Description
VOLATILE METAMORPHOSIS is a dark, psychologically disturbing journey into the destruction of innocence and the transformation of a gentle, compassionate boy into a man who thrives on the very violence he once despised.
This is not the story of someone born evil. It is the story of someone who was taught to become everything he once feared.
Through years of psychological torment, humiliation, betrayal, and emotional abuse, kindness became weakness, pain became shame, and shame eventually ignited into uncontrollable rage.
The boy who once cried in silence slowly disappeared, replaced by a hollow reflection of the person he used to be. Love became resentment. Compassion became indifference. Fear became an appetite for destruction.
Driven by haunting industrial rock, sinister atmospheres, and emotionally volatile vocals, VOLATILE METAMORPHOSIS explores the terrifying consequences of prolonged psychological suffering and the moment when the victim begins to resemble the very monsters who created him.
Beneath the rage lies the tragedy of a child who never wanted to hurt anyone. He simply wanted the world to stop hurting him.
Inside this blackened heart is where everything comes to die
Some monsters aren't born. They're created by the very people who fear them.
Lyrics
I never really meant
To hurt anyone.
At least
No one who didn't have it coming
I was never one for violence
I found myself A Coward
Crying alone in the silence.
I was a boy
Who couldn't raise his hands
I swallowed every insult
I learned to disappear
I wore my shame like clothing
And dressed myself in fear
They called my kindness weakness
They taught me how to hate
And every time I forgave them
They gave me more to take
Look what I've become.
You killed all the good inside me,
And taught this thing to love the pain.
No more love.
No compassion.
No innocence inside.
Inside this blackened heart
Is where everything comes to die.
Then came the shame
For all my weakness
And Shame became pain
And pain became rage
Something beyond nuclear
Was burning in its cage
The boy who feared the violence
Became the man who craved the pain
I stopped begging for forgiveness
I stopped looking for a way
I found a strange salvation
In everything I used to hate.
Look what I've become.
No more love
No compassion.
No innocence inside.
Inside this blackened heart
Is where everything comes to die.
