Amanita

1.
Is this all worth fighting for? A search for truth? I come to you with empty hands And I've lost all hope
2.
It's making me kill A hunger deep inside I'm longing for the taste of flesh I long to see you writhe No shame in mutilation Morals are cast aside A hunger deep within That only flesh will satisfy Is my fate now set in stone? My mind is no longer alone Something is inside of my head I have become the walking dead I'm no longer who I used to be (You are mine) A shadow of my former life (You will abide) I only exist inside my head (Only that remains) Can you end my suffering? (You will rot in chains) My humanity is lost (Take it with you when you die) Undead graves are calling me (You can never die)

A New Life 03:01
Stop, open my eyes Is this where I've led myself? Is this what I've become? How will I move on? I feel the time has come To recognize That the past is past So I must press on After all these years pass by I find myself starting over I leave this place Desolate and disowned A starting pace A new life I've begun I leave this place I'm never coming HOME
7.
Home? 06:30
I find it hard to say what's on my mind These pictures running back and forth again But it's all I have So I'll run and find a new place to rest these eyes So I'll run away and find a new place To call my home, to rest my head These places offering nothing new to me I've seen it all before and I thought I left it behind me Hopelessly suffocating every fiber of my being The newest places But I'm seeing the same old faces It's reaching into me and it's tearing out the seams I'm being me in no way The things I've done will never be forgiven But they will hold me down no more I've come to realize it doesn't matter It's all the same, no matter who you are or what you've done Oh, I tried to come back but they wouldn't let me in I guess I wasn't the same, or maybe it was them who had changed So I tie up the rope and I climb up the ladder How did it end up this way? I try to relive the day, but I'm not who I was back then A stupid kid with no direction or plan All alone, I thought I'd never give up Bite my lip, you fucking coward, just jump
