Exordium 03:29
Exordium Tossing and turning as I watch her sleep Unknown anxieties contradicting the process of my conscience This house is my temple, this house is my confine Thoughts burning at its walls, stripped of what is mine Stripped of what is mine Forcing my opposite intensions to be made Overwhelming thoughts consume My urge to kill will soon fucking reign its doom Dragging me down the hall, smashing my head into the walls Why do I feel no shame? Why do I feel no shame? The space beside becomes empty The soft moonlit sheets devoid of a body Panic grips, demented thought slips Replaced by a sick curiosity Soft lights shining bright upon me Will I ever live this down? Reality staring blank at me A final nail in a broken home My body trembles without a sound Without a fucking sound Without a sound Lines traced upon soft flesh, caressed by the butcher’s blade Face ripped open like the jaws of a bear trap Why do I feel no shame? Why do I feel no shame? Exalt my discovery, crucify my past Mixed signals being received Clutching the remains of my life Disposing of my beloved, I flee the scene I flee the scene Clutching the remains of my life I flee the scene Disposing of my beloved I feel the scene Soft lights shining bright upon me Will I ever live this down? Reality staring blank at me, a final nail in a broken home My body trembles a sound Without a fucking sound My body trembles without a sound

Here we are giving ourselves headaches Too much time to waste in this city So let’s make this decision now Let’s make this decision right now Staying here will only cause pain for our miserable lives It is time for a change in this world for us It is time for our destiny to be fulfilled Staying here will only cause pain for our miserable lives It is time for a change in this world for us It is time for our destiny to be fulfilled Prepare, prepare for the best and not the worst Wherever we end up So keep your head up high Keep your head up high until this shit is all over now I promise it will end This place has no future for us Destiny awaits our arrival Destiny awaits our arrival This is our new home Wipe all the tears off your face and smile This is our new home Wipe all the tears off your face and smile There is no shame in leaving We have a new lease of life A chance to build hopes and dreams A chance to erase the mind of horrible, un-forgetful thoughts We’ve reached our destination Our new home Welcome to the woodlands Where the air is so fucking cold and the sky is pale So welcome to the woodlands Where all of our methods begin to fucking fail Welcome to the woodlands Where all of our methods begin to fail Begin to fail Where all of our methods begin to fail Begin to fail Our past life had no future for us Woodlands has embraced our entrance Woodlands has embraced our entrance Our entrance No need for whining Give the woodlands a chance and smile No need for crying Give the woodlands a chance and smile This is our new home Wipe all the tears from your face and smile

Pray for the one who ran and took everything from my life When he’s exposed his face will shine in front of pain of agony Settle in your new room Don’t say a word Please get some fucking sleep Because tomorrows a new day And we will never speak of our past memories We’re here to get better Well you are but I am fine What did you just say? How could you betray me like that? Don’t you fucking dare… Father, what I just said wasn’t a lie I know it sounds weird but trust me You must believe every word that is coming out of my mouth Father, what I just said wasn’t a lie I know it sounds weird but trust me You must believe every word that is coming out of my mouth Don’t you talk to me like that I’m not taking in anything you said You need to believe every word that is coming out of my mouth I wake up and it’s 4 o’clock in the AM So I go downstairs into the kitchen I walk around and I see sharpened tools on the table I can’t believe this, who set this shit up? No one is here but me and my daughter is asleep in her bed She wouldn’t do anything like that Then why the hell is there is there a torture chamber set up in my house? This makes no sense to me at all Then why the hell is there is there a torture chamber set up in my house? This makes no sense to me at all But we will still breed ourselves into captivity We will not cut the cord We will still breed ourselves into captivity We will not cut the cord on this lifestyle we are living On this lifestyle we are living I’m gonna knock somebody out if I don’t find an answer to this event that has just occurred Give me fucking answers I’ve just asked a question And I would very much appreciate it if it was addressed Settle in your new room Don’t say a word please get some fucking sleep Because tomorrows a new day And we will never speak of our past memories Shut up! Do not say anything more Just shut your eyes and sleep Shut up! Do not say anything more Just shut your eyes and sleep Settle in your new room Don’t say a word please get some fucking sleep Because tomorrows a new day And we will never speak of our past memories Of our past memories Just tell me what the hell is happening

4 AM once again, no alarm is set, 4AM again Who wakes up like this every night? Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again I feel a burning sensation running down one side of my body As the other sensation runs cold I am weak, I am strong This density is intense and it doesn’t make sense Because I’ve done nothing wrong What was that noise? What was that bang? What was that sound? What was that motherfucking shake? I can’t stand another day in this haunted, hypocritical place I rush up out of my bed And run as quickly as I can to my little angel’s bedroom I fail to open the engaged door My daughter has never locked her door once in her life But why now? Let me in, we have to leave You’ve given me no choice but to break the door down I crash my way through the door And she’s nowhere to be seen Where did that bitch go? She runs out underneath her bed Downstairs to the front door screaming Let me out! As I chase her down the stairs I question her What’s wrong? It’s me? Let me out! After she spoke the truth My frozen sensation started to melt down And the burning sensation began to ignite up And take over my innocent self You better shut up Keep quiet and listen to me If you fail to do so I will grab you and pull you by the hair and introduce you to my torture chamber of hunger needs and fetish feeds You weak little child Are you fucking scared? You weak little child Are you gonna cry? Oh my god! What an adrenaline rush My head is turned backwards Around, inside out, upside down I can’t believe the switch This could not have made me more broken than ever But I could not be happier that I have two powers to capture This little innocent helpless power that stands in my way To control my fate You screwed everything up How could you rip apart our family into pieces and have no remorse for your actions? I will not be your next victim I did nothing wrong for myself This was my plan from the start I am who I am Daddy’s gone, and he’s not coming back 1, 2, 3, 4, start your running Start your running He’s gone forever now No I will not hold back No I will not hold back I am who I am I am who I am

There she goes outside my house Like in my dreams Like in her nightmares I understand why she’s running away from me Because if I had her next to me I would hold her in the palm of my hand And only I could imagine the things I would do if only I could claim her and do as I wish I chase her down the road, down the streets Tracing her tracks, tracing her footprints into the woodlands If I could see anything more than her shadows passing the trees then I would be in control of this situation I just saw her jump over the lake And if I’m correct if she tends to slip and drown into the lake Then everything will be complete Be complete Don’t turn around, he’s right behind you And he will take everything that he’s ever wanted He’s getting closer and closer to feed on his daughters death He will find you And he will take everything that he’s come to accomplish So I ask that you must run faster and faster Pray for your life Pray for your life Pray for your life Please don’t take me away There’s only one survivor left in my family And I will not obey your words, anymore As I witness her crawling behind that tree I can see her but she can’t see me As my hands are reaching closer I can grab her feet And now I shall make her my abomination Dragging her face across the filthy forest floors Pulling her by the leg into the middle of the road I smash her in the nose with her fingers on the door And throw her up onto the table I will retrace the bloodlines of this family Across your soft flesh Memories breed memories I can’t wait to see your face ripped and slashed Your mouth will be torn like the jaws of a bear trap This doesn’t have to be as difficult as you are making it Open your eyes Look directly at me And tell me what you see Everything that is so regretful! Please don’t take me away There’s only one survivor left in my family And I will not obey your words, anymore I wish this would all just be An illusion of what’s gonna happen to him I’m afraid of my killer instincts But I need to survive and it runs in my family Suddenly, clenched in my hand A tool of my father’s trade Scalpel in hand, I divide his face Parting his skin until he is erased I open the door and leave this life behind In ambivalence In ambivalence I have now finished what he started
