Lyrics

A stale organic cage
Incarceration
I'm in the stranger: me
(Lost in corporeal inanity)
The user of my face;
Beneath its guise I rot
A paradox in terms
(I am now what I'm not)
Interconnected, fused
My words are its thoughts
I now share my self with my reflection
Straining to divide our twined formation
Duality within singularity

(I'm forlorn in my own withering soul
Racked by continuous waves of dissolution
My gemini mind the creator of the undulation
I strain to untangle these malignant bonds
To become again the one that I was)

Coalescence done
The merging complete
The sentence carried out
(I'm condemned for eternity)
The confluence
Our interwound flows;
Surges not to be fused
(Now combined, intertwined)
In this mental cage we absorb our selves
The only certainty is my suffering
My mind in constant pleas for an end to this concatenation
A struggle all in vain
We're both the same

(A withering soul torn by the attempts of regeneration
My gemini mind the obstacle of my redemption
I strain to elude the face of my other self
To become again the one that I was)

Plug me in, reconnect me to my self
Plug me in, reconnect me to my soul

Gone are all my hopes
All my vain illusions
Deceived I dwell in me
In the core of my agony
I fade in this duress
I'm weakening
The one who claimed my front is now the claimant of my soul

(A withering soul torn by this antipolar mental integration
My divided mind a system split in two creations
I strain to reach the separation tools
To be again the one that I was)

Into the core of self, the neuro-axis, I fade
Within the fading core of self I am....
Gone-bound, lost, away, phased out, non-existing
