Chimaira - Comatose

Your true definition of me,
Your idea that I'm real.
All of this is an illusion
Even though you can feel.

My touch and my eyes,
They lie and they victimize.
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realize.

I never wanted this world to be better,
I always wanted this world to suffer.
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity,
Give me strength and define me.

A bloodlust!
A bloodlust!
A bloodlust,
It's all I trust!

No more boundaries to cross,
There is nothing uncommon.
Indifferent to the pain I've caused,
This confession means nothing.

My touch and my eyes,
They lie and they victimize.
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realize.

I never wanted this world to be better,
I always wanted this world to suffer.
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity,
Give me strength and define me.

A bloodlust!
A bloodlust!
A bloodlust,
It's all I trust!

This demon cannot be hushed,
These cowards will all be crushed.

No longer will I hide from them,
My ways are set in stone!
Nobody has ever known me,
A life truly spent alone!
Alone! Alone! 

Your true definition of me,
Your idea that I'm real.
All of this is an illusion
Even though you can feel.

My touch and my eyes,
They lie and they victimize.
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through, make you realize.

I never wanted this world to be better,
I always wanted this world to suffer.
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity,
Give me strength and define me.

A bloodlust...

A bloodlust!
A bloodlust!
A bloodlust,
It's all I trust...

I am the constant chill,
I am the versatile one.
I am the constant chill,
I am the versatile one.

I am the God you loved,
I am the addiction.
I am the God you loved,
I am the addiction.

I am inside!

I am the constant chill that
Moves up and down your spine.
I am the versatile one that
Moves in and out your mind (your mind).

I am the dark abyss that
Lurks before your prayers.
I am the Nemesis that
Haunts in your nightmares.
Nightmares!

Nightmares!

You can feel when I am inside!
You know that I control you,
I enslave you, I destroy you
And I leave you comatose!

I am the God you love that
Moves in and out your veins.
I am the addiction that
Buries you in shame.
In shame!

In shame!

You can feel when I am inside!
You know that I control you,
I enslave you, I destroy you
And I leave you comatose!

I've wrapped these chains so tight,
You can't break through.
I've wrapped these chains so tight,
You can't break through.

The smell of fear
Is so enticing, it's so inviting.
There is nothing more that I love (that I love)
Than to tear your apart (tear your apart).

You can feel when I am inside!
You know that I control you,
I enslave you, I destroy you
And I leave you comatose!

I leave you comatose,
Leave you comatose!

Can't sleep with all this

Frustration, intoxication.

I no longer have regret!

So what if I cause hysteria,
It's not my dilemma.
I'm only here to inflict pain!

I will never forgive
The ones who pushed me away.
Like a tumor rage grows inside me,
Reminding me every day.

I will retaliate!

A thorn in my side for eight years,
The man who sheds no tears.
I am here to expose you!

All of the poison that you take,
All people you violate.
Your faith can't save you now!

I will never forgive
The ones who pushed me away.
Like a tumor rage grows inside me,
Reminding me every day.

I will retaliate!
I am your family with the
Power to end everything!
Everything you love (you love)!

You should be...

You should be paranoid!

I guess I no longer share this vision,
I guess I have a new agenda.
While you sink down into your hole,
I am proud watching you lose control.

I will never forgive
The ones who pushed me away.
Like a tumor rage grows inside me,
Reminding me every day.

I will never forgive
The ones who pushed me away.

Reminding me every day.

I am your family with the
Power to end everything!

Everything you want,
Everything you feel,
Everything you need,
Everything you love.

A blank expression,
Pale eyes wide cocked back.
The sheer stagnation,
Shame to all who thought this an act.

The best years of this life
Felt wasted protecting a secret,
Insecurities fed on like a rat.

Depression,
True fears of dependency.
Affliction, the scars on such
A fragile little body.

Look!

Take a look inside the horror,
Take a look inside.
Visualize the horrors inside!

Burning sensation
To live just one day.
In pure elation blame
The ones who took this away.

Can't provide shelter from
The dangers festering outside.
Can't provide safety from
Monsters trapped within the mind.

Depression,
True fears of dependency.
Affliction, the scars on such
A fragile little body.

Look!

Take a look inside the horror,
Take a look inside.
Visualize the horrors inside!

Shake the hand of God
As the blade moves closer.
The reflection is brighter than the sun (the sun),
The perception becomes weaker.

The sun starts to fade away (fade away...),
A blank expression on the blade.
Skin calloused yet easy to pierce,
On the floor blood mixed with tears.

Look!

Take a look inside the horror,
Take a look inside.
Visualize the horrors inside!

Shake the hand of God
As the blade moves closer.
The reflection is brighter than the sun (is brighter than the sun),
The perception becomes weaker.

Weaker!

Lazarus...

Eleven five, ninety-four,
Six thirty, morning:
Woke up panicked, sweating,
With a mouth full of vomit.

No idea what could be wrong,
Blew it off as this illness was common.
Went back to sleep, then the phone rings,
Fell to the ground as the news was haunting.

Haunting...

Lazarus!
Lazarus ended his life,
Ungodly sacrifice.

Lazarus!
Lazarus,
No reason why.

Eleven eight, ninety-four,
Six thirty evening:
The first time we're seeing
Lazarus unconscious.

Dressed in the clothes he loved,
Laid out with all of his favorites.
The tears of so many friends,
Looked around and this view was haunting.

Haunting...

Lazarus!
Lazarus ended his life,
Ungodly sacrifice.

Lazarus!
Lazarus,
No reason why.

Never had an explanation,
Never had a chance to thank him,
Never had a chance to
Watch Lazarus rise.

Never had a chance to thank him,
Never had an explanation,
Never had a chance to say goodbye.

Lazarus!
Lazarus ended his life,
Ungodly sacrifice.

Lazarus!
Lazarus,
No reason why.

Never had a chance
To say goodbye.

Lazarus never had a chance!
Lazarus never had a chance!
To say goodbye!

Greed has caused you
To become a monster.
Greed has caused you
To become so cold.

You said you loved him,
Then you put him away.
"Till death do us part"
Means nothing to you.

Greed has caused you
To betray your family.
Greed has caused you
To become so jaded.

We've got some news for you!
Every dollar you save will cushion
Your pillows in Hell.

You act like we're blind, deaf and dumb,
Betrayal has now left us numb.
We're sorry, we can't escape from

This choice now we all must succumb.

He's been thrown away, left for dead,
This is only father we've had.
Thrown away (away), left for dead,
How could you choose money instead (instead)?

Greed has caused you

You act like we're blind, deaf and dumb,
Betrayal has now left us numb.
We're sorry, we can't escape from

This choice now we all must succumb.

He's been thrown away, left for dead,
This is only father we've had.
Thrown away (away), left for dead,
How could you choose money instead?

We will never forget,
We will never forget that you're the reason.
This sadness has overwhelmed us,
This grief is too much to bear.

How can we look you in the eyes,
How could you ruin his life after
All the years of joy he brought us.

There is no "we" anymore,
There is no "us" anymore.
You will have to live your
Last days in infamy.

How could you do this?
How could you choose to
Have him thrown away?

Left for dead,
This is only father we've had.
Thrown away, left for dead,
How could you choose money instead?

Left for dead, left for dead.
This is only father we've had,
Left for dead.

Nothing remains!

I shout these words
To those who never listened,
I pen this letter with
The utmost conviction.

It's been dark in here,
Cold and relentless.
It's been too long,
I can no longer fight this.

Too late to change my mind!
Nothing remains,
I've silenced the pain.

All these years passed,
No one heard my true feelings.
You continued to act
Like you knew me.

Did you ever stop
To think that I'd be able,
To look in your eyes
And say that I'm stable.

Too late to change my mind!
Nothing remains,
I've silenced the pain.

Don't tell me that I am
Taking the easy way out.
Don't tell me that I am
Taking the easy way out.

No!

No underlying message to figure out,
What you got from me is what I put out.
No underlying message to figure out,
What you got from me is what I put out.

No one knew a thing about me,
Just longing to be accepted.
Wait 'til you see what I've become (become),
My lifelessness, my lifelessness.

Too late to change my mind!
Too late to change my mind!
Nothing remains,
I've silenced the pain.

Nothing remains,
I've silenced the pain.

Nothing remains! Nothing remains!

Everything was perfect
Before I found my dream.
You were the world to me when
I used to hate myself for trying.

Now relying on you
For direction seems so trite.

Your attitude was quick
To change when you thought
One minute might go by
Without being sought.

Who do you
Think you are, manipulator?
How did it get this far?

I will make you pay,
Pay for all the lives you've ruined.
Pray you're able to breath
While I strangle you.

I'll stop at nothing, don't doubt me,
You've reigned enough.
The lies you've been telling me,
You've been caught.

Your enemy is reality.
Your fatal flaw, meeting me!

I will make you pay,
Pay for all the lives you've ruined.
Pray you're able to breath
While I strangle you.

While I strangle you!
Pray you're able to breath
While I strangle you.

Pray for all the lives...
You've ruined!

Everyone you have betrayed
Will watch you burn.
Everyone you have deceived
Will watch you burn.

Burn!

Everyone will
Watch you burn!
Everyone will
Watch you burn!

I will make you pay,
Pay for all the lives you've ruined.
Pray you're able to breath
While I strangle you.

Pay for all the lives you've ruined.
Pray you're able to breath
While I strangle you.

Endless nights filled with misery!
Sick of familiar patterns,
Bruise after cut.

Can't wash away my scars,
This is a night of salvation (salvation).
On the night of salvation (salvation)!

This life always pained me,
Tired of the same routine,
All lies I've told.

Can't hide the little things,
This is a night of salvation (salvation).
On the night of salvation (salvation)!

Life has been left behind me.
I will not cower away.
Cower away!

Adrenaline stronger than ever.
Feel it all come together.
Adrenaline stronger than ever.
Feel it all come together.

On the night of salvation (salvation)!
On the night of salvation (salvation)!

Life has been left behind me.
I will not cower away!
Cower away!

Salvation...

What a shame breaking down,
What is getting the best of you?
Take a breath, it's not complex,
I'm going to put your mind at ease.

Innocent people are
Not meant to suffer,
We're making negative
Energy power.

This will be our truth!

Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?

Can you feel us, we're stronger!
We prey on the weak and conquer.
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose.

We'll save ourselves!

You're afraid that I'm right,
I know it eats you up inside.
Well, listen to me and you will see
You have to let those fears fly free

The only danger
In this world is to be
Weak-minded with insecurities.
This won't be our truth!

Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?

Can you feel us, we're stronger!
We prey on the weak and conquer.
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose.

We'll save ourselves!

Why...
Why do you fear
Every one of us?

Why...

Why do you hate
Every one of us?

You crush us!

You crush us!

You crush us!

Why...
Why do we feel we
Are wasting our time?

Go away and end this now,
You need to get down off this cloud.
Start focusing and listening and feel
It's the time to change things.

When I'm alone,
I don't feel hopeless at all.
The day must come
Where we can stand tall.

This will be our truth!

Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?
Can you feel us?

Can you feel us, we're stronger!
We prey on the weak and conquer.
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose.

We'll save ourselves!
Save ourselves!

Can you feel we're save ourselves!
