1.	The Oath 03:23	lyrics
Sold my soul for a sense of control Took the oath, doom swallowed me whole – and I fold Pledge my allegiance to evil to make ends meet This feeling is lethal, I’ll never be complete So feeble, so small – with my back against the wall Now I sleep with a smile, waiting for death’s call I know it’s not the way we planned Time’s sweetest kiss Reroute the future – couldn’t plan for this Let me retrace the life I’ve lived Sweet obsession – meet me in the abyss Hand to the glass, I tap See my reflection age – plots overlap Looking back, I can’t fill the gaps Memories gone and misery relapsed Time trembled on – erased your love, erased your kiss Your beauty gone – I chase forever that bliss Time trembled on – vanish your touch, vanish the love Your beauty gone to heaven’s above To heaven’s above
2.	The Truth 03:59	lyrics
These days we’re all chained to the game No, I’m not exempt – we bleed the same shame Death clock ticks, walking down the line Ignoring red flags – didn’t read the signs Why can’t I let this go and be free? What is this angst bestowed? Spoiled and ashamed You burn away your days Wired to the frame of the socialite game Feed your algorithm with lonely solipsism Wilt away – feed the game All on the line – ego intertwined If I fall, I break – your eye’s are all I find Worthy of my time, in my mind you shine Brighter than the sun, now my eyes are blind Why can’t I let this go? Keep sinking down below Spoiled and ashamed You burn away your days Wired to the frame of the socialite game Feed your algorithm with lonely solipsism Wilt away – feed the game I know the truth of the pain you can’t choose Writing the proof on the wall’s of your tomb Feed your algorithm with lonely solipsism Free your brain to sweet insane Verified. Radicalized Scared to share the words I can’t find Innocence antiquated Reformation has been vacated Hanging by a thread I sway Thinner and thinner every day Below the masses – salivating Twisting tongues –impatiently waiting Thick silence – Sick surveillance Every move – an observation Thick silence – Sick surveillance Can I live? Can I break?
