Instantiate 03:01
It all began with the instantiation of a tragedy Preceded by prerequisites that should never take place Yet how unfortunate it nevertheless may have ever been I was held accountable for setting up this scenario No explanations as to why validate any pleas for innocence Still the official statement expunged the guilt from me Non compos mentis - the delirious mind cannot be accused However the penalty emerged from within "Vishnu is trying to persuade that the Prince that he should do his duty ... and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says: 'Now I am become death, the Destroyer of Worlds.'" (J. Robert Oppenheimer, 1965) No detour to avoid the guilt and continue as it were Exoneration unreachable from this hellish prison Such disequilibrium paves grounds for onset of distress, imbalance of the mind and ramifications of the most severe kind Instantiate your demons to claim their redemption We awaken justifications to among our tribulation Let loose the parasites of your subliminal mind And stand by to see yourself beaten blind

Let this be the reason to explain all the all the immoral outrages All the disharmony, disloyalty and discrepancy Of all the sickening cruelties of every act to mitigate myself What I truly earn, this one will shatter prerequisites for All the lies carved deep within the inflated mind Now is the time to start violating my own kind Join the cult, join the cult to destroy the consuming urge to destroy all Join the cult, join the cult with profound hatred towards all that you represent Contemplating the knowledge of the peers already involved to take measures in bettering the core of myself Harnessing hatred, invoking ire; Elements of deterioration of the mind forever (are) destined to yield All the lies carved deep within the inflated mind Now is the time to start violating your own kind Join the cult, join the cult to destroy the consuming urge to destroy all Join the cult, join the cult with profound hatred towards all that you represent Face the mass of this projectile wrath Stand in the way of this enmity to embrace the ineptitude of a crippled mind

I'm officially lost within the realm of myself Severed the ties to the outside world to understand who I truly am All alone with my thoughts of despise towards who I am beneath this mask of insanity - I do not understand Give me the keys to define myself Give me the reasons to live through this hell This intermittent rage defiles the virtuous mind what I once called home instead of prison for emotionally blind Educate me with tools of the trade of medicine I'll submit to practically anything to revert me back to my old kind Give me the keys to define myself Give me the reasons to live through this hell I am seeking solace to among this demolished palace of what I called integrity So I am seeking solace to among this demolished palace of what I called identity I am no longer lost, I have found such peace The realm of Olanzapine will surely leave these nightmare at ease This spiritual lobotomy will help me not to stray from the path of the enlightenment of behavior: delusions will cease Give me the keys to define myself Give me the reasons to live through this hell I am seeking solace to among this demolished palace of what I called identity So I am seeking solace to among this demolished palace what I once called identity

Release the burden of your past Conform to the dictated standards Dwell in the deformity of norms So take the medicine of the soul Now I feel the numbing of my perception with a side of sensory deprivation of all the self-conceived cognitions that encompassed my previous life This shell remained the same But the person inside is lost: Adjusted to all the standards of this society Now I feel the numbing of my perception with a side of sensory deprivation of all the self-conceived cognitions that encompassed my previous life How I was built - suddenly no longer exists A modified version of who I'm supposed to be within the confinements of myself This is hell – an ultimate disconnect of oneself A supposed reality the others recognize For me, a realm of total disequilibrium of body and soul where the spirit lies paralyzed by the bereavement of all preconceived notions All you've consciously known about the essence of your existence swept away by a searing wave of spiritual dissonance whereas the others are reluctant to change the course of their conduct within your imminent proximity Now I feel the numbing of my perception with a side of sensory deprivation of all the self-conceived cognitions that encompassed my previous life How I was built, suddenly no longer exists A modified version of who I'm supposed to be within the confinements of myself

Hear me now, as I summon the last instance of my sanity as a desperate attempt of the mind to remediate the loss To further address the realities distorted by processes unknown One must walk through the fathomless terrors of their interior world To sabotage the process of healing requires complexity in the form of lies fed by the misuse of science and faith The dimensions of God and Haloperidol destroy the infinity of a pure mind that strives to reset the aberration of identity Descend to schizophrenia A process of absolute necessity to overcome your plight The only form of manipulation comes from within yourself a nature's way to provide you tools to subdue any conflicts that one finds impossible to resolve any other way So don't medicate, don't hesitate to reject all gods to ensure your cure Descend to schizophrenia A process of absolute necessity to overcome your plight Descend to schizophrenia A strategy of utmost urgency to ensure your cure
6.
This is the truth as I know it: effigies we are to those that possess the right to dominate, dictate, debate, berate and annihilate Conspiracies have now unraveled and brought this experience to my... conscious attention There's no business quite like this charity: where collars whiter than their lies provide you Panacea for their own arrogance while nurturing this vicious dependence Samaritans thieving the poor and the weak with absolute zero nobility Liars bound in ivory towers Lobbying against the cures, dictating the news to offend the nature Liars bound in ivory towers The perpetual media blackout manipulated throughout Indoctrination of a whole generation has distorted the views on spiritual growth No pills can constitute the benefits of a natural death of an individual ego Embrace the spectrum of self-healing: the dimensions you find from within Liars bound in ivory towers Lobbying against the cures, dictating the news to offend nature Liars bound in ivory towers The perpetual media blackout manipulated all the way throughout

Obliterate 03:56
I'm recuperated from all the ailments that I encountered during my detachment from my reality I'm now officially a person of sanity with characteristics aligned with the rest of this god forsaken church (Omnition - omission) Blind as a bat towards the remedy of souls (Obsession - regression) A servile lamb for your sickening tools But what you don't know now is that I understand All the aims of your sinister plans to poison all with fear and lies I'll do whatever it takes to uncover this horrid dismay for all the victims who died because of your vile crusade (Omnition - omission) Blind as a bat towards the remedy of souls (Obsession - regression) A servile lamb for your sickening tools Obliterate This declaration means personal war against the core ambassadors of healing by misguidance and secretiveness Let sick people thrive in all their fallacies while you're ripping off of their sense of ownership over health in body, in mind and soul Obliterate (Omnition - omission) Blind as a bat towards the remedy of souls (Obsession - regression) A servile lamb for your sickening tools (Repression - depression) A chain of progress towards inevitable doom Obliterate

Now that my eyes are no longer blinded by misconducts of a staggering neglect Set free from the restrictions of the process of healing by faith towards the substance prescribed And as I retreated from the ailments of systematic brainwash by scholars acclaimed: The true nature of the power we worship unfolded to me as a preposterous scam Now I can see in what we believe: Lies upon lies - making profit off our lives A world where the greed overthrows the nurturing of the ill the definition of power is more desirable than the thrill... Overthrow the omnipotence of the opium And start claiming the credits and responsibilities of yourself and all your actions, for at the end of the day: the attempts to recuperate are vain if you don't have faith in yourself All of this has become so evident to me: we blindly believe in what we're told to do, who we are told to be No wonder we forget who we truly are within the framework of our very own identity Unblinding Now I can see in what we believe: Lies upon lies - making profit off our lives A world where the greed overthrows the nurturing of the ill and the definition of power is more desirable than the thrill of love and caring towards the weakest in what we have the nerve to call a civilized society
