The Apex Doctrine

Brainwashed and programmed
Begging for approval, what approval?
We crave things out of reach
A vicious circle of social needs

My own enemy is me
(My own enemy is me) me
(My own enemy is me) me
(My own enemy is me) me
(My own enemy is me)

Fate twisted by metal
My mind has been torn

A scorching reality, a twisted hate resides in me
Through gears and bone, it grinds its way
The releasing of a plague, reality

Through compulsive urges
Another man is born

Life has come crashing before my eyes
As the person deep within me dies
Transcending all

Fate twisted by metal
Another man is torn (is torn)

My own enemy is revealed
(My own enemy is revealed)
(My own enemy is me)
(My own enemy is revealed)
(My own enemy is me)

Debilitating reality, is there a point?
Am I even awake?
Nonmipotent
Am I poisoned beyond the point?

Don't disappoint them and do what you're told
Like cattle to the slaughter, no will to oppose
Independence denied (independence denied)

Inside me, victim of a raging war
Inside me, the person I was before
Inside me, I am lost in this maze
Inside me, caught in a tragic phase

Within me, release myself from denial
I'm no longer begging for approval
Inside me, I am lost in this maze
Inside me, caught in a tragic phase
How do I release the rage?

Don't disappoint them and do what you're told
Like cattle to the slaughter, no will to oppose
Into an emptier void, into an emptier void
Into an emptier void

(We) we crave things out of reach
Empty void of social needs
