House of the Broken

I thought Church was a congregation
A shelter for all the damned and broken
but when they come calling they are all rejected
that is something that I've never understood
It seems like the lines have blurred
inside your man-made creation
judgment is all you know
but will it help you at the throne?
How can I learn when I am damned from the start?
I don't want any part of this.
I had turned my back on God
with the hand of the wolf around my neck
Gasping for air, I had to find myself
and I can say I did all without your help
I refuse to put my faith in the hands
of a man-made creation crafted to put you above everyone else
how can you call yourselves children of God
with all of the hatred inside your heart
we live inside a dying world
how sure are you that you'll be saved?
I could be wrong about this, I'm not claiming to have the answers
but the impression you left me with is something I can never erase
Rejected
Revived to be denied of nothing
I learned that I don't need your religion
I don't need you to set me free.

Propaganda

There are days where I want to question everything
Open my mind and look at everything from the outside
to get away from all of these bullshit clickbait headlines
to find truth in this unconvincing system
we're in the dawn of a digital age
where everyone's opinion can be praised
we are misguided with tampered footage
we are slaves
with the swipe of a fingertip
lies can be published with an unguilty conscious
and we fall for the trap every single time
our enemy is our ignorance
We are slaves to the corruption of the media
blinded by their agenda ridden propaganda
We are slaves
break free from the chains
and learn to question everything
we fear other countries, races and religions
because of stereotypes that are shoved down our throats
our enemy is our ignorance because
we only know what they want us to hear
take a look at the world around you
watching freedom wasting away
fear and paranoia is what all consume's you
stretching the gap of this division
we can be the generation to put an end to this
put all of our differences aside, open up our eyes
and look at the world around us
We are slaves to the corruption of the media
blinded by their agenda ridden propaganda
agenda ridden propaganda

Reconciliation

Here I am back where I started again
All my hope revolved around you
I can't stand the person I am
So much despair in my life
I can not stand this state of mind
All my thoughts bring another hole
Of which I can never escape
But I have to get this off my chest.
There's so many things I wish I could say
So many things I've said before
When we met I wasn't in the right state of mind.
But I took the ultimate chance
Put all the other bullshit aside.
I was broken, not sure which road to take
But I put myself first, for the first time.
I wish you could have done the same
The looks that were on your face
Told me everything I needed to know
But even after everything that's happened
I wouldn't change a fucking thing
I could see it in your eyes
You needed the answers eating you alive
Following me in my own misery
I could sense that this was the end
I could hear it in the tone of your voice
I could sense that this was the end
It brought back a familiar feeling.
Feels like I'm in a crowded room
But nobody can hear my screams
I've lost control of myself
And the anxiety is taking over me.
The anxiety is taking over me.
I hope you can remember
Exactly what I told you on that day
That I'll always be here if you need me
hold on to that fucking memory
Because this is something I hold on to
I can't help that I still care
I still feel like I fucking failed you
And it's absolutely killing me
The saddest part is that I know that you can not hear me
But I lie awake every night
hoping and praying that you are alright
I've been living in affliction with hopes of reconciliation
I can promise that I won't give up on what you started
But now's my time to achieve what the fuck I've been longing for
Happiness is within reach there's no chance that i'm gonna miss it
I wish I could repay you for showing all these burden are not the end of life.

A seal was formed with the blood of my own,
for I have seen the Truth that pulled us from from our alchemic throne.
My brother is gone and it’s because of my doing.
God please do not take him, I have nothing left.
My brother is gone and it’s because of my doing.
Take my arm, take my leg, take me instead.
A seal was formed with blood of my own,
there is no hope without a philosopher’s stone.
Countless souls swarm beneath the surface.
Sacrificed by corrupt leaders, parasitic feeders.
They lived and thrive only to be slaughtered like cattle.
The enemy isn’t coming for us, it's coming from us The glow of crimson
red in hue, signs the ultimate power, souls cast into the truth.
The glow of crimson red in hue, signs the ultimate power, souls cast into the truth.
Seven sins, seven children, each more deadly than the last.
Father made us in his own image
to lead this land absolute extinction.
absolute extinction
King Xerces saught eternal life
but he was given death instead.
he was given death instead
his greed brought damnation to everyone in his land
Lust for immortality is a tricky thing,
you may not play God without paying the price.
More often than not that price will be your life
Lust for immortality is a tricky thing,
you may not play God without paying the price
A seal was formed with blood of a throne.
Souls of a nation now dwell in a philosopher's stone.
The dwarf saught enternal knowledge
but the brothers had something else in mind
a punishment he would suffer until the end of time
the dwarf saught enternal knowledge
but all he found was the truth
a circle drawn from blood of Xerces
old souls drawn for one last fight
they pulled the souls from his form
bringing hope bringing light
but the battle isn't over
for father has power yet
a brother of steel, and a heart of fullmetal
must be the ones to end this fight
a portal lost for the blood of my own,
one final use for the philosphers stone.

This world seems so magnificent
not tarnished by man creations
translucent light comes through the trees
illuminate my lucid reality
illuminate my lucid reality
I have dreamt this for so long it's become apart of life
this has become my new reality
it's now my claim for existence
I can't explain it I fucking Crave it
I can't explain it I fucking crave it
But Suddenly everything has seemed to change
The leaves have turned to black
A chill starts to run down my spine
Frantically I try to find my escape
But I am trapped no way to awake
dense fog comes from under trees
The light darkens I can narrowly see
An ominous figure appears with a beam of light at his feet
He holds his hand out and says follow me and I'll take you past the trees
something that I've never seemed feasible
I'm enticed by the thought of it
but I hesitate to oblige
the fear of not knowing takes over
but I'm enticed by the thought of it
I still hesitate to oblige
my body goes completely numb
I find myself forced to follow
I have been met with all of my fears
on display like I've never seen before
everything I come here to run from
has me crumbling to my knees
the air in my lungs
begins to disappear
this feeling is so overwhelming
I guess no matter what
my problems still seem to follow
i need my escape
How long will it take
for myself to recover
to live my normal life
how long will it take?
for my mind to accept that this has been fate
this experience has brought me to the realization
that the dark figure following me in my dreams
is pulling me from the edge
to bring me back to reality
