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

Welcome To The Woodlands

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
