There’s nothing left to say, it’s done
This world has finally had enough
Pack up all your things, let's go
We're running out of time
We're running for our lives
Don't you cry
I can't seem to find the words to tell you why
We'll be fine
I never thought I'd be afraid to die
I can't believe that everything and everyone is gone
Don't tell me it's hard to go on, ‘cause I know
They've made it clear we've got to move on, so let's go
There, amidst the stars, we'll be so far away from this catastrophe
I will find a way, we'll be so far away from death and the disease
Don't look back, it's never going to change the past
Forget about the ones we loved and the ones we lost
Just forget about them all

The sun sets in the valley
The moon caresses the sky
This should have been picture perfect
Stop time; play this moment
It isn’t very funny how the light drains from your face
You will never wake
So that’s my fate?
I was too late
The doors burst open, they’re taking her away
Goodbyes are for the privileged
I never got to say goodnight, my sun and moon
I’m coming soon
Dear darling, I’ve become a part of you now
Our love transcends this time and space
I’ll find you hidden in the stars
You are my heart

Cold: the way she feels inside
Underneath my skin, she hides
I'll lie with her tonight underneath a darkened sky
Dead; I've got to bury her underneath happier times
This feels all wrong; I won't move on
I cannot face this empty space
Time: I watch it slip away
They all tell me it’s okay
Oh, I think I'd rather stay
They all say it's not the way
Tear from hands that grip me tight
They don't want to let me go
There's something wrong: now that you're gone
Your pretty face has been erased
I can't see that smile or those gorgeous eyes
I just want to die
You were the one; it's all but done
I've gone back over and over, but you're still lost
I'm trying and trying to pull you close; it's killing me killing me
You're a ghost; nothing left to see
(Finally)

Waste my time
I don't mind leaving you behind
Cried all night, but I know I'll be alright
Cold but not alone; you’re free
You were meant to be here by my side; we tried
I know I said that this would take some time; I lied
You're off my mind
I’ve said goodbye
I'm still broken but I won’t admit that this is love
You’ve turned me off
This has to stop

Wake up, we’re lost!
Wake up!
Sit still
Sleep well
God, why this? I’ve suffered through enough shit
End me, I’m begging
Please kill me
Screaming and crying, I fight with this restlessness
Wheezing and coughing, there's not much hope left for us

Treading water
Bloodless slaughter
It’s time (You’re mine)
I feel this aching sorrow
Prayed there’d be no tomorrow
There’s not much left inside me
Will this way change how I see?
Step carefully
Trust grudgingly
No, you can’t be here!
You’ve got to go
My mind is gone, I’ve lost my hold
You should’ve stayed six feet below
I can feel this savage essence welling up inside me
It’s begging for release
I’ll make this right; you will die
Wrapping my hands round your neck
(Please, you’re killing me)
I’m only doing what’s best
(It’s hypocrisy)
I don’t care
(You can’t go back)
I’m already there
There’s nothing
There’s nothing left
It’s over
It’s over with
I won’t let this define me
I swear I’ll make it right
I’ll chain these thoughts that bind me
I’m coming home tonight
This life has kept me kneeling, now it’s my time to stand
I’m on my way
Farewell my world

Farewell My World
04:27

Contained within the confines of a madman’s mind
I’ve been awakened
Dead or living; I need to know the truth of this
Tell me, where am I now?
“Home, but far beneath the trees
Away from our disease
We’re all perfectly safe
Let me elaborate
Mother was sick and crying
Millions of children dying
This world was out of time
We had to realign
We scorched the earth
(We cleansed the surface)
The wealthiest of man secured survival plans
The rest of those who ran?
Dispatched to free up land”
Murder these fucking monsters
Destroy everything by hand
They don't deserve to prosper
Raise hell and let them be damned
I've seen clearly, they'll pay dearly
Your time has come
You'll be undone
You cannot run
I've made haste; sealed your fate
Slow down and let me ease your wonder
Breathe out, I wanna watch you crumble
You know it’s been a long time coming
Our hearts, our minds, they will decay
But our souls remain
My life, my death, won’t be in vain
Our hearts, our minds
They’re all the same

The Disease
06:20

Well do you think that I'm the cure?
A panacea for the weak, the broken, the lost?
Or do you think I'm the disease?
An acid specter dealing death for low, low cost!
Well this is it now, the end of your era
I must admit that I feel no remorse
This rampant infection I've seeded among you devours your flesh
Now watch as I swallow your bones
I smile as you cry in fear
I swear that I won't leave a trace
Humanity's already rotten, I'm the answer to all your disgrace
Your mistake was in thinking you're special, but truth is you're overgrown rats
The hammer of justice has fallen; your populace has to face facts
You’ve all reached your collective twilight; in time I will leave you as ghosts
You strike at me bravely and blindly, but I promise you'll suffer the most
As your huddled masses struggle for their last gulps of air
As you clutch your loved ones in fear hoping you will last through the night
I want you to understand that there is no quarantine or barricade that can hold me
I will be the beast that kills you; I am the one to snuff you out
I am unforgiving
There's a madness to my methods
Saints and sinners -I will finish them both
Tinker tailor; soldier sailor
I'll punish them all
Be wise and relinquish your hope
Salvation?
I am saved!
Am I the cure for your disease?
Your fucking parasitic life was fueled by greed
This world that gave you all you'd need; you watched her bleed
So tell me now, am I the cure or the disease?
