Existence Ensnared

(album: Magno Interitus - 2022)

You're trapped in this race
A grim reality that you won't face
Even if you win, you're still a rat
Do you really wanna die like that?
A constant struggle that you'll never escape
As long as you are willingly caged
Even if you win, you're still a rat
Do you really wanna die like that?

Let me burn bright before I fade away
Brighter than the false light, I'll gnaw through bone to make my escape
I'll spill my truth with both blood and pen
I refuse to ever be like them

I refuse to be like them

I'm ready to die and you're still afraid to try
We are not the same kind
No one gets out of this world alive
So I'd rather die than live a life that isn't mine
We are all heading the same way
I'll never fall in line just to save face
I'd rather carve my own path
I'd rather dig my own grave

You're trapped in this race
A grim reality that you won't face
Even if you win, you're still a rat
Do you really wanna die like that?
A constant struggle that you'll never escape
As long as you are willingly caged
Even if you win, you're still a rat
Do you really wanna die like that?

Do you really wanna die like this?
Do you think this is all there is?

I might be making my own death bed
But I'll always know where to lay my head
I might be making my own death bed
But I refuse to breathe another breath of regret
