AWAKENING
Damning Well/Danny Lohner/Josh Freese/Patrick Richard/Wes Borland Lyrics

Out of control of a history untold
I am overwhelmed by the unknown, untold parts of my past that I cannot control.

It begins with the father of sin
The root of my problems is the presence of the original sin, passed down through generations.

I walk alone in the garden of stones
I feel isolated and surrounded by obstacles in my journey through life.

I turn into the monster within
My inner demons and flaws take control, turning me into someone I don't recognize.

Life is too long for me
I feel burdened by the length and difficulty of life.

Life is too wrong for me
My life feels like a series of mistakes and misfortunes.

'Cause there's something that I realize, that I miss being human
Despite my struggles, I long for the feeling of being human and imperfect, with all the emotions and experiences that come with it.

Nothing Times
I am overwhelmed by feelings of emptiness and insignificance.

I lose control as the story unfolds
As my life progresses and new events unfold, I feel like I am losing control of my own narrative.

I have been like a knife to bare skin
My actions and choices have caused pain and damage to myself and others.

I walk alone like a king with no throne
Despite my accomplishments and strengths, I still feel alone and unfulfilled.

I burn up from the monster within
My inner demons and negative traits consume me and cause pain and destruction.

I like hunting the pieces, 'cause I have come to need this shell
I enjoy the process of searching for missing parts of myself, because it helps me cope with the emptiness I feel inside.

I teach lies that I miss being human
Despite my desire to be human, I sometimes spread falsehoods and negative messages to those around me.
