lyrics:


Spinning

In my mind

Just like the earth the rotation never stops

I feel consumed

Inside my head

Forever haunted by the things that it said

Echoes

In my heart

It's dancing ruthless

Got no rhythm or rhyme

There are no breaks

In this old train

Chugging endlessly like time on a string


Love

Is like the candy-coated complicated peace

That learns to hide behind our eyes


Keep shouting at the darkness

'Cause you're the only reason it stays

You know 

It's only gonna hurt us

Lest we fear and welcome it

Inside the home that we break

And still it keeps me awake

I'll let it end for our sake

So snuff it out you gotta conquer your mind


My thoughts

Are hidebound

I heard a scream but nobody was around

Just my own breath

Through frozen air

Too troubled by your inconvenience to care

Your drug

And your help

You've got the same god as everybody else

Still I complain

About the ordinary

But hell it's all I've ever wanted to be


Life

Is like the perfect dreams of everybody else

But I just keep on waking up


I can’t keep falling backwards

Through everything they told me before

On par with all the angels

Still no mercy with the endless game

And make it a chore

To fight myself evermore

The present leaving me worn

Because the future is a slave to the past


Life can’t be taught

It can only exist

Through the lens of your perception

That hides your soul behind your sins


Succumb

(You can't keep wasting your time)

To the pills

(Get your head back in line)

That keep you in reality

(Too many ways you could die)

(But only one kind of life, right?)

Under the sheet of my own

(You can't keep wasting your time)

(Get your head back in line)

Domineering disease

(Too many ways you could die)

(But only one kind of life, right?)


If I could only exist

With some control of this drifting

Because I'm only my self-awareness

Dreaming to forever be free

I really liked this composition.

This is honestly amazing

this sound choice is really inspired, it makes me think about who your influences are

ArtificialParadise responds:

I honestly can't recall what specifically inspired this sound. But when I originally made this song, (7-8 years ago) I was big into industrial music. Definitely listened to a lot of NIN and Death Grips during that time lmao
