lyrics

A spirit, controlled...
I have been haunting this home while slowly walking these halls as the walls begin screaming.
In between the light, I see them dissipating, faces turning white.
I can't survive in this hell, and we are annihilated.
When our eyes connect over the expanse, we'll see oblivion and find our place in the void.
All this noise is gripping my mind.
I can't seem to unwind.
The vices closing in, I feel them puncture my skin.
My hands aren't free to release them.
My body floats through the ceiling.
Peering through the window with the fire fading while failing to find the disconnection...
A tether binding us as we're pulling...
A wayward cutting phrase that just tears right through me:
"You are exactly who I thought you'd amount to be."
I am not your legacy.
I am not your path to meaning.
The last remnant of your reflection.
Your influence is fleeting.
I cast away all of your projections.
I know what you fear: altering your own perceptions.
I don't need you here.
Sever me from the expectation.
You could have said I don't fit the outline of your vision.
I could be dead, and you'd bury me with no distinction.
Autonomy under a veil, all consuming...
A derivative existence...
My resistance is your misery.
Suffer with me or detach.
The reservoir is dry.
Barren dystopia that has become my life.
Inch by inch, we claw our way up into the glaring white matrix.
These broken pedestals and mental spaces that we occupy...
Your path to meaning is just the road I was forced to follow.
Your influence is fleeting.
Note the fact that your passion is hollow.
I know what you fear: altering your own perceptions.
I don't need you here.
Sever me from the expectation.
