Other Self

Time to face the fragments of the
mind that was a part of you
Escaping from the slow decay
Dissolved into the darkest hue
Take a look at the face you had
The spark of hope in your eyes
Dreams abducted, instincts choked
All my visions paralyzed

Pain and pleasure showed the way
How to love or how to hate
We used to be one entity
Heading for a common fate
Emotions dried like wastelands
A drained and soulless body
A brand new wheel began to turn
in your divine machinery

chorus:
You had my trust, but you needed their sympathy
You were my voice, but you let it be taken away

Born as one we were, the chains were never seen
Still the rust of conformity has eaten everything what you have been

Contempt is my only fate, nothing else I can possess
Still I can hear you howling inside our mutual emptiness

Locked-up in a secret room
Behind the gate of sane design
I saw the filth soaking the walls
No matter how hard I defied.
The shield is torn asunder
The other self forced to its knees
They've infected all your thoughts
through the screens of their disease

Fearing from the consequence
Of resisting the persuasion
Now you get what you have longed for
Enjoy your sweet deprivation
Nothing left to be afraid of
You will never be alone.
Among the selfless mob we are,
Rejoice now in the void you own
