lyrics

Enter the source, the origin place
Where fear and confusion are born
From echoes of laughter to internal battles
Behind my eyes there is war
So deeply entangled within a web
Of perceptions that do not exist
Living within the eyes of others
The bleeding will only persist

Self-diagnosing in self-isolation
Although I can hardly explain
Dysmorphophobia, “brain vs. body”
Unable to write my own name
Digging far deeper than one man should dig
Opening all the wrong doors
The cycle was product of thought in itself
Don’t know where to go anymore

Standing at the open gate
I ask myself: What did I create?

You’re not supposed to look at yourself under a microscope
Your habit of overthinking exposed will create false evasion of hope
Think yourself into oblivion
Drowning within the symptoms of your
Perilous mind

(Solo - Joe Garcia)
(Solo - Ivan Duran)

Blood begins to trickle from the bowels of the mind
Body locking up and turning cold - shaking, weak
Everything around you is becoming one big blur
Heart beating heavy sending tremors through your body
Can’t recognize yourself, so detached from your surroundings
Falling deeper in more just as we stand here

The seconds feel like minutes and I see no end in sight
My whole life to this moment has always been a fight
I can’t hold back now because I’m finally giving in
All grip of the world lost in just one episode
Looks like I’ve finally reached the end of the road
Have you witnessed the collapsation of my soul

Lingering within my subconscious
The question will always remain
Is anything real or is it all manifestations
Of my self-blame
Sobering moments provide reassurance
The voices that cut deep inside
Yet still so unclear where it all began
Can’t find the real reason why

Peering out from the abyss
As I sink within my own absence

You’re not supposed to look at yourself under a microscope
Your habit of overthinking exposed will create false evasion of hope
Think yourself into oblivion
Drowning within the symptoms of your
Perilous mind
Perilous mind
