The end is nigh This end is nigh That end is nigh Which end is right?

It has never been easy to have faith in something The fake mask of trust had forsaken me for so long To dive in a pit was the convenient thing just to blind my eyes and think to be safe here My closed mind’s ignoring every outcome I still can’t find someone who teach me how to Break this red wire that doesn’t reflect my own Image of life which I feel I belong to Run again, and try living Run again, where’s that living? We choose to pretend existence has a conscience Ignoring times that will never be understood Quarantine time for me with the deceivers And forced to watch my empire fading out Now tell me thief: was all of this for something? My wax of your candle has finished burning No walls no minds you can use to stay hidden So I accept the truth and find a way to Run away, restore living Run again, don’t waste breathing Run again, don’t look through me Run again, leave me with me I’ll see you again, now let me rest I’ll see you again I’ll see you again I’ll see you again I’ll see you again, leave me I fell apart throughout this strife All of this sense ain’t no real I won’t serve Every outcomes lie Are you sure you want to know what I found? Leave me all the rest, what was given first and I’ll give you all the pain that I embraced Over the hive, just somewhere it hides I never controlled the weight of my hell All that you have created will be divided, all in equal parts All the weight that you’re wearing we know someday it will sink down your arms Run again, and try living

The Distance 04:27
I leave behind the sureness I’ve worn Make room for a long time called “vain hope” If homesickness were water I would be a flood The lazy days are not bad at all This time I’m on my side It’s not all wasted, so I still can try Long waits have a pricethat I can’t bear for long After three weeks the addiction starts to call how can it seem real even after twelve months? The lazy days are not bad at all… when they stop. This time the distance has made me realize that you’re not mine It’s not time to pretend, I’m just tired No, sadness, I don’t care, there’s only me now Now I can see the end by now I’ve loosened all the threads I can see the end I hope you’ll take good care of yourself (Now I can see the end) Now I can see the end (Now I can see the end) Now I can see the end (Now I can see the end) Who said it has to be an ending? (Closer to the edge) Closer to the edge (Try to see a beginning) The distance of these times makes me realize that I’m still mine And each day of my entire life I’ll be there and I will not be disrupted by The distance

Juniper 06:12
You underdogs who haven’t lost, what have you got? Make room for somebody else’s rise I messed up learning ‘bout right and wrong and now only ashes remain of time I’m leaving home to find something more but I don’t seem to see any hive Maybe I’m wrong, I should accept more but my arms couldn't be open wider I live in a restless and unsure limbo A reality where decisions are taken only for necessity The only thing that heartens me is that nothing will ever be explained to either me or anyone else Well, it’s just that when I was a kid I used to watch the same movies over and over again Wishing they’d end in a better way At least, mother, fables are perfect just because they end in such a way where you cannot find all the negativity and the issues But in the end, does it all make any sense? You bastard, damn truth … My...oh my... reading more between right and wrong I’ve known nothing can be judged The hives stand in front, they do not move on it’s up to me to get closer and find mine The revenge of the underdogs who got faith no more have you noticed now you’re not alive? I believe no more in all your fake goals ephemeral words have a short life And now here I get increasingly worse With my eyesI see no light And fear, my dear, why should you come here? I don’t know if you can see, but my heart has just died
5.
Light forgets me and throws me in a sudden night anddark’s creeping I’m trying to break down this door And looking for revealing more But eyes don’t need proof to see Just light severance to me I’m crumbled and forsaken now Higher sense that wonders “why?” Surely I cannot try while myself still knows me Rushes in my head the meaning of controlling Painting black this rising spell I look at the great master and see no light Cluster of flies, open shell Through this sun that doesn’t rise Surely I cannot try while myself still knows me Rushes in my head the meaning of controlling Roots are ties that bind, why doesmyself avoid me? Ashes in my head, forced spirit tights me Sure I can’t

Cold gave me a gift I can’t reject A being with long and short limbs possibilities are limited And truth is all but real Oh my deepest friend You throw the bait and then I catch it You my deepest breath Stand still amid all of my mess Life teaches the fall of morality a trap or simply hell? Casualties of causality Born by Cordyceps Damn your older shell screams loud about tales which I don’t care of Having fallen into cordyweb The worst regards came out from me

Anæstatic 04:09
Erase your fake untruth it's your lies that kill your free will Eyes that fall in unconsciousness and they reveal their white end Can’t reckon anymore Hidin’ their lives through me, writing pages Throwing waves into me, staring with their gaze Useless to feel disgust it’s just the place where you live Grinding years of frustration isn’t this feeling what you need? Can’t reckon anymore Hidin’ their lives through me, writing pages Throwing waves into me, staring with their gaze Hidin’ their lives through me, erase mistakes Hypnotize me, rage dissolves, turning pages for me

Be Weird 05:48
Inside the water we can stop thinking and our souls can be free again, yes free and one day we will grow up and the past will never belong to us seems so bleak, yes it is so bleak We push through the others and make an ocean in between only to set us free to choose to die in peace And I could start to cover all the lies that stare at me and create a new opening, yes a new beginning This time feels more rough, ‘cause this sin won’t go away Yes this time is more rough, but I’ll be there when you’ll be weird With the head in the water we can kill our breaths “it’s too late only if I’m dead”, Charles don’t lie to me, Fuck! Still a few more steps and the world now cannot begin anymore One day we’ll be others and it’ll be wrong to feel sorry for us We’ll never learn, Never. Never learn, never learn, never learn This time feels more rough, ‘cause this sin won’t go away Yes this time is so rough, but I’ll be there when you’ll be weird too Save my lie Save my lie Save my lie Save my lie But this time feels so rough, ‘cause this sin won’t go away Yes this time is so rough, but I’ll be there when you’ll be weird (too) Our smiles had different moods ‘cause I would stay and you would go away Every time will feel so rough ‘cause I’ll be there and you’ll be away

May I live deeper than I’m without stripping me from truth? May I call this long fall“awakening” without lying to myself? May I overwrite all those ages without losing myself May I find somethingin this spacemind so that sadness won't grow? The world is getting tight There’s nothing here that seems to rise Leave all those things I used to have Make room for homes grafted in flesh Avoid the war, I’m good in peace my dreams are wrecks on the sea's floor I’m on my knees begging for a hand I forgot I won’t have any help To a waterfall I’m just a drop To a wasteland I’m like a stalk It’s burying me with tricks and thorns Under a cross of rotten wood I feel it moving in my skin A still moan runsout from the lips I think there will not be an end Weird out Without strife only waiting, always keeping the gaze down, everlasting age, way down, always feeding more ages ‘cause the cross that you made me doesn’t fit any nail of mine I can’t find the end, I’m circling Towards nothing at all slow Days are laying down They are mine They are They are They are Mine And when I’ll live harder than I’m faking No one will care ‘bout me, life strips me of all I have, way down I enjoy every sec of this decade it gives me rope and I take it More than I can take, heaven Doesn’t seem so real and now Rage is getting me

about

ᴛʜᴇ ᴀɴᴄᴇꜱᴛᴏʀ gravitates around the hypothesis that every living being is dominated by an entity named "Cordycep" referring to what we commonly call "soul".
When the host organism dies, the Cordycep moves to a new being next to come to existence, continuing its journey and affecting the new host's life with the traces and undertones from the previous existence.
All this results in a sense of impotence towards personal defects, emotions, intentions and the frustration that comes from not having complete control of one’s self.
