Dismembered 03:08
Walking alone again in the dead of night. I’m constantly wondering, why I even try with you. Or continuously feed into your ego. Gave into your ego. I can’t comprehend how I became so profound, like I was under a spell of trickery. Round & Round the cycle never ends, and countless times we end up at each other's throats. Like two blood thirsty animals fighting over mere trash. I never thought we’d be in this position, after all I did for you, after all that we’ve been through. I gave you my entirety and received nothing, in return now i stand here dismembered

Correlation 02:38
Remove the Scales from my eyes, so that I may see what lies beneath. Behind the surface of what, everyone tries, to hide in plain sight. I’m disgusted by what i’ve seen, this world is plagued with lies and blasphemy. Open your eyes and see. The true nature of what life is meant to be. Each life has meaning,so you can’t discriminate. Just because you commit to memory, doesn’t mean that you perceive the truth. Always the same pattern, just in a different form. Do you think ignorance is a good excuse to use. Only believing what you see. You’ll never see the truth until you look at what lies beneath. What lies beneath.

I don’t think that you’ll ever understand, the hate I have for you. You threw me down like a piece of filth, like i had betrayed you. I have have closed the gap when i have the chance to but, now here I am. One day you’ll see all of the pain that you caused me. And how you let me down. I wish I could explain this unbearable pain, that I now carry around. Can’t even seem to trust myself, it’s just like they say. History repeats and people don’t seem to change. They never learn from their wicked ways. I constantly change, constantly change. I wanna bury you six feet deep but, my heart and soul simple won’t allow me.
5.
When will you realize the truth in front of you. When will you see all the things that you’ll be facing. Take it from me, a life of lies isn’t one of luxury. Like a snake in the grass hiding and lurking. Demanding answers without searching. Can you tell me how can you claim to love those who support you. When all you see them as is the dirt under your feet. Over the lies and the fakes, that walk around with an overblown sense of pride in their eyes. Suffocating from the weight of hypocrisy. Hollow bodies and lifeless souls surround me. They try to embrace me, they try to change me, but it doesn’t phase me.

Labyrinth 02:22
Lost in a maze of my own design. Feels like i'm losing my grip, feels like i'm losing my sense and perception of time.Falling faster and faster, into my own vortex. Created by the mistakes I made, and the waves come crashing over me. And i can hardly breathe because it’s too suffocating. My mind can’t the pressure, all I want is to feel reassure. Don’t take it personally. No need for help, so I don't want want to hear anything you got to say. I had to go and do it for me. There is no questioning, everything I did for you. Left alone on my own. Everytime I close my eyes, I think to myself swallow your pride. My mind can’t take the pressure, all I want is to feel reassured. Don’t take it personally. No need for help so I don’t want to hear anything you got to say. I had to go and do it for me.
7.
Is this all just a game, tell me can it get worse. All along i’ve felt nothing but, this disgusting vile curse. Cast your eyes and watch the end of my sanity. The black shepard laughs as the weak crawl down at his feet. No absolution, no hope. Will I ever see light again and I hope you fucking choke. On every soul that you swallow. I swear god you’re like a disease without a cure. Like a mother with disregard for her children. You’re fucking vile you care nothing for those who you have power over. Just fucking die. The badge on your collar doesn’t hold any more power to me. My eyes are bloodshot and all I can see is red. This pain will always taunt my head.

about

For this Ep we wanted to convey anger, rage, and aggression. We all had gone through a very rough patch which led up to this Ep and these songs express the deep emotional pain/ growth we had went through. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.
