about

This track was written entirely by Kris originally before being augmented by Marc's own brand of fills and verses, along with Ridge's unique leads, summing up to a very odd, jazz-inspired track unlike anything else on the EP. The lyrics were written by Kris as a means of expressing his sadness over his losses over the years and his state of mind, hence the name Perspective. This song was reworked many times before this final version.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fuck I can't wait for the misery to dissipate
In my mind I only see black and minor shades of grey
When I wake and I regret all I've came to recollect
Every night is just the same

[Chorus 1]
Please wake me up
I don't want this anymore
I can't see where I've fallen

[Verse 2]
Take my misery
And everything you've ever given to me
Even this fucking worthless life
Take it all
Even this fucking worthless life
I really just want to fucking die

Fucking die

No

[Breakdown]
Decimate, desecrate
breaking down everything just to change our ways
But it never works
Never
Always relocate your focus away from the suffering
Never
Failure's not a choice, but a definite demise

[Chorus 2]
Please wake me up
I don't want this anymore
Happiness ripped away
Never to be seen again
Happiness ripped away
Never to be seen again

[Hardcore groove]
And the cycle begins again
Crawling deep beneath my skin
Down my throat, and in my lungs
Approaching my lifeline with death to come
Here we go one more time
Pick up the pace so I can end my life
The only enemy is myself
Can't you hear me screaming for help?
Wake me up

[Chorus 2]
Please wake me up
I don't want this anymore
Happiness ripped away
Never to be seen again
