My Inferno

by Thomas Christ

/
1.
Got something burning inside me This thing that you can't provide me Fueled by everything that you've denied me I've got the feeling within me Electricity, and it is rising All of the pain I'm disguising This plan that I've been devising I've got the feeling within me Becoming something that you can't touch I don't think that I'll ever have enough It defies all comprehension And it's leading to my reinvention And this feeling is something you just can't see But it's cutting down deep in the heart of me It's made me arrive at dissension And it lays bare all my intentions I wanted to be alright Trying to forge my way It's going off tonight I've got the feeling within me Wanted to be alright Trying to forge my way It's going off tonight I've got the feeling within me Something so close but I can't grab it In my grasp, but they won't let me have it Increasingly I'm sick and I've had it I've got the feeling within me Bruised and broken from this situation All the rage has me twisted and shaken So sorry, perhaps I'm mistaken I've got the feeling within me And it lights a blaze within my mind My inferno is glowing, it leaves me blind To the world and it's nothing I wanted And I'm left feeling afraid and affronted There isn't one single thing I can cling to All that I have is this music I bring you On a road leading deep into nowhere This world where nobody cares I wanted to be alright Trying to forge my way It's going off tonight I've got the feeling within me Wanted to be alright Trying to forge my way It's going off tonight I've got the feeling within me I'm fighting to stay above water I'm struggling to believe you I'm drowning in the wake of this slaughter It is what motivates all that I do I'm stuck inside this mirror of mayhem And I stopped listening to what you say My skepticism isn't founded in fiction It's not the first time I wished this away I wanted to be alright Trying to forge my way It's going off tonight I've got the feeling within me Wanted to be alright Trying to forge my way It's going off tonight I've got the feeling within me I've got the feeling within me I've got the feeling within me I've got the feeling within me I've got the feeling within me

Raw, emotional sores like I've endured You don't know what it's like to live Under the sign of adversity No mercy, it only gets worse for me With a capital PAIN inside this brain Half a lifetime going insane, yeah The hammer comes down with blows And it will never stop, that much I know But no one really cares what happens to me Plain to see, a simple reality Keep fighting just to stay alive But I can barely survive, this is a failure to thrive Outside it doesn't show, never let them see it Superficial promise of hope, never once believed it Not gonna hide, let it show this time Tired of living like I'm ready to die Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no You may wonder how I get up in the morning Do I wanna succeed or just continue to bleed Either way, I've got a plan now but damn how Am I gonna claw my way out this time Victory is never mine, no matter how hard I try I could cry but I couldn't find a reason why I'd probably prefer to die But that's a lie, maybe that's what makes me Try in this continuous fashion I keep smashin' there's never a reaction, but apathy People just look straight past me Sometimes they blast me, nobody ever asked me If everything was okay Probably know I wouldn't say anyway This is a triumph of full and total failure Won't say it again, here's the trailer Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no And it makes me wanna scream And it makes me wanna scream And it makes me wanna scream Will ya scream it with me I feel like I'm gonna scream I feel like I'm gonna scream I feel like I'm gonna scream Wanna hear you scream it with me Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no Do you wanna Do you wanna Do you wanna Live like this, no This is what it feels like This is what it feels like This is what it feels like This is what it feels like This is my inferno This is my inferno This is my inferno This is my inferno This is my inferno This is my inferno

Rash decisions and jumbled reality Inside a world that leaves you cold and dead The highs and lows in a twisted duality The bipolarity has mangled up your head But you were looking for a lone thread of sanity So thin and weak that you can't even hold on There's nothing real except the greed and the vanity This twisted dream, a life that's halfway gone Sometimes it seems more like a nightmare And you can never prepare Life is but a dream You missed the big sign flashing beware You froze from the jump scare Life is but a dream Come to accept you are nothing but an organism A clump of matter on a one way cosmic ride Chasing reward in the rat race of capitalism You're just a product in a system that can't provide You grow up, toil in vain, and accumulate debt They are your owners now, you owe but you'll never repay And if there's one thing on which you can safely bet This dream becomes a nightmare and the nightmare starts today Sometimes it seems more like a nightmare And you can never prepare Life is but a dream You missed the big sign flashing beware You froze from the jump scare Life is but a dream If you fall asleep You may never wake up You're in way too deep This world needs a shake up If you fall asleep You may never wake up You're in way too deep This world needs a shake up If you fall asleep You may never wake up You're in way too deep This world needs a shake up If you fall asleep You may never wake up You're in way too deep This world needs a shake up This world needs a shake up This world needs a shake up Sometimes it seems more like a nightmare And you can never prepare Life is but a dream You missed the big sign flashing beware You froze from the jump scare Life is but a dream Sometimes it seems more like a nightmare And you can never prepare Life is but a dream You missed the big sign flashing beware You froze from the jump scare Life is but a dream Life is but a dream Life is but a dream

about

A 3 song EP experimenting with recreating the sound of late 90s - early 00s Nu Metal. Lyrical content deals with recent struggles and frustrations in my life, a time when it seems the entire universe is against me and the anger that drives you to fight back.
