Chemical Carnival (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: Shrine - 2022)

Addiction is clawing at my reality
Manipulation, I am the moth to the flame

Medicated, pouring somewhere south of where I should be
In the end I'm screaming let me out, only to deceive

The freedom not to feed this disease
But the cycles repeat
I fail to see

My will is breaking
My moral stance is fading
Absolve the guilt
Baptised in dissonance
My fate is wavering
The sun in the sky holds no mercy for me
Lying in the shadows of my ruin

This burden tears a hole in me
I fail to see

We walk to the edge
At the point of no return
We chase the sun
Into the unknown
We burn bright
I am the moth to the flame

We pull the truth through smoke and mirrors
I can't continue down this road no more
We're ripping the seams of insanity
I lie awake, is this reality?

Forever swaying to the rhythm of the ignorant
Is this my reality?

Medicated, pouring somewhere south of where I should be
In the end I'm screaming let me out, only to deceive

The cycles repeat and
I fail to see the truth
In this chemical carnival

We walk to the edge
At the point of no return
We chase the sun
Into the unknown
We burn bright
I am the moth to the flame

The freedom not to feed this disease
But the cycles repeat
Into the unknown

Forever swaying to the rhythm of the ignorant
