about

Ghost Complex's new track 'Mania' showcases all the best elements of the 'Dark Matter' EP while also acting as a bridge to a new sound from the band. Mania is the heaviest and darkest song Ghost Complex has written to date.
It explores the dark corners of Vocalist Jackson Kingsmill's mind and vividly shines light on the dissociative effects depression can have on one's mind.

The track details the disconnect from reality and the dark paths wanting to numb yourself of pain can take you down.

lyrics

Consume me
Erase me

Dotted line, undefined, sinking deeper by the day
Wasted nights, burning light while i watch it slip away
To find beauty in all the suffering
To find hope in these empty words I’ve screamed
Rolled the dice, snake eyes, bet it all and paid the price
Last rights, sacrifice, trapped inside these endless nights
To find beauty in all the suffering
To find hope in these empty words I’ve screamed

A maze inside my brain
The solace and the pain
It always stays the same

I’m wasting life on borrowed time
And drowned myself in blood and wine
I refuse to lose what’s left behind
When I am buried deep beneath the nine

Consume me
Erase me

In my mind I’m confined and it’s eating me away
Blurred the lines, saw the signs will I always be the way
To find the worth in this endless misery
To find truth in empty suffering

Consume me
In grief and suffering
Erase me
Make the sacrifice
Subliminal self destruction

I watched it fade away
The sadness and decay

But it all just stays the same

I’m wasting life on borrowed time
And drowned myself in blood and wine
I refuse to lose what’s left behind
When I am buried deep beneath the nine
I’m wasting life on borrowed time
And drowned myself in blood and wine
Like this avarice inside my mind but it’s all burning out in dying light

Tell myself all the same but it never goes away

Consume me
In grief and suffering
Erase me
Sedate me
Erase me
