1. Sleep Paralysis
Dark Chamber
Look around look around nothing is there
Look around look around nothing is there
Paranoia sets in
I will die it feels so real
It can't be why is it so?
Try to sit up but I can't
Try to turn my head to see more but I can't
Try to speak out for help but I am unable to
I sense my doom
I feel a presence just around the corner
From my bedroom door
It nears closer
And I try to yell as loudly as before
But nothing happens
My cries are muted
Sleep Paralysis a bleak analysis
My body is bound down with muted cries
As Death inches closer I am paralyzed
My heart’s pounding out of my chest
Muscles flexed I will not rest
I await my grisly doom
My eyes are screaming within this room
I feel its aura slowly inching closer to be seen
I'm pushing as hard as I can to scream with no effect
What feels like an eternity passes by
Sleep Paralysis a bleak analysis

2. Scar on Humanity
Dark Chamber
I've been tortured beaten enduring pure torment
Sentenced to suffer
Callous lack of empathy
Devoid of decency
You limit my real estate for faith
You're a scar on humanity
My trust is crushed I am drowning
Holding me down while I try to surface for air
Lightheartedly inflicting agony
Feeding on distress embarrassment misery suffering
Lacking guilt remorse for those in pain
Now I am reliving my hate
How I've strived through my life to be free of your wrath
Now I am shielded by the flames that are my fury
Sentenced to suffer
Callous lack of empathy
Devoid of decency
You limit my real estate for faith
You're a scar on humanity
Anti-role model that I despise
Now I look down on your life
4:26
3. The Operation
Dark Chamber
My time has come time to operate!
Steeped in sickness entangled in filth I alone am facing death
Immersed in pain awaiting darkness as the light is fading away
Opened up I feel new pain
Sensations are uniquely obtained
Cruelty is alive and well
Victimized I am still alive
A drug induced state of unparalleled misery
The operation takes its toll
Feeling pain I cannot control (end this)
How much damage have I endured?
To what extent have I been cured?
Stuck with needles filled with drugs
My body is on fire screaming, endlessly
A sharp turn a tragedy
Loss of blood feeling weak
Rush into emergency
Fear and pain rips through my brain
Life or death awaits
The operation takes its toll
Feeling pain I cannot control (end this)
How much damage have I endured?
To what extent have I been cured?
Oozing infected blood
Internally bleeding
Infections are not healing
Critical state treatment unexplained
No accountability no admitting mistakes
Steeped in sickness entangled in filth I alone am facing death
Immersed in pain awaiting darkness as the light is fading away
Opened up I feel new pain
Sensations are uniquely obtained
Cruelty is alive and well
Victimized I am still alive

4. Shameless Demon
Dark Chamber
Behind a fake smile lies a world of evil
A psychological game that I see through
A despicable soul an owner of many faces
You are sweet at first not asking for much
But explode when your vices are taken from you
You lie to my face
Feed me misinformation
You would snitch on your friends
To me when they betray you
Shameless nothing is too low for you
You have shown me that true evil exists
Demon screaming out
You would burn bridges for your next hit
Sheer terror filled harrowing insanity pours from your body
All smiles to true evil in the blink of an eye
Violence is always an option when you’re at the end of your rope
Convulsions on the floor attention whore
Shameless nothing is too low for you
You have shown me that true evil exists
Demon screaming out
You would burn bridges for your next hit
Tensions are high as you're nearly dry
I hear you go off near the wrong person
When I come over I see blood on your face
And you playing the victim
Put in your place this is your fate
You deserve nothing less
4:29
5. No More Words
Dark Chamber
There are no more words I have nothing to say
This is in essence loss of existence while memories fade
To never know the secrets of life
To be denied by a hopeless death
I feel insane awaiting enchained
to the cycle of my decay
I scream at the abyss
I hear no more sound I see no more light
Everything around feels as black as night
Emptiness fills my soul
My consciousness collapses within
Swallowed whole into the void
I return
4:10
6. Chaos Creates
Dark Chamber
In a universe incomprehensibly complex
Only within the mind do limitations persist
For what is possible to exist
There is no limit to evil
Things can always be worse
To our perceptions there are no patterns
Not everything can be predicted or understood
You can always fall further
Chaos creates these opportunities
And it also destroys preconceptions
Inside of limiting systems
And without limits on evil
There are also no limits on good
No limits on what is acheivable on what is attainable
To our perceptions there are no patterns
Not everything can be predicted or understood
You can always climb higher
All things are possible
Step outside yourself and transcend reality
All things are possible
Step outside yourself and transcend reality
All things are possible
Step outside yourself and transcend reality
All things are possible
Step outside yourself and transcend reality
3:58
7. In Vanity
Dark Chamber
Stuck in a reflection
The mind grows weak
Staring into nothing
Forever in vanity
To be without
A deeper purpose
To feel the doubt
From your peers
Basic human attraction
Turns inwardly
Vying for attention
Forever in vanity
Drowning in affinity
You are trapped in vanity
It is a race that cannot be won
Where the rules are ever changing
The real prize is defeat
And the real loss is to race another day
A road paved in victories dead ends
In emptiness
4:33
8. The Unseen One
Dark Chamber
For six years I was your guest
Only knowing this in the last year
I feared your precense
And your intent
Watching my life
Hearing my life
Knowing my life
Wanting me to yourself
The Unseen One
You made others wish to end their life
So you could have me to yourself
You made them want to die
Sick loathsome spirit
With an apetite for suicide
Existing beyond consequence
Envious of the living
Squeezing my heart
Beating in your cold grasp
From beyond
Knowing or not knowing
Your true form
Or intentions
Hearing the words you speak
While I try to fall asleep
"Don't leave"
Manifested connected
To this space
Dead and gone
True purpose incomplete
I am free you are not
I move on while you rot
You persist for your next guest
While my heart beats in my chest
