This everlasting energy that drives us further to the end
It proves fatal, vital to be
Incomplete is to live and perfection is death
We are all marvhing martyrs in this hole called earth

We all crawl our way through life to live
Bred to consume and to breedm to bleed

Striving for a life of perfection
Unable to see what we really are
Convince ourselves that there is a point to breathe

A vision of salvation that keeps us striving for the cause
Is it pointless?
Devoid of hope
Incomplete is to die and perfection is life
Telling lies despite yourself is fodder for the weak

Striving for a life of perfection
Unable to see what we really are
Convince ourselves that there is a point to breathe

What is man but a self proclaimed evolved animal
Following pointless rules and fooling itself its own
Existence is of any relevance to this world, at all

Idiocracy, reality a self fulfilling prophecy
A recurring nightmare of goals you can't achieve

Striving for a life of perfection
Unable to see what we really are

Recurring nightmare of goals you can't achieve
Unable to see what we really are
Recurring nightmare of goals you can't achieve

Brainwashed and programmed
Begging for approval, what approval?
We crave things out of reach
A vicious circle of social needs

My own enemy is me

Fate twisted by metal, my mind has been torn

A scorching reality, a twisted hate resides in me
Through gears and bone it grinds its way
The releasing of a plague - reality

Through compulsive urges, another man is born

Life has come crashing before my eyes
As the person deep within me dies
Transcending all

Fate twisted by metal, my mind has been torn

My own enemy is revealed
My own enemy is me

Debilitating reality, is there a point, am I even awake?
I am nonimpotent, am I poisoned beyond the point?

Now don't disappoint them and do what you're told
Like cattle to the slaughter, no will to oppose
Independence denied

Inside me, victim of a raging war
Inside me, the person I was before
Inside me, I am lost in this maze
Inside me, caught in a tragic phase
Within me, release myself from denial
I'm no longer begging for approval
Inside me, I am lost in this maze
Inside me, caught in a tragic phase
How do I release the rage?

Now don't disappoint them and do what you're told
Like cattle to the slaughter, no will to oppose
Into an emptier void

We crave things out of reach
A empty void of social needs

Dazed of effort
Formless, emotionless and flawed

We crawl back into the dark
Of a cold comfort, yet again we are withdrawn

We stand in line
Approaching the light that will change our lives
Yet we still crave things we cannot have
Overcome by greed until the bitter end

Was it too bright today?
Broke a window of opportunity?

Dazed of effort
Formless, emotionless and flawed

Did desire go to ravenous?
Still you're no step closer to tell us
Of your fabled times, left empty on the side

We stand in line
Approaching the light that will change our lives
Yet we still crave things we cannot have
Overcome by greed until the bitter end
All the weakness that comes before me
Forcing me to fall into the void
Left by our world

Into the (n)ether - we all fall
Into the (n)ether - into the void
Non existing ether - heaven forlorn
We all fall - into the void

Defied
We all fall - into the void
