Hollow Prison

(album: Absolvere - 2021)

Hollow prison

Succumb to the disconnect
Destined to be silenced
A perpetual state of deception
Disguised hysteria imprisoning
Eternally bound to this hollow prison

Guided with such vast uncertainty
Sons of sin cycle in repetition
As daughters of damnation die
Leaving their shrill left unanswered
Born into slavery, growing to our shallow graves
Wasted roots of humanity, decaying away like our sanity

Ignorance divides us though we are bound by regret
Stripped of hope, stranded with madness
An omnipotent deception to be buried in the dirt

I feel the weight of the world pressing down my shoulders
I'm feeling blue, seeing red, voices in my head
Find inner peace before I'm fucking dead
Screaming inside, ice cold on the outside
Trapped in a hollow shell
I will find the key, find the energy
Find inner peace, control my destiny

Cleanse this darkness
Bless us with your benevolent touch
Cursed at birth, lift this limitless sentence
This hollow prison

Forsaken to the walls of my deranged mortal shell
Bleak; the birth right of humanity
Suppressing the beast
Sentenced to this hollow prison

Guided with such vast uncertainty
Sons of sin cycle in repetition
As daughters of damnation die
Leaving their shrill left unanswered
We are born into slavery, growing to our shallow graves
Wasted roots of humanity, decaying away like our sanity

Ignorance divides us though we are bound by regret
Stripped of hope, stranded with madness
An omnipotent deception to be buried in the dirt
