lyrics

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
