lyrics
Once again I've sunken into this realm,
a dull apathy, so familiar, so real.
A mindset that musters emotions lackluster,
this false reality of faded colors.
Empty thoughts, my soul that rots alone.
Sinking down, my dreams that drown in cold.
An icy tomb a harsh defeat.
Looking up, I see only how far I've sunk.
I can go no lower.
Looking down in horror, cavernous explorer
non-consensual relentless endeavor.
My heart beating slower.
Give me a reason why I should stay here?
my body's too tired to feel hate or fear.
No motivation to alleviate
(this) suffocating emptiness and lethargy.
Shutting down,
checking out.
This is my flatline.
I am exhausted, weathered and weakened.
I am exhausted, I'm ready to sleep.
Finally serenity
drifting off to sleep
please take my hand
and guide me gently
Please don't let me wake from
this peace I have earned
this peace I deserve.
I don't want to wake from
this place of comfort
away from the hurt.
Shutting down
Checking out
This is my flatline.
a dull apathy, so familiar, so real.
A mindset that musters emotions lackluster,
this false reality of faded colors.
Empty thoughts, my soul that rots alone.
Sinking down, my dreams that drown in cold.
An icy tomb a harsh defeat.
Looking up, I see only how far I've sunk.
I can go no lower.
Looking down in horror, cavernous explorer
non-consensual relentless endeavor.
My heart beating slower.
Give me a reason why I should stay here?
my body's too tired to feel hate or fear.
No motivation to alleviate
(this) suffocating emptiness and lethargy.
Shutting down,
checking out.
This is my flatline.
I am exhausted, weathered and weakened.
I am exhausted, I'm ready to sleep.
Finally serenity
drifting off to sleep
please take my hand
and guide me gently
Please don't let me wake from
this peace I have earned
this peace I deserve.
I don't want to wake from
this place of comfort
away from the hurt.
Shutting down
Checking out
This is my flatline.

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians!
