I said everyone makes me sick?
Well, nothing has changed
I hate everyone
The vicious cycle still remains
Constant, clusterfuck, bloodstains
Ignorance, you kill for God
Expression not allowed
You fucked it up
With your motherfucking games
Remember when I said I was so ashamed?
Well, nothing has changed
You have to pick and choose your fights
You have to come out of this alive
I have told you things need to change
You never listened, never came to my aid
This vicious cycle still not changed
My judgment fades away
You'll never change me
Remember we are through
I am staying here
To betray all of you
And nothing will change
The Dehumanizing Process (4:10)
Clear the way, the new king has arrived
To take your place while I've got you on your knees
I always had this vision of who I'd become
A powerful giant who could rule with ease
And who would
Bring the truth
I will bring the truth
Your time is up - there's no chance left for you
Bring the truth
I will bring the truth
Your time is up as I end it for you
Was it me or were you just afraid?
When you promised me nothing but a throne
When time comes you will hide the fact
That you will only be one way
A fake liar
You can try to hide
It will all come back to you
You shatter dreams before tthey're fully dreamt
You're a pig and should die
I would feel no remorse
I honestly absolutely fucking hate you
HATE YOU
You can't change this
The only thing you have to remember is
Bury my dreams - I will bury you
As I lay this to rest
Shadows appear reminding me
Of all things left unsaid by me
Maybe one day you'll believe
That I will crawl
I will crawl on broken knees
It's beyond what you really need
Forcing it all out of you
Will I make your life complete?
Come clean
Am I the sorrow that you won't reap?
Am I the secret that you can't keep?
Well I won't stop until I'm complete
And I won't stop until you believe
I won't stop until you need me
Ever want to commit murder?
Fell the rush as you kill
Looking into dead eyes
Collecting their last thoughts
Sometimes I feel no remorse
Sometimes I want a taste
Why am I so different than those who can just do it?
I want to change what I've become
But I can't kill the urge
But I can't kill the urge
You are now mine forever
Walk with me one last time
You'll walk with me one last time
I feel you embracing
You wish it would end
I feel life for the first time I ever have
You cannot fuck with me like you have in the past
This time I will stop you dead in your fucking tracks
Your eyes close away
As I feel salvation
Now you pray
Light, the final vision
Your eyes are blank
I want to commit murder
Fell the rush as I kill
Looking into your eyes
Collecting their last thoughts
I never feel remorse
Now I want a taste
I know I'm no different than those who can just do it
I want to change what I've become
But I can't kill the urge
I can't kill the urge
You are now mine forever
Stigmurder
This rage has overcome
No more will I shun
These thoughts I've had
This lie I've lived
I let them put the blame on me
Engulfed in hate
Retaliate
You can't conceal these thoughts
You can't disguise this rage
You have overstepped your boundaries
Now I've got....
I've got your back against the wall
Forever trapped
Staring through the eyes of a criminal
A broken home
Left alone
An excuse you used
Don't bullshit me
Save all the breath that you can breathe
Engulfed in flames
Incinerate
You can't conceal my thoughts
And you can't disguise my hate
Staring through my eyes
Closing comments made you wonder
What was the start of it all
Hunting to find the answers
Unavailing attempts to be me
Hey...
Did we distract you?
Did we prevent you?
Did we bore you?
Did we stop you?
And I'm betrayed by you
Won't be overlooked by you
Betrayed
Betrayed
Hoped you were thinking of redemption
Found out you had erased the memories
Erased the thought of me
How can I believe this untrue?
I know I'm not insane
Come take a look in my eyes
