Track Name: Burden Of Sanity: “It is important to note that, before the first episode of psychosis, there were things that were happening. And if one could pay some attention to those things early, perhaps it can improve the quality of life of the individuals with mental disorders.
So, what are those things that are present before the first episode actually quick in? Social withdrawal is fairly common; a preference for isolation; negativism manifested or imagined in a lack of meaning or a purpose in life. These are common manifestations of what a stage we call “prodrome”. And it’s important to say: mental disorders can happen to anybody, anywhere, anytime!”
Track Name: Prodrome: Heading straight outside, my body washed in sweat
Feels like crushing my head
Ears are ringing, eyesight clouded, throat dry
Guided by my spinning mind

Trembling legs. Wretched thoughts.

Walk around in circles, rumination
Clinging into my desperation
A life deprived of goals with no achievements to be proud
In fear I locked my room and lay down

Try to sleep. Feeling cold.
Everyday I struggle to stay sane
Inside my brain, my thoughts in disarray

In my dreams there’s something staring me
It reads my mind: It tells me to give up

“You see, we must pay attention to mental disorders.
When a life is at stake we can’t afford to neglect anything.
Everything is important to save a life”

Hopelessness has always been my friend
This dying world I simply don’t care
Lack of faith in all humanity
The burden of my sanity

Core beliefs feeding disease
Now I see what brought me here
Track Name: Full-Body Failure: Sudden pain throughout my chest
Limbs are numb and vision blur
Racing heart, sweating hands
Lips are dry, I feel like falling

Walls around me crumbling
Arteries constriction
Blood pressure rising
Floor beneath me seems to open
Experiencing fear of death

Immobilized, cold sweat in my spine
Shorted air in my lungs, fast breathing
All seems unreal, I look but can’t see
Depersonalized, I watch myself die

Feeling like I lost control
Thoughts are overwhelming me
Hearing what I want to hear
My thoughts from outside

Brain collapse, pressure burning
Overwhelm, struggle for air
Body failure, hallucinating
Heart rate rise, struggle for air

Beginning a full-body failure

Now your thoughts have brought you here
You will witness decay of your own flesh
Track Name: A Line Between Will And Demise: Hearing a voice outside
Externalized thoughts
Tried to preserve my mind
Away from its orders, that tell me to

Go - take that knife, carve into your chest
Remove your inner void, your lack of feelings
Now - show me your despair, bleed out to death
Prove me you’re alive, by dying for me

My face is expressionless
Affect is flat
But inside a turbulence
Of thoughts and a voice, that tells me to

No display of affect or emotion
Alienated from the world
Striving to regain control
I think that I’m insane
When I hear your first say
You’re a part of me, I will do anything
To cut you out

Unresponsive, yet agonizing
And desperation make you raise a blade and cut yourself
And a voice, a commanding voice
Draws a line between my will and my demise

A blade in my flesh to remember
Just a line and the pain to survive
If you cut too deep you’ll remember
Your memories slowly fade away

Now you’re not your own, obey all my commands
Unable to express your feelings

Take it up that knife, all to make me feel
The pain will make me wake this nightmare
Track Name: Therapy of Last Resort: Enter; hope you’re feeling better
A dose of Haldol, for you to stabilize
Your vitals; pressure normalized
Just like the other times, you won’t feel a thing
Lay down here while placing electrodes
Injecting agents; sedation is done
Don’t you worry, we’ll be there all the time
Restrained in your bed, nowhere to hide

Voltage checked; we’re good to go
But on the screen a lot of spikes
Review the file, what’s going on?
Should we proceed? Commencing seizures
His body twitches, drooling yet unresponsive
Just like the other times, it’s still not working

Useless shock, unable to reset your brain
Your own thoughts, reason for your own decay
I’m stronger than you ever will
No treatment for your own demise

Wake up - your treatment is complete
No remission of the main pathology
Rigid muscles, patient refractory
Mental confusion, disorganized speech
Cling in to hope and self-preservation
Let’s administer a new medication
A low dose start of Clozapine
Should stabilize your thoughts and your pain

One month, no progress
Helpless, a victim
Why should I even strive?
Just to feel sedated all the time?
And after a day
The voices are even stronger
What should I do to resist my doom?
Track Name: Living in Disease: Engulfed by currents of thoughts. Condemned to leaving behind.
Succumbed by the grief
I still feel the guilt. Consuming all my will.
Stench of my inner decay.
My heart with tachycardia – But I’m too weak to fight.

I (when your beliefs fade out) have no faith.
And I (your body withers; give up!) look for hope where only pain remains.

Imprisoned in the past – Accepting my demise.
I’ve got no place to hide. Dying from inside.
A shadow of my former self.
My thoughts are getting stronger – That I will not survive

A body lying consumed. Starving still in stupor.
Anhedonic symptoms. Will death unleash my freedom?

I am living in disease

I’ve lost the will to stay alive.
And lost the joy to stand and fight!
Track Name: Within The Depths of My Mind: They call me by a lot of names
And they make the same mistakes
Your doctors promised you salvation
I’m pulling you for your damnation

I am what you wished for
And say what you’re scared to
Admit: Why do you wanna live?
What’s holding you back?
I’ll set you free!

Moving closer now
I must obey all your commands
But I don’t want to die
What lay inside my mind?

I offer you a way to leave
To put an end your misery
Resist will go against my nature
Do as I say; you cannot fight!

I’ve been alone
I fight myself
Within the depths of my mind

So now see there’s no escape
Your life must go without a trace

Enjoy your final moments
Reminiscence is only torture
I see you still want to fight more
Let’s watch how long you prevail
Track Name: The Edge of Existence: Withdraw meds
I’m transformed in this pathetic waste
Lay stand still, fully aware of all my pain
A filthy stench corrodes my room
A mixture of decay and strain

Humiliating stage
My flesh is covered in wounds
My limbs is swollen with blood
I’m losing strength and my pride

In my bed now for five weeks
Pissing blood, internal bleed
I hear you laughing while I rot

A process of decay
Slowly heading to my brain
A focus of resistance
In the edge of my existence

Muscles atrophied
Organs slowly failing
Start a catatonic state

I’m still too weak to fight
My thoughts have brought me here
I am beginning to die
By starvation

Fading
Beginning to die
My cells are rotting
My thoughts have winning
Why must I live?
Track Name: Catabolysis: Twelve weeks now
I lost the last thread of hope
My body smells like a carcass
Alone here with my thoughts
Autophagy
A measure to preserve my brain
In a strive, opened eyes

Glow a light, in my face
No remorse; that’s all right
Accept to die; time has come
I give up; I had enough

The voice I heard
Another ghost from my past
A manifest from my own will
From a life full of woe

Tears dry. Despair. Collapse

Breathe, harder and harder to see
Crumbling in agony
Death is here
Choke, feeling the failing of lungs
Heart infested by clots
Atrophy

Necrotized brain
Thoughts in disarray
I expire in pain
This is my last breath

Forgotten. Abandoned. Eaten by vermins

A corpse was found in advanced stage of rot
Cause of death: undetermined
Multiple organs failure
Victim unknown no records of his past at all
Died alone in his home
Track Name: Thoughts: The Slow Decay: Isolated floor, breaking down the door
In response to the calls
Flies everywhere, a stench of death
A corpse was found
Vomit. Putrid. Rotten.

No ID or cause of death
In the scene it’s hard to breathe
Collect a sample from the teeth
Take a shot and let’s move out

The lab is running analysis, the press is throwing theories
What makes a man falls to decadence?
Was it a murder or suicide? There is no witness to testify
No past records of his life

Cause of death inside his brain
His own thoughts, the slow decay
In this path there’s no escape
Mental illness starts inside
Check your thoughts, the slow decay
Live your life or pay the price

No one has to live on its own
Just to die forgotten and alone
Question your beliefs. Don’t be your own slave
Locked inside yourself. Trapped into your cell
Blinded to the world, apart from your salvation

“We responded to an anonymous call. A closed apartment, a very strong stench that filled the entire floor. Neighbors said they thought the apartment was empty, because they didn’t actually know the tenant. As we knock down the door, we all just started coughing such was the strong putrid air inside. Flies were everywhere and laying in the bed there it was. A corpse in an advance stage of decay. I personally never had seen a human body so vastly decompose at a police scene. The coroner arrived shortly to inquire and collect samples from the body and we started conducting inquiries with possible witnesses. We still don’t know the cause of death…
Investigating further we talked with a clinical psychologist and a psychiatrist who said, and I quote: ‘this could possibly be a case of severe catatonia, perhaps triggered by a very strong psychotic syndrome which developed into starvation. There is no evidence or motive for murder and no signs of suicide; the corpse is just lying in the bed! We have to investigate the history background, but it could be a psychotic disorder, the thoughts could be, ultimately, the cause of death’. Imagine that his own thoughts…. reason for his own slow decay”.
