The Zone 03:25
It's getting warm A fever pitch is rising Revs start to crawl I need to grab what lies in I fall asleep and let it rise A radioactive paradise My gun has jammed Flashlight is getting dimmer Well I'll be damned If I don't get that screamer My revs on red The air is getting thinner My body's spent Wish I was just a dreamer The cover is open Guess I'm the chosen one I enter with fear I leave a broken man The purpose of life Laying inside the bowl The zone just gained the rights To claim another soul

Confession 06:48
I have passed all my time In a distorted reality Staying behind, laying inside To my own insanity Overthinking and low expectations Hold me in the past Surrender now to your mind Let your feelings vast I have lived all my life Under an ego morality Saying yes, living less Kind of sick mentality Unable to move or chase Dreams that left to rust Never's too late, seize the day Do something fast Bless me father cause I have sinned I betrayed my faith Satisfying my greed Like a fallen angel walked away From paradise shore like a stray Bless me mother cause I didn't see The beauty and love they gave to me Forsake the wasted time Reveal the truth Heal my broken wings Restore my youth Bless me father cause now I have changed Every fucking piece of me that keeps me caged And please don't shed a tear Don't even cry If you want to be reborn First you have to die Bless me mother cause now I can see clear I'm dragging to light All shadows I used to fear

Welcome inside my brain All paths and routes collide Like fog on distant rain A thrilling ride Unstructured or flawed, it isn't It may seem like When riddles come undone Run for your life Failed again to live Hunted by nightmares I dreamed Creating an evil spirit I forgot to despise I am become death I'm not what it seems or may seem like Below it lurks and roars Consumes my light Goodwill's not a virtue It fights back with might The riddles came undone Run for your life Liar You don't understand You just assume You would be slayed, extinct Before you did I exist Only inside your petty mind A double edged sword A backstabbing friend I save and guide Then tan your hide

Walking through my souls Questioning my noes Hanging on and hanging on Literally disabled Again Will you write for me a story from the start? Could you find the black? Erase it from the map What the world would be Without my pretty lies Lust, kills and every single sin Heal me Greed is my god Covered by blood Coloured red but smells like glory Hitting the ground again Will you write for me a story from the start? Could you find the black? Erase it from the map What the world would be Without my pretty lies Lust, kills and every single sin Heal me Do you know where you are trapped? In a place called human nature Will you bend time just to change your past? We're much more and even less I'm losing this game It's not my turn Like spinning atoms in the air

Hey you You've been here for so long What you crave will soon be yours Or so they've told you It was you The biggest servant to the grind All for nothing just a hustle Designed to haunt you Thriving self Sitting deaf Into his wooden kingdom Is love real? Or born surreal? My hand is driven by you Why? Are you doing this to me? Why? Acting in my own show Hey you You've been denied for so long Still all you think is let it pass Well let me show you It was you That made a limbo out of your mind A passive state A possum play You turned the joke on you Thriving self Sitting deaf Into his wooden kingdom Is love real? Or born surreal? My hand is driven by you Why? Are you doing this to me? Why? Acting in my own show Your stare's too short To reach the facts No comfort outside the box The limits of which you just defined No chain reactions In a balanced purgatory A glimpse in a mirror helps you find The face Of the architect

Thoughtcrime 05:53
World of heterogeny Without copyrights Suffocating by ourselves Wanting life of someone else Preserving our taboos Not how Ziggy taught us Going backwards Making tunnels For mankind to get lost I'm the host I'm the one who causes pain You're the one accepting it It's your nature to adore In sight of anger Your defeat Appraising the one eradicates All those wonders Blackened or white Failed my first born pursuit To control my mind Drown in unknown Unable to retreat Now I know that I'm the world you see I was standing still with an impatient look Couldn't see I'm a part of an Apocryphal book Time to lie down Hope is never to be found Inside the fountain I'm burning Cause water's dried And fire is the overcome All those wonders Blackened or white Failed my pursuit To control my mind Drown in unknown Unable to retrieve That I know That I'm the world you see Wonders blackened or white Failed to control my mind Drown in unknown Unable I know That I am the world All those wonders blackened or white Failed to control my mind Drown in unknown Unable I know That I am the world you see Arrested in front of nobody Thoughtcrime was all I had It doesn't cast its echo still Cause now you are the world I see Now I'm the world You see

Do you watch the sun? Before it settles I sense you skipped To stare at the moon Do you blow away the petals? Like the wind does to the dune You should stay and hear the story Of what caused mind to delve in the mist Though you'll trick yourself with glory Giving up all you wist Don't fear the journey Scrap the destination Dare to gaze What lies beyond the abyss And makes you faze Swiftly turns into bliss The most seductive bite Are seeds of gain Don't fear the rain Misty sunset Perfect sight Dare to gaze what lies beyond the...

about

"Contradiction" serves as a collection of aspects from the human psyche. Aspects that take shape and form through consequence and the different paths created by every choice we make. Due to our human nature, these aspects are bound to contradict with each other, creating a state of mental chaos. And the path to avoid spiraling into oblivion is not always clear. There's a certain toll you have to take if you want to be reborn and the album's purpose is to take you through that journey. Inspired by real life, amplified by fiction and the band's love for storytelling.
