Lyrics

Merciless Reflection

The voice in my head

Becomes way too much

Going round in barbaric

Cycles second guessing

My luck aversion and disgust

You cannot write this nightmare

I'm not your holy one

Nail me to the fucking cross

The voice in my head

Becomes way too much

You cannot write this nightmare

Aversion and disgust

Salvation still awaits me

I've forgotten what I'm even searching for

Relentless rumination

Endless stagnation

Redemption is no guarantee

Just the echoes of what was before

Why obey the sins of the vile?

Virtue is the blade of denial

I have preached on the thrones of lies

I'll walk free when the falsehood dies

Faith deals no favours

All those years my chase begun

The truth aflame no place to fucking run

Faith deals no favours anymore

Banished from the Heaven's gate

I have been moulded into

Nothing but a big mistake

I will not be found in Heaven

No prayer no comfort

I was dying just to be saved

Merciless reflection

Of a vacant vessel

Going round in circles

This failure monumental

Merciless reflection

Of a vacant vessel

My barbaric cycles

I climb to only crumble

Back and forth I struggle

Exist to be forgotten

This disorder seeking me

The mind a putrid place

It's devoured my body

My soul has finally found me

Just an easy target

It swings again and again

Merciless

Merciless reflection

Of a vacant vessel
