AVERSED LYRICS

1. Prison of Existence

Waves of gelatinous fat hit my face as I slither down the walls of the gargantuan beast.
The acid burns my skin and devours all sense of hope left within me.
Countless hours of searching for new life deemed worthless as I crawl into the belly of the whale.

One thousand screams ring through my ears.
I've betrayed myself.

Betrayer, this time you've gone too far.
Abuser. Perpetrator.
This ends right here.

Living by injustice, crawling back into my hollow shell where all my dreams cry out:
"I cannot hold this in, thoughts bring me closer to my perfect world where this repression leaves me to die."

How can I survive this hell forging our existence?
Taking all that who I am!

Waves of rotten air asphyxiate my decaying lungs. I can almost see the end it tortures my very dying soul: flames engulfing, acid swarming, my body writhes into this pit, I'm slowly drowning. This repression leaves me to die.

How can I survive this hell forging our existence?
Taking all that who I am!

No more condemnation. No!

Open your mind you've been subjected to mind control.
Take away what blinds your eyes and keeps you weak.
Search within your soul and your consciousness.
Make this last attempt to feel the most real.

[Solo: Jeong]

Trapped inside this prison of existence.

[Solo: Marchand]

No! I've fallen deep inside of what should have never came to be.
No.

2. Renewal

In the deepest depths of my dreams
I come to realize these empty fears keep myself breathing life.
In this life that we are given every moment counts.

Join me in this journey.
No longer will we listen.
Time's too short to let this wash away.
How quickly we forget these insignificant worries do nothing but paralyze our hopes and dreams.

Searching myself, I start to see through childlike perceptions.
We hide ourselves from our own reality.
Longing to find a sense of true self.
This is who I am; no compromise shall be met.

There is no more self-betrayal, unresponsive anguish.
Life's too short to let this wash away.

Years have turned to waste, these self-inflicted wounds.
Seeks renewal of a new life found ahead.
Time to forget all the pain suppressed.
Our fire will not burn out.

Searching myself, I start to see through child-like perceptions.
We hide ourselves from our own reality.
Longing to find a sense of true self.
This is who I am; these dreams will not be washed away.

[Solo: Marchand]

This is my life. There's no more compromise.
This is my life. No one shall put me down.
This is my life. There's no compromise.
I've had enough so give up your naysaying judging slander.

I will fall a thousand times to get up stronger than I ever was before.
This is my own sweat and blood.
You can't take what I have built upon myself.
I will fall a thousand times to get up stronger than I ever was before.
This is my own strength and blood.
You can't take what I have built upon myself.

[Solo: Jeong]

Repression. Suffering. Resilience.
A chance for renewal.

Searching myself, I start to see through childlike perceptions.
We hide ourselves from our own reality.
Longing to find a sense of true self.
This is who I am; no compromise shall be met.

3. Living Denial

Can a life lacking passion still be called life
When we exist to dictate something greater than ourselves?
Spreading your ignorance. Spreading your apathy.
There is so much more, yet you close off your mind.

I can see through all your bullshit: promoting against what we love.
This ends right here. This ends right now.

I see you; I hear you grinding underneath my skull.
I feel you; I fear you deceiving all the world.
I see you; I hear you gutting out my lungs.
I see you.

Ignoring the truth. Ignoring this fate.
A shallow philosophy. A living denial.
I refuse to live someone else's life but my own.
We stand tonight, our hearts enflamed, challenging all the things that silenced us.
No more will you lead this life.

Such a big denial: killing every thought I have.
Resorting to violence, I will hold on to what I have.
Keep lying to yourself that I have failed.
I will never lose sight of which means more to me.
Fighting day by day just to see that you have fallen,
Every voice that I say will be heard today.

Open your eyes; you're fed only lies.
Open your eyes; never will I compromise.
Spreading your ignorance. Cancerous ways!
Your words are empty there's no more deception.

Living denial it grips you down; haunting your dreams as you face your reality.
Living denial it grips you down; eternal deception only brings you toward
Facing your fears: conquering death.
Staying in this realm leaves yourself imprisoned.
How long will you leave this dead horse rotting?
This pungent stench leaves my nostrils putrefied.

Living denial grips you down;
Haunting your dreams as you face your reality.

4. Sorrowful Eyes

Always climbing up this ladder as it decays.
I see myself slipping into this again.
Always accepting defeat to find your soul crumbling apart.
Silence only blurs into this pain.

Run away from the pain consuming your identity.
Deep down, far within, you have only fooled yourself.
Run away from the pain, no more will you feel this way.
Rejection. Denial. No longer will this pain outlast.

Get rid of the veil that cover your eyes.

Once more you lead this life of selfishness and apathy. I know who you are.
You are so much better than this and I can see behind your sorrowful eyes.
You are who you are.

Self-mutilation.
No option seems to heal these wounds:
betrayed and torn apart, broken by silence, surrendered astray.

Run away from the pain, their judgment is not who you are.
Deep down, far within, it's better being true at heart.
Run away from the pain, no more will you feel this way.
Reflection. Serenity. We are here to break you free.

Once more you lead this life of selfishness and apathy. I know who you are.
You are so much better than this and I can see behind your sorrowful eyes.
You are who you are.

I see myself slipping again all the way down.
I see myself falling again, but I'll find a way.

[Solo: Jeong]
[Solo: Marchand]

Once more you lead this life of selfishness and apathy. I know who you are.
I know who you are.

5. Aversion

All this horror. All this pain.
All these things they caused to feed their hunger.
Their demise. Their retribution.
We'll take them to the place where they belong!

We will overcome their sickening ways and abandon these corrupted laws.
Until we take what was ours we will not tolerate again.

This is the time to join together as one.
Rise; break free!
This is the time to heal these broken hearts.
Hatred lies eternally.

[Solo: Marchand]

Kiss your throne goodbye. Your control ends right here.
Anger and misery have made us stronger.
Don't try to escape, for we know your every move.
We are your source of self-destruction.

This is the time to join together as one to destroy this tyrant King.
We shall not have the death of the innocents be in vain.

This war has just broken out! Make way through the kingdom!
The only thing that will heal our wounds is the sound of your endless cries.
This war has just broken out and made its way through the kingdom.
The only thing that will heal our wounds is the sound (of your endless cries).

Your reign of terror will cease to exist for all the suffered under your hand.
I will witness your final hour. These are the last words before you cower.

[Solo: Marchand]
[Solo: Epstein]
[Solo: Marchand]

Retribution.
Annihilation.
No more!

This is your destiny. This is your fate.
This is the place where you cannot escape.
There is no place where your spite is unavoidable.
Don't let that thought cross your fucking mind.

Wicked tyrant.
Bringer of lies.
