Inanimate Existence - The Masquerade [Full Album 2022]

Lyrics to The Masquerade [Full Album 2022] by Inanimate Existence

Tracklist: 01. Endless Waves I wake Day after day I stray further from what I am All that is left of my mind erodes From pressure that eats at will for continuance My soul fades into the gloom Sinuous repetitions Seal me in Despondence manifests as Pain I cannot evade So I seal the door away Restless when I sleep Tired when I rise Cannot break the cycle I've lost the strength to try Never ending pain I feel I'm made to suffer Exponential growth of animosity Hatred toward my species I condemn my breed Internalize I isolate On the surface they see what I want them to see But underneath I will deteriorate Sinuous repetitions Seal me in Despondence manifests as Pain I cannot evade So I seal the door away 02. Buried Beneath Scars Spiraling spiritual entities emanate Circling infinite in the night I cannot run from them they imbed Into my nightmares repeatedly More of them every time multiply Chanting in dissonant unison Entrancing, I am immobilized Adhered to the web The fiber strengthening as I fight to free myself from enchanted silk Their ears are all deaf to my cries As they strap me down deep into sleep paralysis Their power grows with every passing eve As my own strength seems to fade away They feed on all that is left of my Sanity Hidden behind Tribalist masks Inhuman forms shifting their shapes The unholy dance I try to discern What lies beneath Their power grows with every passing eve As my own strength seems to fade away They feed on all that is left of my Sanity Hidden behind Tribalist masks Inhuman forms shifting their shapes The unholy dance I try to discern What lies beneath Their forms twist with hypnotizing momentum Their limbs flail and ceaselessly grow Traced through the haze, demonic emblems Materialize The smoldering text falls from the air to my flesh Marking my skin their scripture imprints Cauterized, they bury me beneath the scars Chanting a hymn they bless the sacrifice Every night resolves the same The smoldering text falls from the air to my flesh Marking my skin their scripture imprints Cauterized, they bury me beneath the scars Chanting a hymn they bless the sacrifice Every night resolves the same Ending the ritual Every night it ends the same they feast on my living flesh I cannot move but I still feel pain they consume continuing to devour from my legs up to my neck and to my face Only then will I wake 03. The Masquerade Wrought in constant terror Born of boundless rancor This night is different than the other ones I couldn't wake from the ritual of cannibals The dream continues with my body gone I am only but a mask Lifted from the alter, I can't control Before me A burst flame that lights darkness Revealing In the heart of the inferno An apparition begins to form Reaching to me from the portal This demon is different than the other ones It conducts the ritual of cannibals Commanding the other ones stop the dance Advancing it begins to speak " I am defined by all I can control" Wrought in constant terror that let them inside Born of boundless rancor my hatred resides "Join the masquerade, I'll take the pain away I will free you from all that you can't escape Become a wraith and feast upon the energy Of the ones that condescend your very existence" Wrought in constant terror that let them inside Born in boundless rancor my hatred resides Wrought in constant terror I've let them inside to infest And defile My soul Wrought in constant terror Born of boundless rancor 04. Into The Underworld Rancid stench of the rotten one permeates Wreaking of decomposition From beneath the dirt Now unearthed and crawling up onto the alter Fighting to break from the roots Detaining the beast Risen from below Struggling to approach Shackled in the vines They try to pull him into the underworld But the animated corpse continues toward me As they peck the features from it's flesh Rancid stench of the rotten one permeates Wreaking of decomposition Upholding the mask Holding me and standing up onto the alter Fighting to break from the roots Detaining the beast I am all that's left of your embodiment Look what they inflict upon our body now How long will you let them feed upon our flesh And defile the gift we've been given? Like the swarming of fowl they tear away the skin of the sarcous undead holding me high above his head The creature adorns the mask that has imprisoned my soul within its construction disincarnate, my severed spirit and this mangled carcass Coalesce and join as one I inherit the wounds and once again I can feel the torment but this time I welcome the pain They try to pull me into the underworld the unholy wraiths continue toward me And they peck the features from my flesh 05. Wandering White Halls I awaken, the nightmare relinquishes Yet the wounds I've endured still remain Embedded in my skin My intestines are gone and im fully bled Bones exposed and I can feel the worms colonizing my insides My reflection has shifted and I cant recognize They have severed the final tether Connecting me to myself Nobody can see the blood I walk alone No one can see That my soul has left my body My open wounds They don't perceive My only yearning is to be buried They say I'm living They say that it is all in my head They're medication does nothing to pull me from the edge They say I'm living But I know I'm one with the dead Their assessments mean nothing Now they have put me away Hiding me within their walls Pumping me full of their opiates Forever wander white halls If they refuse to put me to sleep I have no other choice Ill do it myself Why can't they see the blood Why can't they smell the putrefaction The stench that never leaves me Haunting on and on I walk alone No one can see That my soul has left my body My open wounds They don't perceive My only yearning is to be buried They say I'm living They say that it is all in my head They're medication does nothing to pull me from the edge They say I'm living But I know I'm one with the dead Their assessments mean nothing to me I sit to rot forevermore 06. Return To The Dream How long have I been in this room The nights all blend as one Concealed, and in isolation When will I next see the sun I must end it there is no other way And so I accumulate pills given to me Broken glass shards smuggled back to my cell This is the night that I return to the dream Swallowing a multitude of pills Only numbs my sense so I clench the glass And the shards open up my flesh Bleeding profuse but still remain I can hear the spirits Calling out to me telling me that I am now so close To returning home Draining my blood I've stained the room My vision begins to fade away But still I cut deeper in Until I can sleep And the shards open up my flesh Bleeding profuse until I can sleep 07. Heart Of The Inferno Reality fading away as I let it go Free of all that's shackled me to the Realm that has forsaken my existence Everything is silent until the cult returns The ones I can't forget Forming a phalanx surrounding me, they whisper as they close in Summoning the ruler of the denomination Familiar burst of radiance now lights the shadows Appearing again in the heart of the inferno You are the one that took everything thing away "You had nothing and have been broken for decades. I offer you the chance at respite, take my hand" Reaching out to me His arm are Still burning I extend Clutching The demons hand I pull close I close the gap with my own plan Reaching Behind me And wielding The shard of Broken glass Stabbing Deep into its throat with all my fury I will make you bleed for my pain Rip flesh, bathe in the blood of the demon upon the alter The flames of hell are crossing over Enveloping me in the fire But nothing can stop my fury I will make you bleed for my pain Rip flesh, bathe in the blood of the demon upon the alter The flames of hell are crossing over Enveloping me in the fire But nothing can stop my fury I will make you bleed for my pain 08. Ending The Ritual The cult dances Approaching the mangled Corpse of the demon And begin feeding on The ancient one Tearing at it's legs and Up to it's face And leaving only a mask The cult now bows to me The usurper of their lord The cult now bows to me The usurper of their lord As I gaze into the mask The light from inside Projecting my past A window within the deepest reaches of My soul before i was lost As I gaze into the mask The light from inside I feel it invite Burning underneath my grasp I adorn the flaming mask As I gaze into the mask The light from inside Projecting my past A window within the deepest reaches of My soul before i was lost Incinerate Burning my flesh I am burning as the fire crosses over enveloping And consuming my whole body, I've become the flame I've become the very thing that despise and destiny has brought me here I've become the very thing that despise and destiny has brought me here Incinerate Burning my flesh The ritual has come to a halt as the tribe offer me a crown of burning thorns to signify my in vicious descension I have transitioned into the form of a demonic creature Burning eternally in the depths of a parallel universe Incinerate Burning my flesh
