"Torture World" lyrics

"Torture World"
(feat. CJ McMahon)

Maleficence and compassion
Pain and success
You've teased these in excess
Empty promises fill an empty vessel
Beg to be accepted
Born to be rejected

Will it shape me?
Prisoner of consciousness
Can I break free?
Ever present dominance

Chains are locked
Dreams are crushed
The beauty in those whose lives we seek
Is something to you and nothing to me

So betray, so betray me
Cast aside by a fractured life
So betray, so betray me
Doomed to return to this torture world

Will it take me?
Torn apart by emptiness
Cam I break free?
Suffering in silence
Chains are locked
Dreams are crushed
The beauty in those whose lives we seek
Is something to you and nothing to me

So betray, so betray me
Cast aside by a fractured life
So betray, so betray me
Doomed to return to this torture world

The illusion of choice
The lies that were told
It all feeds the nothing
That eats at our soul

Lifetimes of endless suffering
Almighty hammer of deception
Crushes all who question destiny
We have earned every inch of our agony

Fucking failures

Each breath but a barren action
Fading futures fall to the bottomless pit
Entombed in eternal cycles
Torture world
All souls submit

So betray, so betray me
Cast aside by a fractured life
So betray, so betray me
Doomed to return to this torture world
