ThePersonalLies
I tear my mind apart
Fragments scatter sideways in time
An existence close to none
Prime mover unknown, yet thoughts aren't mine
The infinite swallows
Sound and silence merge into one
The orders from the inside
Are lost and mute, a course to truth
Who are you? What holds you down?
What do you know? How can you cope?
Do you still feel whole?
Can you escape the personal lies?
The wicked wallow now
Sound and silence become none
The voices from the outside
Are lost and mute, a course to truth
I read between the lives
Dissolve and fuse what's inside
Sometimes it feels like it's right
Sometimes it's breaking my mind
Sometimes I don't want to change
I'd rather just stay the same
Accept my face and my name
My human form, it's ok
But the more I sleep
The more I dream and weep
For the lives of my past
That give me reason at last
So when I slumber more
The more I dream of doors
That lead me to my past forms
Of ravens, aliens and whores
Of priests with sins
Of harlequins with grins
Of science, poets and wives
Or lackluster empty deadbeat eyes
Finding pieces of souls
Should stitch them back, so I'm told
Engraving flesh with their names
Before the memory fades
And maybe someday I will
Collect my mistakes and I'll feel
Release from this maze…
Come full circle, do it all again
A human form and a mind of god
The lies I've told now unfold
The best of worst, can't clench the thirst
I'll be the first to admit I'm cursed
Can't cope with this, an endless list
Of pests I miss that don't exist
The lows and highs, can't break the ties
Abandon the self, depersonalize
An alien abduction of self
Realized in a moment
Desire for singularity
Now gone
Owning the creation without beginning
Is there really me?
Reflecting upon the internal
Deflecting the external
What was never lost is found
With thoughts of feelings I feel my thoughts
Drilling through dimensions
A futile existence with meaning

Identity Dispersion
Children of light wandering through time
Hoping for a purpose so divine
Though their existence is a crime
Grabbing all, swallowing without control
Trusting the knowledge from ancient scrolls, mistakenly
Violating their own souls, disgracefully
Then the pressure cracks like broken glass
All the shattered fragments disperse from the past
A royal purpose of missing parts
The puzzle pieces of a diffused heart
In every shard a specter sleeps
No righteous meaning for the weak
But we still seek the lacking parts
Not knowing we're each a form of art
Skies alight in bleak twilight
A brackish forest of the mind
No life, nor light, nowhere to hide
Why are we all so lost inside?
From a perfect unity
A fruit from a cosmic tree
An essence shrouded in mystery
When all is one, We're not free!
Dispersion of identity tears the corpse in half
What is left behind is a muted epitaph
Dispersion of identity breaks the will in two
Constructs of the mind barely pulling through
What is left of us all?
Merely statues of stone and cold
Unresting soul that's still earthbound
Noble essence in meaning drowned
In the end the parts are scattered around

Chronicles of an Idealist
Trying to reach an ideal that's useless
Counting all the false abuses
But all the strength I've gathered has no uses
From now on I'll be ruthless
Pierce the veil, march and never fail
Along the trail that leads to unholy grail
Eyes now rot, everything you ever sought
Can be caught with thoughts of naught
Now you hear a painful shriek
The last thing you see is a plague doctor's beak
And ideal life, full of lies
A mindful lie, rise up high
The idle eye, is not a prize
What you saw was our demise
Your final cry, of how and why
The tears won't dry and a wish to die
The world is sly, so you won't try
The truth is close, but it shan't comply
An honest mind, a single thought
I hope it's mine, a hope that I sought
A grain of sand, a moment passed
In vain I stand, I can let go at last
A touch, a scream, a choice, a dream
This world, this will, so wrong and sealed
And once again I'll break the time
Dig myself out of this grime
And I'll trust my heart, my eyes I can't
This song's a prayer, these words, a chant

Fragments of Hate
What made you what you are?
Isn't it all so bizarre?
The choices that you've made
Making a wrong one, unpredictably afraid...
Fragments of hate sticking to the core
Controlling the anger, hate and gore
Defining my every move
The embrace of roots you can't remove
You don't want to open your eyes
You're not free at all
Decisions made don't matter anymore
Abandon the mirage and face the lies
You'll never be free no more
The will is spinning you out of control
To be unbound, was all I wanted
Instead I'm petrified and haunted
The solace for humanity slips away
The towers of hope were built out of soaking clay
Past and future deemed hopeless and gray
All the knowledge we learned lead us astray
What made me is a scar
Piercing my soul, the light of a star
Seems so close and yet so far
The hate inside burns everything to char
Like a moth inside a jar
Controlled by past from afar
This corpse is just an avatar
But now I shall break this seal
Before my fate I shan't kneel
All the memories that now are welling
Fragments from the past thunderously yelling!
All I wanted was to be free
The pain, misfortune now defines me

Trust NoOne
I'll write it down, but it won't matter
My false joy on paper splattered
Same pain disguised in a different pattern
All the hopes in silence shattered
You can build, but I will crumble
Distracting voices, dreadful mumbles
The weight of truth, a thousand pounds
A deadly game of hare and hounds
And it sounds like me, but trust NoOne
I promised you all, even the Sun
A broken promise that can't be undone
Please save this for your firstborn son
You know I was honest and true
You knew I couldn't handle you
A ''Sorry'' that sounds so wrong
''I miss you and I hope you hear this song''
In my chest I know I'm blessed
Oppressed through people I know best
Obsessed with lies I've confessed
Undressed in front the lying pests
Depressed with fears I have suppressed
Possessed with feelings of unrest
And I confess, without you I am less
And I attest to these words that I detest
The strength of two that was so great
Leaving hate at the gate
But now it's too late…
The scenery that's tried and true
Don't regret the time that flew
Even though it's lost through and through…and through
The ones you know you shouldn't trust
We've tried it all, what's left of us
Praise of love turned to dust, then rust
The things I've said I meant it all
We didn't know they announced the fall
Please don't answer this call…at all
