lyrics

Wake up, merge back with reality
Umbilical noose tightens, from self-animosity
Life or death, the fuck I care, I’ve long made my peace
Nothing can fulfil me, until the day I cease

Feed the Empire with my blood
I drag myself through the mud
I choke myself on shit and pus
Empire – It Is Us

Stitched together, flesh and bone
My eyes are set onto the throne
Abdominal existence, of orderly chaos
A temple of illness, sickness and pathos

As much as I infatuate and elevate myself
I can’t help but fall before man-praised wealth
Selling away piece by piece, with fear of rotting on the shelf
Reinventing myself day by day, redefined in my own hell

Suffocating grief, loss in disbelief – probably
Become a better me, unlike the better you – arguably
Just a lifeless mass, all of me – definitely
A sleepless kind of fear, nightmares’ all I hear – eternally

“Bow down, I am your reflection
Now drown, In your own weaved convictions
Your vanity, inanity, lack of humanity
Your mundanity, insanity, this is your reality”
