[Verse 1]

Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat

Losing contact with the living

Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain

Don't see anything real in the game

The tension is building constantly

No reason, just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork

I try to keep an eye open, and I realize

I haven't closed my eyes in a long time


[Verse 2]

Neglected emotions leading to catastrophic voyage on the other side

I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence

I've been given the gift of so small hope deep inside

I haven't closed my eyes in a long time, I am trying


[Verse 3]

I cannot stomach these forms and colors anymore

But I'm here to continue after all I have been through

I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing

This life and death more precious than anything


[Verse 4]

I won't bring no materials in the afterlife

Take no possessions, I would rather travel light

I'm of this kind that kills all day

But I don't know yet how to die

Art of dying is the way to let all go

Within I practice in the secret of my soul

My shape in the reflector has now forever

Life on its own
