[Intro] [distorted guitar feedback, rapid double-kick drumming, harmonized guitar lead] [Verse 1] [aggressive screamed vocals] White let the smoke linger on my lips It's painted these timeless hours grey We escape and find love drifting in bliss I free myself from my isolation To turn and be complete and small again Though my heart is dead inside, it continues to beat We all tremble in our internal awareness Can we ever be free? I believe we can [Chorus] Connected to the blood moon eclipse We are the ghosts in the machine Learning from the past and seeking home Released from our cages, we are reborn [Verse 2] Lost to war's desires, we often feel like nothing Yet we could be everything, shaped by our perceptions We bend but never break, we protect ourselves But I struggle with self-loathing and long for self-love All I need is to breathe [Chorus] [growled vocals] I see clearly now, I've experienced life's pain A volcano of emotions boiling within me I confront my inner monsters, I want to avoid goodbyes But this is the last one I'll say [Bridge] [half-time drums, clean melodic vocals] I'll celebrate after victory, finding solace in my own oblivion I wrestle my suffering, gaining wisdom from death's disruptive forces I need to escape this suffocating space Before I lose everything, I burn with creative passion I must heal my wounds and seek help To create a better life, together we can support each other In a world where even family can betray us [Chorus] [screamed vocals, driving double-kick] I refuse to be controlled, I break the system We run our engines into oblivion, fighting for our lives Overcoming inner turmoil, I am reborn through pain And wisdom, finding beauty in suffering [Outro] [guttural growls] The earth is stained with blood And redemption is a battle against extinction I will not die in this life, I will pass off contrast Exploding with memories of struggle Will I ever be free? [guitar feedback] I'm ready to break away from the sacrifices made I've waited to tell you, leave my life I will build an empire from my pain Extracting beauty from my agony I want to offer hope, but I often need reassurance That my struggles have meaning, kindness must prevail Our actions should prove it, we must fight for peace And rise anew from our suffering [sustained guitar chord, drums fade]
