Pain Relived 02:16
Tired eyes perceive new light and the cycle begins Every step forks a new path but this pain must be relived Suffer through another life, suffer through eternity I would die a thousand times just to feel your light again Leave behind all your fear, leave behind all your doubt Leave behind all your fear, leave behind all your doubt Let all your pain soak into me, I'd gladly suffer in your place All the hurt that you've endured, now it all belongs to me I would die a thousand times just to see your light again Let all your hate rip me apart, I’d gladly suffer in your place All the hate that you've consumed. now it all belongs to me I would die a thousand times just to feel your light again Let all your pain soak into me All the hurt that you've endured, now it all belongs to me

Resentment 02:13
In the face of annihilation, will my heart still be content to die? Will I be absolved of all this hate and self resentment? If I die by my own hands, will I be less in your eyes? I tried so hard to be content in my agony I tried so hard to be the man that you saw in me If I die by my own hands, will this pain be felt in vain? If I fall on my own sword, would you embrace me in the afterlife? In the face of annihilation, will my heart still be content to die? Will I be absolved of all this hate and self resentment? Tear my heart out, purge all this poisoned blood Rip out my lungs, suffocating within my own skin Let me bleed out into the night, it's what I deserve Let me bleed out into the night, my divine right

Forced into a false sense of hope Prolonged pain is all that's promised as life escapes the body and this world is reduced to ash lost souls wilted by faith now trapped in this endless cycle To be born is to suffer and to die is to be reborn Intimate death is no release, only a step towards the collective hurt Intimate death is no release, only a step towards the collective hurt Eternity's torment, all yours to perceive This pain is mine as much as it is yours Eternity's torment, all yours to perceive This pain is mine as much as it is yours

A mind’s obsession with the burden of self ,the paradox of inner doubt Spiral down into the shadow self, face the shame you carry I stand here broken before you, the man who haunts my reflection My true self stares back in disgust, all my guilt comes to the surface What I see in him, I loathe within myself Intertwined into his veins, lay my sins, fear and my hatred He exists to remind me that I let you die And how here i am still alive yet so empty In my failure I lost all hope to the burden of my existence I stand here broken before you, the man who haunts my reflection He exists to remind me how I let you die And how here i am still alive yet so empty

All this time spent in the dark, all these years burdened by fate Is my right to walk this path? is it my curse to walk it alone? I fell apart trying to hide abundant sorrow I lost my warmth watching the light fade from your eyes All this time spent in the dark ,all these years burdened by fate Is my right to walk this path? is it my curse to walk it alone? I fell apart trying to hide abundant sorrow I lost my warmth watching the light fade from your eyes Guide me through this darkness as I accept my wretched fate My soul is yours to nurture, my body yours to consume Guide me through this darkness as I accept my wretched fate My soul is yours to nurture, my body yours to consume Guide me through this darkness as I accept my wretched fate My soul is yours to nurture, my body yours to consume
