Hollow concepts and meaningless words. I can`t control all of my urges. I can`t seem to hold on, while everything just passes by. My life has left me, this life contains no I. Emotions overwhelm me, how can I even resist. When memories fade and it seems like I don’t exist. Amnesia, she controls all of me. I can`t hold on, I`ll never break free. Amnesist, caught in nothingness. Here there is no saviour, nothing to regret. I accept I`m done, I`m a part of the past. My hollow existence is all that is left. All that is left (2x). My essence is reduced to nothingness. And my existence is all that is left. (2x) But does this mean that I should just give up? I can`t belief this is all I persevered for. I will light my torch, find my path in oblivion. No signs to guide us but we keep moving on. No signs to guide me but I keep moving on. Every step forward is progression. I stop to see some kind of light. Amnesia won the fight.

Build your own throne, based on top of your lies. You’re the rightful king, of your fallen empire. So sick of all of your lies, I forgot what you really are. So empty inside. What are you now? You coward, You fucking piece of shit, You liar, You someone I called friend. I hope you rot. I hope you rot in hell. So sick of all of your lies. I forgot what you really are. So empty inside. (x2) You coward, You fucking piece of shit, You liar, You someone I called friend. And you will never be forgiven. My so called friend, someone I should trust. And I am so happy you`ve betrayed me. At least I now know what you're worth. My so called friend, someone I should trust. You`ll never be more than my depressing memory (x2) Remember! This was all you could get. You`ve destroyed your own future with me. You coward, You fucking piece of shit, You liar, You someone I called friend. I hope you rot. I hope you burn in hell. Fuck you and burn in hell. Well I`m so happy now. My life went on and on. I have found solace on my own. Forever I disclose you. You`ll never be more than my so called friend. (x2) You`ll never be more. My so called friend I hope you rot forever. My so called friend burn in hell. (x2)

My dearest, you're the fundament of what I became. You have made me, you`ve carved me out of stone. I was ignorant and I was alone. You filled my emptiness and I thank you. I don't think I could have been who I am today, if this was not for your sake. I truly love you and appreciate you for who you are. I truly miss you, when I feel that you are not around. And when I need you, I know that you think of me. I know you are there for me, when I leave you to be. {You are my perfection. And all good I know is your reflection.} (x2) My place I have found. It is next to you. And all I`ll do is serve to you. Making you happy is all I`d ever wish Seeing you smile makes me forget my sins Such as the depth of seas, which cannot be ignored. The depths of my heart cannot be explored. I was ignorant and I was alone. You filled my emptiness and I thank you. I don't think I could have been who I am today if this was not for your sake. And I will go wherever you want me to go. I will do whatever you want me to do. I will go wherever you want me I`ll go. My feelings are stronger than you can even imagine. Yours, sincerely I am forever and ever. (x4)

The weight of this world is resting on my shoulders. And I don’t know if I want to hold on. What will happen if I ever scatter. Will I be noticed and do I even matter? I seem to be nothing, just another grain of sand. I`m just another example of man. When I'm gone, people won`t care. And this is a truth that I can`t bare. What is the point of my legacy, no one remembers me. For I am nothing. My life is not worth living, for I am nothing I have nothing to care about. I need someone to confront me, so I realise that I am not unreal. `Cause how do you know that you are someone, if you`ve got nothing to feel. Please, be the ground on which I can fall when I decide to jump. I need to have some kind of certainty, I need you to be there for me. You are my anchor. You are the only reason that I am around. Be my senses Be my mind Be my eyes So I am no longer blind. Please, be the ground on which I can fall when I decide to jump. I need to have some kind of certainty, I need you. (2x)

My life was in front of me, had so many opportunities. And I thought I`d made the best of it. Carried my faults with me, together with responsibility. This path I`ve walked, it has made me. Into who I am today. My choices they formed me. Looking back at my past I wonder what could have been. Because so often, I was mistaken. Letting go my past and my faults. I`m consciously living in the here and now. Never again, I will relive my past. I`ll make my future into all that is left. So now I'm looking forward, I focus on what will happen. I find myself, in the future that is yet to come. I`m gathering all the pieces, put them together and call it my life. From now on, I will be my own creation. I'll be built, by chances that I have grasped. And I will be, so proud of who I am that day. I will be so proud. Letting go my past and my faults. I`m consciously living in the here and now. Never again, I will relive my past. I`ll make my future into all that is left. I will be so proud, of who I will be that day. I am free, I make my own choices. No one can stop me.

I sometimes stop, to take a look at everything around me. And then I see the misery of this world. Because how can it be, that man became so violent. What is the point of caring, when we`re all estranged. All the news I hear is about blood, murder and despair. And all I see is people, too blunt to care. Naivety surrounds me, the truth might be hard to bare. Still we act like it's fine, still we've got our welfare. Fuck our luxury and go to hell with our society. We all use an adjusted reality. And there is no justice, there is just us. After all, we just look at us. We should all bond together so we march as one. For when we stand together we cannot be overcome. The time has come for us to make a major change. The time has come to stop leaving things to be. Fuck our luxury and go to hell with our society. We all use an adjusted reality. And there is no justice, there is just us. After all, we just look at us. Fuck our luxury and go to hell with our society. (2x) We should all bond together so we march as one. We must all bond together so we march as one.
