Infiltrate 04:49
I am everything you want I'm everything you see I'm everything you know I am everything No need to feel ashamed of yourself Swallow your pride and hold your breath until the end You want to free the world from its disease Be a saviour In fact you are the pain to be eased Everything you touch ends up turning into tragedy Inflicting pain deep inside of me I am everything you want and I am everything you see Will there be a cure for aspiration And you might think It comes in handy knowing everyone‘s private data from beginning to the end Time is passing by But you‘re not about to turn your back on me You think you‘ll turn to gods someday While resting your eyes on me I am everything I am everyone you know I am everything I am everyone you asked for I am everything I am I am everything I am everyone you know What would you do if you felt treated like machinery Your eyes refuse to see the world as living entity Breathing heavily You stare and watch me crying desperately Frustrating suffocating in the glare of your apathy You‘re a human being like me I know you can hear me I know you can see me revolt against your so called security You see the devil in every single person without contemplating Innocence What scares me somehow, is what cradles the black in your eyes No one can explain the way you vindicate your mind escaping arrogance you‘re still so proud of Enjoying battering the rights of mankind Friendship will leave a hole inside your head Friendship will leave a hole inside your head I know you want the "best" for me But you chose profit over privacy You chose profit over privacy But you chose profit over god damn privacy This is my wakeup call Turn off the cameras I don‘t need them anymore The paranoia represents the misleading lack of my ambitions But I‘m scared, yeah I‘m so scared to reveal what‘s moving around in my head This deprivation has started to become a part of me Violently this aggression started to take control of my mind And you still lie to me Taking advantage of all of my habits Still drawing profit under the pretence of keeping me safe I am everything you want I am everything you see I am everything you know I am everything

You spread your words like a disease, I can‘t even count them / the lies Convincing me to understand you had no choice You are even more alone than you think Still pretending you‘ll be happy this way You need to get yourself out of this mess You‘re still alive but it must feel like death When you hear no sound When you can‘t hear me screaming, yelling, crying You‘re a fucking disgrace When memory is poison And ignorance is bliss You managed to become my burden Overwhelming me I tried so hard to communicate But I never got anything back in return And how I feel cheated Disgusted by your incapability of making friends at all Oh you‘re still wasting time I will never forget what you have done to me as you injured my pride You have your fingers crossed behind your back Still trying to hide behind your masquerade You make me disappear Behind your blinding light so I give in Accepting, knowing that I will regret again And I watch from the other side And I could be the one who‘s torn apart And I can‘t help myself but give in to the arguments that keep me safe in here I layed my guns to the ground Cannot escape their sound With all those lies around I hate you in a way I can‘t explain For all these years I accepted this pain Why are you so unthoughtful to the ones you‘re supposed to love I layed my guns to the ground Cannot escape their deafening sound And I watch from the other side And I could be the one who‘s torn apart And I can‘t help myself but give in to the arguments that keep me safe in here

It didn't even feel like we were saints But we were never saints But we always said that we were free from the sound of the masses We see your problem but it doesn't matter for prevention from the heat of the madness You'll see there's a psychopath inside but we didn't even mind that We're the poison for your goodness The first time you will lose control but you'll never be alone Just feel embraced by our violence You are just one of a kind You didn't know but I‘m the one you can trust But every breath you take is filling my lungs with dust If I finally think that you're just a fake Oh keep in mind that I‘m just fucking disappointed in you How dare you? How could you resist? We warned you You praised our savior How could you escape from this hell, from this place? Oh, this rage will be my sickness You'll just walk alone So you'll never be part of the living nightmare What would you ask if the last thing you can see is me Drowning in hate against you Reset your state of mind, accept that you are just the shame of our kind You can dig a hole to bury yourself in your fucking ignorance And I thought that I will break upon your knees But I can feel your teeth in me You‘re feasting on my bones, let them corrode so you can rip me up You have to leave this place cause everything you say ain't nothing to me God damn I hate you You'll just walk alone So you'll never be part of the living nightmare What would you ask if the last thing you can see is me drowning in hate against you Reset your state of mind, accept that you are just the shame of our kind You can dig a hole to bury yourself in your fucking ignorance I am losing control Prepare for our madness I cannot believe this God damn You are a disaster Oh this is the kind of vision that you all have been waiting for So keep on waiting Oh please stay awake and just keep on watching me while I'm sleeping in bliss You'll never be alone You are just one of a kind Hey! We are still in here With everything you hate With everything you need Hey! We are still in here With everything you needed Maybe you're the one who can defeat us But you cried an ocean between us Remember you're the one to blame Cause everything you say is driving me insane You are just as scared as me But I'm not a millionaire, cannot finance your reality But you don‘t know that you‘re haunting me with your shadow that imitates You fooled me when you said that you belonged to me

Don't tell me that I've been wrong I don't need your advice It feels like being exiled And all my thoughts got pushed aside No I don't want to move backwards No I don't want to be the one I always tried to be This will end soon This will be the last day in this place I reached for the end and it became my nightmare I reached for the end and it became my dream And I keep summoning my own demon that makes me hit the surface that makes me feel the water pouring into my lungs I've lost count of all the retries But I stay focused on the hindsight Instead of taking my time and moving forward Haunt Cause I'm not innocent Shame Cause I haven't had an hour to spend I thought I can fight procastination That leads me into isolation You're not the one who allowed me to speak But you make me float away from reality While becoming my singularity Oh I'll never reach an end Cause it looks incomplete Cause I was focused on the wrong things I can't feel the most And if I get this out of me And if I lose my family I will be lost forever I reached for the end and it became my dream It's hard to show strength due to the fact that I feel weak That it's myself tightening the noose around my neck Making me unable to speak I truly was about to concentrate But that spirit left me quickly So let the flames embrace the front page And let the scissors do the rest And in the end I need to start from scratch While we both coexist And even if I try to begin I'll be confronted with a new burden But I keep working on and I will be the one who keeps the clockwork running I am what I am I can't feel the most And if I get this out of me And if I lose my family I will be lost forever

I grew up, I broke down, I lived life for you I stand up, I break down, I give up for you And there is one thing I'm finally sure of I gave my courage away cause I am done with it I miss the warmth that I had before I decided to break the routine It feels like the rain got under my skin From now on it seems I have to live with this In my dreams I killed the ones I always wanted to blame I realized I have a stronger enemy I can make my own decisions Why can't you understand That you deserve more than I can give to you I know I swore to never let you down I'm so sorry for not being by your side Maybe it seems safe in here but everything is starting to change unless you go away Maybe she'll find her sleep but everything is losing its grace unless you go away And when the night sets in I'm sure I'll get some sleep I must convince myself, pretend to be ok And at the end of the day I'll end up in this waste Until the morning melts my skin! And finally I know, I am the one to blame And for the ones I love, I'll never be the same And begging on my knees, "let her forget my sins" Screaming up to the sky "give me another chance" You desire it, you want it, you love it, you get it, you need it Everything relies on mistakes I have done to myself As I lied to myself when everyone in this room stared at me The only thing I want to do is breathing, eating, living The life I was supposed to live before everything crashed down on me I have to survive the night But I hit the bottle just to fall asleep again They guaranteed I would never ever be alone I can't remember if I ever felt abandoned like this I would never be alone I can't believe another word they say Let me slip away in melancholy When everything goes its way And everyone fades away I need to get myself out of this mess I made Maybe it seems safe in here but everything is starting to change unless you go away Maybe she'll find her sleep cause everything is losing its grace unless you go away Maybe it seems safe in here but everything is starting to change unless you go away Maybe she'll find her sleep unless you go away I try to build a home until they take it from me When they locked the door there was no need to be sincere Can't you feel my heart bleeding when they push me away This place will never be the same
