THE ARCANUM EFFECT LYRICS

1. Divination

I've left a trail back home
In case that I were lost
I left the path unknown
To save me from your cause
You can't keep the truth from me anymore
I'm never going back,
I swear I covered my tracks
There's gotta be something more
Than what you've shown me
You always have something up your sleeve but that won't work with me
The cards have fallen and your fate is sealed
I see everything,
I see you staring back at me
I feel everything,
I feel you breathing down on me
I'm never going back,
I swear I covered my tracks
It's time to fucking parTAE!
You think you've got me
But you never had grasp at all
You think you're something
Yet i know one day we'll see you fall
I'm gunning straight for you
Coming straight for you
Shot heard around the world
What the fuck you gonna do?
There's nothing worse than living a lie
You're living a lie.

2. Thrones

I've seen these symbols all along
Absorbing them all in
They never told me what they're for
But I think I have a hint
Tracing patterns I've seen so many times
Fall to your knees
Worshiping idols
This has become your faith
You don't realize it
They've built up monarchies
Untouchable, and out of reach
Sitting on thrones,
They've made themselves kings
Subdue the masses
Herd the sheep
We've laid ourselves in bed with thieves
Hiding in plain sight
Yet remaining unseen
But I can see you now
And through the imagery
You cannot hide from me
I've been illuminated
Tracing patterns that I've seen so many times
Fall!
My eyes are now weary
I forge symbols of my own
Untouchable, and out of reach
Sitting on thrones,
They've made themselves kings
Untouchable, and out of reach
Taking their thrones,
We've made ourselves king
Like vultures circling the skies
They pick at your bones and tear your eyes
Hoping to make you blind
So they can feed on your insides.

3. On Pins And Needles

I can feel it
Something's wrong here
The heavy air foreboding
So thick I cannot breath
I can feel it
Something's wrong here
Everything is awry
I can't stop the sinking
I cannot stay afloat
I'm drowning
Despair filling my lungs
Drowning, sinking deeper
I tell myself "this is just temporary"
Oh God this shows how weak I am
This is all in my head
Oh God, this shows just how weak I am
Stop, inhale exhale, repeat
Stop, inhale exhale, repeat
Despair filling my lungs
Drowning, sinking deeper
I tell myself "this is just temporary"
Oh God this shows how weak I am
This is all in my head
I'm sinking deeper
Don't let go
Oh God, get a grip
Man up!

4. Children Of Kronos

All my life I've tried to do good
I looked up to you 'till the moment you betrayed your words
How does it feel?
Do you feel anything?
You only act for yourself
I don't know who you think you are
Try and walk away
Like you always do
You cannot outrun what's coming for you
I will see your end
I will be your end
No mercy
No remorse
No poor excuses anymore
No mercy
No remorse
Try and walk away
Like you always do
You cannot outrun what's coming for you
I will see your end
I will be your end
No mercy
No remorse
No more excuses
You fucking failure.

5. Mephistopheles

You say that I'm not me anymore
That you hate what I've become
I have withered in shallow graves
Searching through familiar bodies
Hoping to find that boy you lost
But I am nowhere to be found
Some things you can't take back
Some things I can't forget
What's left of me is just an echo
I am only a ghost
A shadow of my former self
Haunting you with old memories
When I was someone else
You can't love a monster
A wreck like me
You can't love a monster
The devil in me
You say it's not all your fault
That I too have made mistakes
Its much easier to hold a grudge
If I keep saying you're to blame
I am only a ghost
A shadow of my former self
Haunting you with old memories
When I was someone else
And I am a ghost,
A shadow of my former self
Filling these old passage ways
I'm only a ghost
I am a monster
I am a beast
I am a monster
I am a fiend.

6. Fractures

My heart is an anchor
Weighing me down to the ocean floor
Like bones once broken,
My heart is now denser
Nothing seems to hurt anymore
But I don't feel invincible
Rather be invisible
I would like to feel again
Vulnerable to end
Fractures are all that's left
I can't stand to be alone with my own thoughts
My doubts are speaking louder
Yelling within my ears
Echoing my detractors
"You'll be never good enough"
And in my self defense,
I tell myself that it's ok
That I'm just waiting for the world to change
I don't feel invincible
I'd rather be invisible
I would like to feel again
Vulnerable to end
Fractures are all that's left
Like bones once broken
My heart's now denser
Fractures are all that's left of me
Fractures are all that's left
Oh what of the mess I've made?
All I want is forgiveness for my sins
Oh what of the mess I've made?
