I, alone I fill my head

With everything I have

See into my empty face

Scarred I know I'll never be

You're all the power in my fucked-up feelings

Worn out by frayed old visions

I know I am you too

So I wear your mission

Mark my every step

And choke my lonely breath

So I can bear my seed

Slay—well I do know my hand

Obey—I look into myself

Crawling—ragged in my brain

I'm no enemy to me

I am the hate you made

Of flesh and blood

I am the man you hate

Now left you sour

Embark my solitude, fill up with pain

Beloved enemy you never betray

I know you

Still I pay

Simple way

Go insane

I don't beg

Never I choose

Will I ever?

I'm still you

Chaos is the way you drain me into be you

Last traces of the me

Converted by your rein

Merge into an indigestible pestilent trip

Seasons of infinity

Inhabitant of pain

Incorporeal sense can't resist what I need

Spirits to release my power

Reckon I'm beyond recuperation

Swallow every hour

Here I stand in the middle of my entity

Revile my head

You're all I have and I ask your feelings

Ritual

Ritual

Hand in hand

Back to back

Yearning to

To obey

See—I go insane

Me, your only friend

I never run away

Hate—you're all I ever have

Know I am seeing your realm at my bed

Our love never ending

You run my head

See I was made for you

You roll my mind away

Embedded in hate

You're all I have

You're all I have
