[Chorus] 
The peace is dead inside my soul
I blame the shadows on the wall
My own intentions swallowed whole
Am I the one who had to fall?
The only one who could carry on this far
Feeding the parasite to heal the scar

[Verse 2]
Torn I am filthy
Shedding the persona born in the misery of my own dynamic structure
Stole all you gave me
Recycled the trauma, control is the illusion that preceded the rupture
The body is a vessel, but the water is gone black
We separate the pieces just to put them back
Beneath the floorboards of the ego, something shifts and crawls
You claim you save me while you fill my hands with stones
But I am digging through the marrow just to reach the bone

[Chorus]
The peace is dead inside my soul
I blame the shadows on the wall
My own intentions swallowed whole
Am I the one who had to fall?
The only one who could carry on this far
Feeding the parasite to heal the scar

[Bridge]
Peace in my head, a mathematical equation
love in my head, a systematic invasion
Lies, lies, lies, locking down the grid
Exposing everything the collective sub-conscious hid
Divide the whole by zero
Watch the timeline bend
Descending through the syntax
To the very end
Sustain the frequency
Embrace the undertow
As above, so below

[Chorus]
The peace is dead inside my soul
I blame the shadows on the wall
My own intentions swallowed whole
Am I the one who had to fall?
The only one who could carry on this far
Feeding the parasite to heal the scar
To find out what we really are

[Outro]
Turn away
Shed the skin
Let the healing fracture begin
Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy the mind
Leave the old prison behind
Just leave it behind
Just leave it behind

[Verse 1] Peace is what they sold me Packaged in a spiral Am I unholy? For peeling back the skin to see the muscle Lies are the geometry they used to keep me idle Despise the ones who holds the needle, sewing up the puzzle The calcified mind is begging for a fracture Feeding on the shadows that we manufactured Beneath the floorboards of the ego, something shifts and crawls You claim you save me while you fill my hands with stones But I am digging through the marrow just to reach the bone [Chorus] The peace is dead inside my soul I blame the shadows on the wall My own intentions swallowed whole Am I the one who had to fall? The only one who could carry on this far Feeding the parasite to heal the scar [Verse 2] Torn I am filthy Shedding the persona born in the misery of my own dynamic structure Stole all you gave me Recycled the trauma, control is the illusion that preceded the rupture The body is a vessel, but the water is gone black We separate the pieces just to put them back Beneath the floorboards of the ego, something shifts and crawls You claim you save me while you fill my hands with stones But I am digging through the marrow just to reach the bone [Chorus] The peace is dead inside my soul I blame the shadows on the wall My own intentions swallowed whole Am I the one who had to fall?
