"PARADOX" lyrics

Tear off my skin, rip it off
I feel the tension, I feel it crawl
A thousand lives in a single soul
Split by duality's pull
An eternal curse

Dissociating, slipping back into the void
Consciousness is fading rationally paranoid
(Consciousness is fading rationally paranoid)

This weight I carry
In this life and afterlife
Empires buried
Under cryptic sands of time
And I lost myself to finally find
In death we live, through life we die

Caught in a paradox
Caught in a paradox
Caught in a paradox

In the chaos I find peace on emptiness I feed
Insecurities flooding my brain
Normalizing feeding the pain
Inherited trauma to my DNA
And I'm taking advice from the demon in me
Suffocate in the ways that I perceive
Hate what I love and I love what I hate
Beginning to drain my ethereal energy
Make all the past burn away
Just let my body decay
The closer to the light I blackout (Blackout)
The more control I gain, I crash out, crash out

This weight I carry
In this life and afterlife
Empires buried
Under cryptic sands of time
And I lost myself to finally find
In death we live, through life we die

Caught in a paradox
Caught in a paradox
Caught in a paradox

I'll break the world long before it breaks me
Tear me apart, no casket can case me
I'll break the world long before it breaks me
Beyond the veil and back again

We're back
Summon the reckoning
Bring me out
Take a knife to my ego, it's a lie, it's a lie
Bring me out
Take a knife to my ego, make it tight, make it tight

This weight I carry
In this life and afterlife
Empires buried
Under cryptic sands of time
And I lost myself to finally find (Finally find)
In death we live, through life we die

Caught in a paradox
Caught in a paradox (Caught in a paradox)
Caught in a paradox (Lost myself to find)
In death we live, through life we die
Paradox
