Championship 03:10
Wrapped in leather, I feel the sting. Give me pleasure, make me scream. There's no words, nothing left to say, Just follow me, are you ready to play? Darling, lover, let's do it all again. Flesh sings, I burn, I don't wanna play pretend. Darling, lover, let's do it all again. Flesh sings, I burn, I don't wanna play pretend. All in bondage, pull it tight. Tie it harder, I won't fight. Perfect prison of my desire, come inside and taste the fire Darling, lover, let's do it all again. Flesh sings, I burn, I don't wanna play pretend. Darling, lover, let's do it all again. Flesh sings, I burn, I don't wanna play pretend. Flowers and ribbons won't disguise, pain and power in my eyes. Look closer and you'll see, we are who we're meant to be. We were never meant to hide, deep hunger from inside.

Acid rain falls from ashen skies, Oh, how the flames reflect in bloodshot eyes. Where embers of our dreams have come to die, It's time to wake.. On the edge, there's no wine left on our tongue There's no words, and our songs are left unsung. So we fall, but to fall is the surest path of all Perfect words with their hidden blades We've been seduced, and used in imperfect games Lovely towers, are left to rot and decay It's time to wake.. Before the end, the taste of glory fades, Once your life, now it has become your cage Down once more, dear we fall into the sea Hold on tight, I'm sure it's just a dream Falling fast, the fire is fleeting. All around, all I see is death and ruin Thick fallout, I'm suffocating I'm suffocating I'm suffocating

Imposter 04:34
Look into this glass, tell me what you think you see Look at yourself, it's not your mouth that's speaking Faces in the crowd, that don't look human anymore Far less than before Imposters in the mirror baring their teeth With stretched out grins that don't belong to me Pieces everyday are slowly fading The imposter is me Invading my voice, intruding in my flesh Feeding on the ghosts until there's nothing left Who am I, if not this person I see How can I trust, when looks can be deceiving Take my hand Take my breath Take what's left Pouring from an empty cup Take my hand Take my breath Take what's left Shattered glass and broken trust Who are you? Who will you be? The imposter asks Without me, you are nothing, nothing, nothing Silent voices scream, but I can't make sense of what they say So here I'll stay, searching for what remains Take my hand Take my breath Take what's left Pouring from an empty cup Take my hand Take my breath Take what's left Shattered glass and broken trust Broken pieces, little pieces here and there, not enough for me to gather Missing parts, portions of me laying bare But I'm hidden behind empty stares The ghost inside, a ghost stuck in time isn't really me I'm left behind, from here to eternity Take my hand Take my breath Take what's left Pouring from an empty cup Take my hand Take my breath take what's left Shattered glass and broken trust

I gave you life, but made you blind, don't eat the the fruit or you'll see through my disguise The Prophet said, don't forget Him, just eat the bread and I will save you from your sin Be not afraid, that's what He said, I'll keep you safe and the score will settle when you're dead We've been unbound, but we're going down Don't be afraid of what's underground Save me from his light, save me from his 'truth' I'll be free at last, where God won't intrude Behind closed doors, their cries ignored, putrid smiles where God's men protect the vile. Poisoned tongues, they feed on the young, to keep them scared but we're the ones who need repair? They kill their sons, praising His name, empty hearts, I can't live in that kind of place. Blind teachers, faithless creatures, unashamed in a house made of broken pieces Liars on golden thrones Sinners who cast the first stones False prophets here by their legions Paid for by holy demons We've been unbound, but we're going down Don't be afraid, of what's underground Save me from his light, save me from his 'truth' I'll be free at last, where God won't intrude The unbridled few, amongst the masses, who are you but truth rising from the ashes I cast you out, you are unclean, I'll call it love but disobedience is obscene Go forth now, into the night, you are free, go seek your purpose and your light Break the chains, destroy the altar, don't look back, they will catch you if you falter We've been unbound, but we're going down Don't be afraid, of what's underground Save me from his light, save me from his 'truth' I'll be free at last, where God won't intrude The Prophet said... Now your Prophet's dead Your Prophet's dead

Invocation 03:51
Tear through my skin, taste what's within Strip off your disguise, darling thing with devil eyes We weren't made this way, I've paid for your mistakes Don't deny your disgrace, I'll seal your lips with my name Pulling threads from ragged ends, I've been unmade Frozen in place, frozen in place Take what's left of me, scars and sin are all you see Realise I'm more than this, redemption escapes your grip A tryst of hate and despair, wretched love, a tired affair Summons blood to start anew, and cleanse me from false virtue I won't wait one more day Pulling threads from ragged ends, I've been unmade Frozen in place, frozen in place Burn off who I was before, cleanse away the old face I wore Bathe me in the flames, I'll soon rise again And when the smoke clears, you'll see how Closed chapters make no difference now Each new beginning, has an end Each farewell is hanging by a thread Each new beginning, has an end Each farewell is hanging by a thread Each new beginning has an end Each farewell is hanging by a thread

about

Monachopsis (pronounced “mo-na-kopsis”) is a noun, and it is defined as “the subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place."

Swept up in the rolling tides of existence, living a life as indiscernible as one grain of sand from another.
Peel away the outer mask and find underneath the tenacious feeling of being out of place.
A voyage of self where 'self' is as unattainable as smoke through clenched fists.
