Inhale

You can't suffocate me

'Cause I will inhale more than you know

Keep trying to pacify

And feed the demon inside

 

The hunger and lust exist

For a reason beyond the truth

Products of a paradigm shift

Creation of the untameable beast

This darkness can never lift

But the soul is content with this

Fact that terrifies its most devoted

 

Chain the monster

Tame the hunger

But never let go

 

Try to define the fine lines of your mind

More is the only answer this time

A guarantee to never return

Maybe no one will ever learn

If we can't change, then who will?

Destiny has always been to kill

Whose shame is it anyway?

 

Burn your inside

Fade the fine lines

Die this time
