The Core
04:54
|

It is hell
Founded on bliss and ignorance
And they are hardly to blame
After all how could they know better
A child is a cruel beast
Society of kids is ruled
By early insecurities
Lie
Brutal force
Untamed
All of this thrives
In this young and dangerous world
And shockingly enough
That's what the adults
Will turn their backs on
It's almost as if they forgot
That the same world
Shaped their traumas and fears
Or maybe they know
And it's just the way
It's supposed to be
And here we are
At the gates of reason
To shut them through pain and fear
For years to come
You'll stray from the core
This is the core

Denial
08:55
|

A sense of change invaded my wealth
Stroke a compass
Tangled sense of direction
One glance shifts the scenery
I lose focus
Attracted to these new distractions
Temptations unknown before
Crawl through my head
Changing flesh
Into foreign distortion
As the lust is born
In child's mind
Lack of awareness
Spreads without control
This change is unnerving
Biological disorder
I don't know
But it feels so wrong
It's out of control
Everyone is watching
Waiting for things to go wrong
So I'll do it by my own hand
No
Please
Make it stop
I can't stand it
Stop
Please
It's so gross
I can't take anymore
I'm terrified but the thing is done
Now my innocence is gone
Am I the only one
Changing to this disgusting form
This silence around me
Propels all the agony
Of all that I felt so sure
You broken me
Corrupted and made me impure
Though born as a part of me
You shall be no more
This is war
But as I hate everything in those desires
I can feel them slowly spark the lightnings in my head
My eyes thirsty, searching ways to find your skin
My hands are itching shaking
Let me devour your flesh
This alien force is driving me fucking insane
Just let me quench my thirst and forget the consequences
I can't accept it
I wish I was shaped different way
Thus I'll prevail till this nightmare ends
Maybe I'm just afraid
So scared to say that I'm wrong
That I rather dwell
Another time I swear I won't do it again
Please God forgive me
For I think that I might've sinned
You broke the great narcissist
And left the stage to be the ordinary man
But there's a box in abyss
Old friend that you've missed
As your ignorance
Is bliss
This child couldn't know less
So he thrown it all into a box
That he'll never open
Except when he must
Let go
Let flow
Careless
Embrace me
No
Never
Let me go
You're not
Part of me
I (I will take)
Will (Take it all)
Take control
You (You got lost)
Are (To be found)
In denial
My hands are stained
But the act is done
Is this only way to keep control
Am I the only one
Changing to this disgusting form
This silence around me
Propels all the agony
Of all that I felt so sure
You broken me
Corrupted and made me impure
Though born as a part of me
You shall be no more
Cause this is war
Are we the only ones
Changing to this disgusting form
This silence around me
Propels all the agony
Of all that I felt so sure
You broken me
Corrupted and made me impure
Though born as a part of me
You shall be no more
This is war

At The Gates Of Reason
09:10
|
|||
At the gates of reason
You will learn your treason
Mind's particle rejected
I am depraved in my own birth
Yearning for your acceptance
But you have made me your worst fear
I despise my own awareness
But I hate your vision evermore
This war I never wanted
But I'm disorder to the core
I am the natural consequence of your growth
I am the reason why you are here after all
In your survival instincts are secrets of love
You are irrational your moral compass is wrong
Listen to me
My conscious existence is your mistake
Just hear the voice of yourself
Or later you will regret
At the gates of reason
You will learn your treason
Inside this box you locked me
You made the prisoner from part of yourself
You fed me all your darkness
So you could say that I'm someone else
So you're just a fucking liar
Trapped in paradox far worse than my jail
And though I love you as a part of me
I won't even feel sorry when you fail
You are the architect of your own demise
From unreal foundations you structured your soul
But that's just who we are
Through darkest
Of ourselves
We must face
The gallows call
At the gates of reason
You will learn your treason
At the gates of reason
You will learn yourself (x2)

Predator
05:29
|
|||
I faced a thousand trials
Tested all rejection ways
I've set a thousand hunts
And fought the monster in my head
All this for nothing
I feel bitter now instead of fear
Frustration was eroded
By exhaustion of the passing years
A sense of numb acceptance
Slowly grown within my thoughts
I cannot break it
And I cannot risk losing control
I'll keep my leashes tight
But I'll give you what you want
One day I'll find a way
To end you once for all
As night reigns
The gates open and monster crawls
Close your eyes and shiver
As the predator roars
Beware
His toxins flow through your leashes chain
With every breath
Temptations are closing in
To your soul
As I'm roaming through days
My another hunt begins
All senses sharp
As I'm approaching closer lonely prey
And when I touch her skin
Deep down it gets to me
I became the predator
That I wanted to kill
As night reigns
The gates open and monster crawls
Close your eyes and shiver
As the predator roars
Beware
His toxins flow through your leashes chain
With every breath
Temptations are closing in
To your soul
As night reigns
The gates open and monster crawls
Close your eyes and shiver now
The predator comes
Beware
As his toxins flow through your leashes chain
With every breath
Temptations are closing in
To your soul

Toxin

Strange
How have I changed
How I betrayed
All that I cared for
But I feel good
Her lips are soft and warm
And she's not only one
There are many more to come
And beast is finally calm
Is this wrong
I can't tell anymore
We're not hurting anyone
Just pleasure overflow
World is gone
I feel comfortably numb
Though deep down I am torn
But let's not talk about it now
All over temptations I hover
In spiraling motion,
Not knowing the end
All paths are designed to destroy me
So here I'll stay
The toxin is flowing through my veins
Slowly taking control
But I'm not afraid
Overwhelming pleasure is all I know (x3)

Predator II
05:58
|

It's over, dream's gone
And scenery's breaking
I can't hide it anymore
And they'll never accept it
The toxin turned against me
(I'm starving for more)
I need another dose to keep me sane
But everyone is turning their backs
I'm alone
I'm changing
I am the thing from the box I never wanted to release
I'm draining
So many feelings from others but I have nothing to give
My mind's bearly
Able to recognize if I am dead or alive
I won't accept it
I would rather die than accept you as a part of mine
Through collapses and suffering
I'm still fighting to keep control
Though I'm addicted to what you give
My leashes are still choking you
I am capable of anything
Just to keep this status quo
And one day I will find a way
To end you once and for all (x2)
I am the Predator
I'm looking for a way
To end internal war
And fill this heart with love
Love.

Her
03:33
|

She saw me
And for a moment
Time stood still
She felt strange at first
But she could get through
All the walls around me
And she made me feel
Something that I forgot
Was there below the noise
I've been losing hope
That life could be this way
It seems unreal
She turned me back
To the innocent child
And now she's in my arms
But I'm the one
That never felt so safe
She loves me somehow
And I swear I love her
For the rest of my life

Hollow
08:24
|
|||
I found her
She gave me place
The point of return
The inner screams
Have silenced
This cleansing mind peace
I've never felt so light and pure
With all that she gave me
My hope is born to end this war
I rise from the wreckage
This time
I will accept no compromise
I waited so long for this time
Fed by the toxins and trapped in lies
I always knew
You're a mistake a parasite
And almost believed
That there is no way out
Face me now
As I'm reborn
Older and wiser
I'll give you no chance to take control
I'll spit you out
And never swallow
I'm rejecting you now
Your existence is hollow
You think you can face me
You're non the wiser you were before
You are propelling this paradox
That will end badly to us both
You fell in love with her
But never made peace within your soul
I'm so confused if you're that dumb
Or this whole time you were missing a point
You've made this absurd story
Of the box and the predator and toxin
So you could feel sorry
For yourself and not the ones
You've really hurt
You blame me for the mistakes
You've made on your own
Your denial will hurt everyone
That you know
You've ignored your disorders
For far too long
But that's alright you are
Just a little kid
Through many years
You're bound to wonder
And lose your way
And feel regret
Cause you should've seen
You have to learn
Sometimes through the tears
Without this wisdom
Your love is hollow
Unprocessed personality disorders
Are like the parasites you've mistaken for pets
Now they leave their nests
And at the gates of reason
They eat you alive
Fragile construction
Seemed like romantic way to build
So I took it for certain
That we can always talk things through
I forged a hundred promises
Dismissing the uncertainties
Wished for new beginning
Hoping to outrun my past
I waited so long for this time
Fed by the toxins and trapped in lies
I always knew
You're a mistake a parasite
And almost believed
That there is no way out
Face me now
As I'm reborn
Older and wiser
I'll give you no chance to take control
I'll spit you out
And never swallow
I'm rejecting you now
Your existence is hollow
All I know
A temporal soul feeling lost
This formless contortion
Still yearning for home
I can see the flood
And the voice that
I have heard before
Through darkest
Of ourselves
We must face
The gallows call

Gallows I: Judgement
04:55
|
|||
Standing in front of this construction
Even though I have no doubts in myself
I can feel the anxiety and fear
Lurking in between my thoughts
And I know that no one can feel safe
Staring into the noose
So we're finally here in this desolated mind
The judgement
Will be done
One of us
Won't see
The new morning reign
And one of us
Will face
Everything he has done
My kingdom of soul
Has been through hell and worse
Forced to compromise with monsters
Ten long years ago
In vain we've lost every war
Forgotten faith and hope
Accepted the unbearable
Molded against our own
And somehow one day
The goddess entered our world
She took my side and said
Time to reclaim your throne
Surreal
As if in a dream
This long gone feeling
Bursted through my bloodstream
The rage for the war
Once deep concealed
The requiem for the lost
Innocent child
I am capable of anything
To bring back my kingdom pure
And today the judgement will reign
To end you once and for all

Gallows II: War
05:50
|

War
No more holding back
I've kept this wrath for so many years
I am the king of this fucking land
And you shall kneel before my crown
Even you
A fucking mistake
Distortion in young innocent mind
Just another obstacle to be erased
From my way to love and happy life
Closure of so many years in pain
There will be hell to pay
Embodied horror that you were for me
I will become for you
Ticking seconds to your demise
Until my life reaching it's Eden
Natural order of things
That was once lost in time
A sense of redemption is fading away
Reconsider your actions or it might be too late
One glance and you've ruined your kingdom
The fire you've set consumed all your wisdom
Your temptation for destruction
Will never set the world running backwards
You declared the war against yourself
And engaged even love to suppress your disorders
Trapped in paradox
Far worse than anyone for you could make
No one will ever feel sorry
When you will fail
I will find path
My life in purity
Yeah bro, purity is cool and all
Reminds us of our childhood
But you're an adult now
Don't you want like a little bit of sex
No
I don't want to feel these things anymore
Okay okay let's chill a litttle bit now you know
It's only natural and love is not really a replacement here
It's about the time dude that well
You should accept it
No
I will never let you be a part of me
No
Huh you're quite hot-headed about this stuff aren't you
Well then let me explain
There is no me here
You brought all of this to yourself
And now because you've so stubbornly ignored
All your needs and disorders
You'll hurt yourself
Destroy your love
And betray all that you stood for
Well I hope you're happy now
Because there is no going back
I am not to blame (and you will pay)
I would not betray (you're the traitor)
This can't be the truth (open your eyes)
Toxin piercing through (see through your lies) (x2)
I am the architect of my own demise
From unreal foundations I structured my soul
I can't look away
I see my own denial
This kingdom of mind and soul
Is broken to it's core
I've lost myself
My war is killing me

Gallows III: Judgement
03:07
|

Look at you now
You're a dead man walking down
The path from your sins
Now the judgement will be done
Your kingdom is in ruins
You've let your people down
And love was just a tool for you
That you broke just like your crown
Your purity obsession
Became the toxin in your veins
You are the predator that you can't escape
For all of this you're now sentenced
To answer the gallows call
Embrace the knot on your neck
Forget the prayers
No god will save your soul
Gates have opened (judge him)
Under my feet (falling)
Knot is tightening (hell is)
Crushing my neck (right here)
I can't breath in (time to)
I can't breath out (embrace)
Trapped in my skin (all of)
I am dying (your sins)
Sanity faints (liar)
Under my guilt (traitor)
Mind is melting (hollow)
Swallowed by fear (toxin)
One minute passed (agony)
I am nothing (erased)
Just a corpse torn (apart)
By convulsions
I am dead

IV Listening Skies
03:46

And just before my consciousness faded
Somehow my mind survived long enough
The warm night took me in its arms
In the middle of this desolated land
I saw there most beautiful thing there to see
Billions of stars lit the skies before my eyes
Though my heart stopped I felt so warm within
Though my body was cold I felt the tears coming in
And then the hangman began his tale
Story of many regrets and sins that he made
Finally free from his burden the dead man cries
Not alone anymore
Surrounded by the listening skies
You're safe now

Symmetry Was Never An Option Warsaw, Poland
Soloproject of a suburbian guy. A desktop musician.
I think music that I'll put here can
be best described as post-progressive metal. Because it's not really progressing anything or pushing any boundries. Just vibin' in this "area" of music.
My main inspirations are Devin Townsend, Contortionist, Meshuggah and Haken.
If u somehow stumbled upon this page - hey! Hope u enjoyed your stay!
