Arcane Addiction

— Domestic Disturbance —

“upon the seas of fate, you were brought here tonight
to resist your feelings, to fight against your untimely demise
join me my brothers and sisters

search, kill, destroy, search, kill, destroy
search, kill, destroy, search, kill, destroy the human race”

do you think that i could care
less of what you could think?
take this time frame and let it flow
goes to show what the fuck you know

i won’t…
be the reason you touched me
be the reason you hurt me
it don’t make any sense
this domestic disturbance
be the reason you loved me
be the reason i left you
it don’t make any sense
this domestic disturbance

i’m always at the fault
i am my parents mistake
give me your best shot
you know i won’t break
break away from the me that you know
aggression is all that i can show

and now i will quit
you will mean jack shit
you will see my face
you know this is it

this is for the t.v. screen
now i am your only fiend
ward me off with god’s will
the only filth he can instill

i’m always at the fault
i am my only mistake
give me your best arm
you know i won’t break
break away from the me that you know
my only guess is all that i can bestow
you fuck

— Shut —

it’s not like you care
i sit and you just stare
into the eyes of me
as you want to try to see
it’s nothing you expect
it’s nothing to believe
underneath this face
i want to relieve

shut your fucking face
i will put you in your place
shut your fucking face
you will never win my race

i speak you won’t listen
gold star words that glisten
in one ear and out the other
to you, i’m just another
it’s nothing you’re trusting
it’s nothing you’re breaking
underneath that face
well, i know you’re faking

shut your fucking face
i will put you in your place
shut your fucking face
you will never win my race

if you don’t listen
no one ever will
these thoughts recurring
beliefs you instill
to me
to be
somebody’s
analogy…

shut your fucking face
i will put you in your place
shut your fucking face
you will never win my race

shut your fucking face
shut your fucking face
shut your fucking face
shut your fucking face

— Atrium —

set yourself up for the bomb
drop the ricin from your lips
thanks for none of your help
while lost in this black abyss
march to the beat, hypocritical
feel the poison within (cynical)
this is the great depression (clinical)
far from now, your current pinnacle
swim deep in your metal void
locked in your cage, destroyed
from afar, i feel that i’ve enjoyed
this truth has kept me annoyed

you can’t take this from me
you aren’t what i can see
i’ve taken so much from you
i feel that i’ve become unglued

come on out, just as you are
dressed in the shadow’s veil
i come rolling like a thunderstorm
the sky cracks, it leaves a trail
i am putting you in your place
and i leave evidence they can trace
you know that you must embrace
that this is how i talk, face to face
i look inside and expose this trait
dig out a thousand tons of weight
it isn’t too early to say it’s too late
you’ve given me something to hate

you can’t take this from me
you aren’t what i can see
i’ve taken so much from you
i feel that i’ve become unglued

this all has breached the hull
carved out a spot within my skull
never a moment can be so dull
your metal void has become null

— The Future We Left Behind —

there’s a problem with your future
seems it’s not so bright
i’ve been chosen to be left behind
seems to be my fate
the judgment i will soon receive
it won’t be enough
there’s a problem with your future
it’s left me feeling so irate

they’re not able to control us
they’re not able to protect us
they’re going to infect us

we let it continue on
it has been placed
we have abandoned it
the truth is erased

we have all said so many things
and they use it against us all
they will wire tap our spirits
and our souls will be sealed
our curious minds think alike
we should want to know more
i will help you to expose them
i will be your shield

you cannot believe the shit they say
you cannot live this way
you will not believe the news today
the myth is real and it’s on it’s way
it’s on it’s way
it’s on it’s way
it’s on it’s way
it’s on it’s way

they’re not able to control us
they’re not able to protect us
they’re going to infect us
they’ll never care about us

we let it stop here now
it has been placed
we will stand together
the lies will be faced

there’s a problem with your future
seems it’s not so bright
i’ve been chosen to be left behind
seems to be my fate

— Apologue —

we are the chosen ones, and we do not exist
we wore out our hearts, on our open wrists
bleeding to the power, forever a slave
hypnotic it was before, we chose not to stay

we know who we are and we will not suffer
we join together here and we’ll grow tougher

lead the young and naive to a place of security
guide them to trust that we are stripped of purity
born on a crusade to the hole in the sky
to fall through the clouds to descend, just to die

feeding tenacious ideals to the consumers
brainwashing children into your slavery
networking for life, killing abusers
yet we are not amended for our bravery

we know who we are and we will not suffer
we join together here and we grow tougher

lead the young and naive to a place of security
guide them to trust that we are stripped of purity
born on a crusade to the hole in the sky
to fall through the clouds to descend, just to die

the longer you lie, the more we disbelieve
the shorter you speak, the more we receive
the longer you wait, the less you get ahead
the shorter you hesitate, the less likely you’ll be dead

— Malice —

swimming in a sea filled with apathy
misunderstanding everything i was meant to be
coinciding with the fact i feel empty
is this everything you wanted from me?

as long as you know i am here
everything will seem quite clear
i reach in deep and grab my soul
i blacken it, i am out of control

in this lifetime you will realize
that to survive you must realize
we’re all dying in this twilight

i feel chained down to a concrete bed
with a fucking gun pointed at my head

it’s fading, it’s blurring
false promises that were alluring
the glare, the dullest nor brightest
leaves no comfort in the slightest

they walk me in, so i can say goodbye
while, you’re forced to watch me die
someday, maybe i’ll come back to
until then, i’ll be watching over you

— The Death Cradle —

would you take me home, i feel fucking cold
in my own ways i break, still, i’m growing old
take me rape me so i feel this hate glow
in your own ways you break, just so that you know

i think i like you, but i don’t know about you
so i just run away and hide so i can never come back
don’t look at me this way
it feels so wrong
because you have a place
where you belong

would you take me home, i feel fucking cold
in my own ways i break, still, i’m growing old
take me rape me so i feel this hate glow
in your own ways you break, just so that you know

now we have our cause and we have our effect
this relationship, it’s all something i’d never expect
because you want me now i go home
and i lay in bed crying
because you’re not my type
i guess it’s all worth for in dying
don’t look at me this way
it feels so wrong
because you have a place
where you belong

would you take me home, i feel fucking cold
in my own ways i break, still, i’m growing old
take me rape me so i feel this hate glow
in your own ways you break, just so that you know

would you like to come down and play within
and feel every inch of my dead skin

would you take me home, i feel fucking cold
in my own ways i break, still, i’m growing old
take me rape me so i feel this hate glow
in your own ways you break, just so that you know

— Immolation —

those you loathe and those you fear
taken within a minute grain of salt
you point the finger and you take the blame
just to realize all of it is our fault
don’t think twice that this is okay
unsheltered cattle, we are the prey
but once it’s okay, it’s taken away
predators we become, and the laws are gray

it is not right for us to disobey
yet it feels alright
it is not right to speak our mind
yet we have to fight
you notice the shape is changing
yet we disallow it
hypocritical and unrelenting
these lies mean shit

it is time for us to take it back
a system that has become perverse
a style that will become extinct
a sure way to live our own lives
they try to control who you are
if we fight back they won’t get too far
believe yourself and they will dissolve
the pills you take that helps the soul stall

it is not right for us to disobey
yet it feels alright
it is not right to speak our mind
yet we have to fight
you notice the shape is changing
yet we disallow it
hypocritical and unrelenting
these lies mean shit

this is what i am and this is what i get
with liberty and injustice for all
this is not who you are so that you know
you can’t fucking control

fucking control
losing control

it is not right for us to disobey
yet it feels alright
it is not right to speak our mind
yet we have to fight
you notice the shape is changing
yet we disallow it
hypocritical and unrelenting
these lies mean shit

— Deity —

i’ve waited for this day to sit here and pray
you are now my slave, you got what you crave
the power to unite, the power to divide
the power to provide, the power is implied
i will help you govern, i will help you dictate
you have betrayed us all, my life must now negate
recreate my vision, what lives does not matter
you will bow down to me or your dreams will shatter

pay attention to me now

i want you to make bombs, i want you to destroy
i want you to murder, you will be my decoy
i want you to use gas, i want you to suffer
i want you to use drugs, you want to be tougher

we will be corrupted with greed and ignorance
we will attend the church, we’ll bathe in brilliance
out of my act to god, i want you to convert
be careful what you say, the impure will obvert

there is no god left here
there is no need to fear
i am your supreme being
the one you are feeding
this is a lie, you’re enticed
i will convince you somehow
there is no jesus christ
pay attention to me now

i want you to make bombs, i want you to destroy
i want you to murder, you will be my decoy
i want you to use gas, i want you to suffer
i want you to use drugs, you want to be tougher

— The Occult —

sometimes they can see the bright colors
sometimes they can predict what will become of us
step up to the plate, they cannot keep the weight
the formulaic expressions, these times are unjust

are we doomed to a nuclear holocaust?
(are we doomed to be burned alive?)

take this with a grain of salt
hardening the veins
taste test the fear
isn’t as delicious as my deceptions
i will mislead you, walk into my trap
forever in my mind
the faces melting off the bones
reveal your true self

their practices, in their faith
nothing has been this close to home
buried within my heart, covered with my faith
this is what they’re wanting
simplify the equation
there is no answer for what we’re due to become
we wear this mask, we won’t be judged
our past is erased but we’re forever haunted

did we believe in who we were?
(did we believe in nothing at all?)

all that we did, was write a white lie
all that we did, was pass off this disguise
all that we did, was write a white lie
all we did, was pass off this disguise

— Virgo Rising —

and you come into my life
you think you steal you rape
you’ll never take me down
i accept this fate
i am locked into a prison for
my motherfucking mind
this is my memories
you shatter like glass when
i take a bullet to your brain
such a pretty face
yet, this is my memory
and i’m gonna take it back

watch me disappear…

i am reminded of all the shit you put me through
i defeat the purpose of what it takes to handle you
i made my choice to select what i touch
i am unbearable but you are way too much

it’s time this is exposed
the obvious cannot escape
my eyes see all
i’ve found my security
i see your faults and it’s time
to tear you down

watch me disappear…

i am reminded of all the shit you put me through
i defeat the purpose of what it takes to handle you
i made my choice to select what i touch
i am unbearable but you are way too much
