[Verse 1]

Reality suspends my present life

Curious thoughts, I confront my mortality

Uncertain to the laws of the unknown

I have no fear in facing trials of the mind


[Verse 2]

One by one

Sifting through ossuaries of creation

Looking for a worth, is existence pointless?

Perceptive to the truth, I never may return

Resistance falling short, I sever all my ties

One by one


[Verse 3]

Vanish into the unseen origins of infinity

A pleasant swim in the seas of dormant ecstasy

A state of being I could spend with all of eternity

Suspended above the remains of what I used to be


[Verse 4]

I can see things not capable of imagining

The explanation of my mind has progressed me endlessly

Things that once were illusions have become reality

I perceive now what was never clear to me


[Chorus]

Unwelcomed kind

No way to overcome, I'm disadvantaged prey

My way back has been erased

Torn from my bliss

No longer bound in flesh, a dismembered soul

Helpless to what I can't see


[Chorus]

Unwelcomed kind

No way to overcome, a disembodied soul

My way back has been erased


[Verse 5]

I must focus on what I can't see

Things done to me, I cannot explain

Falling further from myself

To give in would end all my pain

Subconscious misery placed unto me


[Verse 6]

Is their meaning to this life?

To break away transparent light

The end is clearer

Pass through the mirror

I fade into the sky


[Outro]

Hanging in the balance

Drowning in the afterlife
