Thirteen..

[Hook: (Johnny Cash sample)]
What have I become? My sweetest friend
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down; I will make you hurt

[Verse 1: CinoS]
Surrounded by light; it feels brand-new
Cyanosis, everything seems shades blue
Emotions erased; such trifling things
A world surrounded by plight; who's rightfully king?
So many stories told; only some partially true
Empty words; false faith, with partial a proof
You look into a mirror, it's partially you
But unless your mind is unfiltered, you partially lose
'Twas a bleak religion, is just a thousand lies
Polarized through the cries of a firefly
Cuttin' sharp from the pain of a thousand knives
Spread amongst the bright stars of a thousand skies
Don't ask why He should hold you hostage
And claim you as each sin through the apple of His knowledge
When all guilt is polished, and all right is wrong
You know that it's in your blood
You truly know you belong
Thirteen..

What have I become? My sweetest friend
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down; I will make you hurt

[Verse 2: CinoS]
This feels like the worst dream I ever lived
The love was counterfeit; chains around my wrist
Women screamin' through the mist, but the plot has a twist
Cause me and my past memories cannot co-exist
They control me while I feed, hit me while I plead
"Let me the fuck out!"; "Child, go back to sleep"
I can't take this dream; I'm broken and defeated
While they play these visuals of how my true love cheated

They take me to ninety-nine through the sounds of the cantor
They show my best friend, and how she truly died of cancer
I didn't have the answer; I wish I could of saved her
If she was truly someone special, and God is who made her
Then why did He let her pass? Why'd He let her go?
This world is a facade; this life is just a show
Impossible is truth; everything's a lie
I can't take the pain, please just let me die..

[Hook: (Johnny Cash sample)]
What have I become? My sweetest friend
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down; I will make you hurt

[Verse 3: CinoS]
I feel weak, but I've had time to think
Flesh chilled, wounds healed, but I can barely speak
I'm lookin' at the peak, and can't ignore it
The absolutely aborted; I frequently talk to Horus
I wonder, if he can talk to snakes, like I can
I wonder if he can change love to hate, like I can
I wonder if he can move a generation, like I can
I wonder if he can force concentration, like I can
I wonder if he has knowledge of all things biotic
Through speech that's super-sonic
Through methods that are chaotic
I wonder, is this his plan? I promise, I'm gonna listen
I do this because I can, for all of the fallen children
For millions, in the light who are hearin' this
I'll unite every spike of a pyramid
To skip crawlin', and start walkin'
Born CinoS; I'm done talkin'..

[Hook: (Johnny Cash sample)]
What have I become? My sweetest friend
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt
I will let you down; I will make you hurt

[Outro: CinoS]
