lyrics

I am the false architect standing over each envisioned moment.
Achievements defaced by the void in which I lay.
Monuments that I’ve created, destroyed by harrowed vision.
Trapped inside the grasp of my own vicious expectations.
Creation tainted by my hand, ravaged by what I contributed.
Will my name remain when my flesh is withered, mind is barren?

Disconnected from who I am
Voiceless, will I stand?
Will everything I build upon crumble into nothing?

Doubt corroded such feeble wiring.
Time feeds upon this deathless design.
Hope emerges with no context until I realize this has just begun.
Hearing the voices within the confines of my mind.
Let me end, departed is all I can hope to be.

Embedded and impaled by every broken promise made to myself.
Pinned and confined to the ultimate truth;
I’m worthless compared to what I strive to be.
Hold me accountable and set me ablaze,
Behold the light of failure’s praise, the burning disgrace.
Give my doubts control and proclaim me the false idol.
Retribution in emptiness, letting myself rot.
Striving for worth in a world that wants me worthless.
Crawling through filth just to find the light of my dismay.
I refuse to die.

What I perceive from my fractured mind, can I take control of this life? x2

Monuments that I created, destroyed by harrowed vision.
Trapped inside the grasp of my own vicious expectations.
Creation tainted by my hand, ravaged by what I contributed.
Will my name remain when my flesh is withered, mind is barren?
I refuse to amount to nothing.

Doubt corroded such feeble wiring.
Time feeds upon this deathless design.
Hope emerges with no context until I realize this has just begun.
Hearing the voices within the confines of my mind.

Tooth and nail, claw forth from the voice in which I lay
Release myself from the prison I've created.
Banish the demons that have exiled me,
Create the vision that configured my dreams.
Stop the assurance of atrocities.
I will amount to something.

First WTF was google music actually throwing something good into my feed. Second WTF was everything every goddamn member of this band does. This and the previous album have been on repeat for weeks. All other music tastes like diet water. Help. Gruso

I don’t usually go out much for metalcore/deathcore but this album would easily make my shortlist. Emotionally captivating with great storytelling and an overall solid musical performance. 7/10 RJ
